> It is better than iMovie in this regard because it doesn't require copying the giant file into some "project" directory like iMovie seems to.

This is my biggest gripe with iMovie. You need to have double the space just to start editing.

I guess their idea was to allow users to move their video files around and delete them at will without being able to mess up the iMovie project.

However, iMovie has great screen transitions. Is there any other free or open source program that compares in that regard?
