There's cinepaint, cinelerra, lives, kdenlives, jahshaka,  avidemux2 to
name a few. I don't know how many of these are available for Ubuntu
though.
Cinepaint - afaik - is used in Hollywood and there are some "big name"
movies that used Linux boxes in the pre-release processing. It's
basically gimp for film, in as much as you can load each cell in and
edit it as though it were a still image. Cinelerra and jahshaka et al
are more for splicing existing sequences of frames, striping audio on
and maybe adding effects.
Mandrake had a lot of great rpm's for this sort of thing. Suse also I
think, if you get the pro version. 

For a distro aimed specifically at audio and video recording, editing &
processing there's a cracking little distro called dyne:bolic.
(dynebolic.org) Runs from the cd, absolutely loads of
musicians/studio/video type apps pre installed, also has the usual rake
of internet/office type apps and has windowmaker as default desktop with
blackbox in reserve.
