I'm looking for a good free (as in freedom + beer) video editor for OS X. It needs to be:

- intuitive / easy to use,
- non-linear, and
- able to work with
.avifiles.
Basically, we have a couple of short video clips, and we want to accomplish the following:
- merge end edit these clips to our liking (of course),
- insert still pictures in 2-3 consecutive frames, and
- i) isolate a frame from the movie, ii) edit this frame in an image editing program, and ii) put this back in the movie.
What can you recommend? Cheers!

I've used avidemux2 a couple of times. It doesn't have all of the functionality of something like iMovie, but for what I needed (pulling out a chunk of a movie), it worked. It is F/OSS and was pretty simple to figure out. It might do what you need.

Most of the free video editing Mac software boils down to front-end apps for mencoder and ffmpeg. As command-line tools they are far from intuitive, but people have worked to ease that pain with wrapper software.

Check out ffmpegx and MPlayer's list of mencoder front-ends.
blahdiblahblahdiblahI've been using Hyperengine AV for several years now, and I can't fault it. Originally I had it running under Panther on a G4 PowerMac, and now I have it running equally well (but faster!) under Snow Leopard on a Mac Pro. It was originally a commercial product from Arboretum systems, aimed at the professional market, but in 2006 they stopped development (a great shame IMHO) and made its final release freely available.
I'd say that its GUI and method of use fits exactly the profile you are looking for: intuitive, non-linear and stable. You just drag video files into the main editing window and work on them: splitting, overlapping, adding transitions, alternative audio tracks, titles etc., then you export the final edit into pretty much any format/codec your machine will support. Here's a link to the sourceforge project page, which contains several screenshots and a download link:
It's a universal binary (PPC and Intel).

Best Video Editor For Mac Os X
Recently, I was trying to get a Java applet to run in the same way on 2 iMacs and my MacBook Air. The applet is a simple vpn client from Juniper that lets me access a Citrix Desktop from any Mac that I can install the Citrix receiver client on so I can work on 'Company stuff' from a large screen iMac when I'm sat at home or from my MacBook when I'm on the road (it works fine over 3/4G).
The first thing is that you have to do some configuring of both Java and Safari to get the applet to run at all.
Once that was all done, I could log in from all my Macs, fire up the applet and establish a secure connection.
On two of the Macs, as soon as I fired up the Citrix app, the Java vpn window would show 'error'. The console showed a Java crash. But on the third Mac, everything worked fine. I made sure that the Safari and Java preferences were set the same on each machine but still no joy. Then I remembered that I had done some Java development in the past and installed various jdks from Oracle so I ran:
in Terminal on each machine. I keep everything up to date via the Java control panel (currently 1.7xx soon to be 1.8) so was surprised to see this:
That was on the working Mac. Then I remembered the difference between 'System' Java, Java plugins, and Java development kits. Simply put, you can have multiple versions of Java in different places. What was happening on the not-working Macs was that the jdk versions were being used, and the Juniper vpn client won't work with them.
To fix things for the moment I simply removed the jdk folders.
And then checked that the reported version of Java was 1.6 on each Mac. Web applets still use the up to date, secure version 1.7 plugin.
[crarko adds: I believe Oracle has said that eventually Java will no longer support applets at all, on any platform.]
