I've tried everything that I can find and in the end I decided that my best bet was Blender. It's the only thing which is reasonably bug free and has a UX that allows you to get work done at a reasonable speed. I would say that even without considering bugs, the biggest problem with the free/open source video editors out there is that the work flow is truly awful for doing repetitive actions. I think the pull to be "easy for beginners" is just too strong. The applications turn into a frustrating exercise in precision mouse clicking. Blender's UX is actually awesome... but intuitive it is not, unfortunately. I think it too me 2 days just to configure it before I got started LOL.
