Ivanka,

Thank you for your comments. I really like what PiTiVi has accomplished to
date but improvements lag behind other products such as OpenShot and
Kdenlive. IMO Ubuntu needs a robust video editor targeted to "not
professionally trained" individuals.

I like the idea of an OpenShot screen cast and I will see if I can squeeze
it in. :-)

A source of sounds I have used in the past is  http://www.freesound.org/
FreeSound Org .

Best regards,

John
