...and since you ask about Avidemux, yes, I used that some 10 years ago when I was still a fresh Linux *desktop* users and wanted a close replacement for VirtualDub I used to know from the Windows world. Now if I want just a transcode or resize, there's Mencoder for the job.
A few years ago I was involved with a project where I had to edit (simple edits: cut the video, add titles, credits, transcode) videos on a regular basis (a few of them once a month). At the time, after trying various alternatives, I settled on Kdenlive, which seemed to fill the bill. Now I don't do that any more, have only to edit once in a blue moon a video of my baby daughter (I still prefer to deal with photos) and Kdenlive feels strange in a Gtk+ desktop, so I gave OpenShot a try and it works (I like how it uses Inkscape as an external editor for titles). I got multiple recommendations for Blender, but it always feel like I lack the time (read balls) to start learning it, for the others the learning curve i very simple (a few minutes and you are ready to go).
