I understand that this is one of the most popular programs available for Linux, behind Cinelerra of course, but I was just wondering how functional it really is? Has anyone here used it before and if so could you answer a few questions I have?

First of all, I was wondering if it is possible to playback material imported to the timeline? I recall the developer's tutorial on youtube and not once did he replay the footage he had imported which leads me to question is this feature available?

Second of all, I noticed on Open Movie Editor's official website that it suggests using Inkscape in conjunction with the program to produce video titles. I was also wondering if anyone had done this before and how did the results look?
