Comments.Text: Welcome Aut0 :) Please ask a new question on VFX and what exactly do you want to achieve - asking multiple questions is not allowed here. In general there is Blender and Natron. I'd also recommend you to read this article for NLE's: http://opensource.com/life/15/1/current-state-linux-video-editing. Anyway, enjoy video.se!

  Does anyone else have any recommendations for open source software? FX software recommendations would also be welcome.

  Light Works is supposed to be pretty good. It's been used on some pretty big budget projects so it's definitely worth a look. I have tried it myself though.
