I was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up to Kdenlive; while it's very powerful I found it easy to do the simple edits I wanted to do and when I wanted to try something more advanced it was easier than I expected. It's free and OSS so you really haven't go much to lose if you want to take it for a spin.
