A bit more info from the people behind it:

We're starting out with a very narrow focus, so if this sounds like you:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Novacu...

Novacut will be a great fit, and we'd love chat with you to make sure it's a great fit.

Novacut will be usable (although simple) soon... say 3 months, assuming Kickstater works out. In terms of the "1.0" features we're targeting:

* Real time collaborative editing
* Snapshotting (version control)
* Media asset management (dmedia)
* Very rich tagging, rating, organization
* Highly productive frame-accurate editing
* Automatic audio sync
* Possibly the best multicam workflow ever
* Decent audio features, but fairly simple
* Decent color grading, but fairly simple
* Frame rate adjustment using optical flow
* Fully animate-able playback rate (forward, reverse)
* Enough motion graphic support for credits/titles (looking to Blender for full motion graphics)

Obviously $25k wont get us all they way to 1.0, but at this point we're just trying to keep moving forward.

Longer term features that wont be "1.0" targets:

* Fully animate-able crop
* Compositing (might have some internal compositing and/or use Blender)
* Full-on Pro Tools style audio features
* Full-on Magic Bullet style color grading

Things we're unlikely to support, although could come from community/industry:

* Tape based workflows
* Weird broadcast hardware
* DVD features
* Obscure cameras, extra weird file formats
