I have never really used any video editing tools on any platform, so I
cannot speak to the quality or features it provides (conversely if we
are talking about professional grade audio tools then I have a lot of
experience here).  Iirc, you need to install a different version of
Cinerella.

Instructions for installing on your version of Ubuntu can be found here:
