I have many video clips with different formats and I want to create a short movies by joining them. Most of the clips are taken with Nokia N8 and Lumia 800. I am using Ubuntu, I have tried many of editors but I can not edit/video clips due to different video formats. Which open source editor should I use to achieve following tasks:
- Join different vidoe formats/encoding to produce on single movie
- Export to different formats (.avi, youtube, etc)
- Add texts on the clips and insert images
I don't want to install and try many of them.

You could try OpenShot, which has also got some 3D Blender animations for titles, but it can be a bit frustrating. Other user-friendly options are PiTiVI and Kdenlive. As far as I've used them, you can easily join clips, insert text and images and export videos to different formats. There is a list of open-source editing software on Wikipedia.
Within a few months Lightworks, a very professional editor, should be available for Ubuntu.
edit: Lightworks is now available for Ubuntu
