Open source video editor recommendations

As per the title - what's the best around?

I'm looking for something which is similar or directly apes Adobe After Effects if possible (as GIMP to Photoshop)

Or failing that what can I use in Linux to simply split a file into sections in separate files? (then I could do the editing in After Effects on a windows machine afterwards - I just want to do some of the more boring clip-selection part of the process on my laptop when I have a spare moment here or there)

Take a look at Blender, Open Shot and Cinelarra.

All are under GPL licences and I'm pretty sure they are all free to download.

And then WMM alternative wise there's OpenShot and PiTiVi.
