A friend of mine has invited me to compose for some videos he's planning
on making. We haven't started yet, but I thought it might be good to be
a bit ahead, especially since I haven't done this before and I know next
to nothing about video...
The noise making apps will be running ontop of jack. Google suggest I
should look into xjadeo with the -i switch. Is that it? Anything
(formats, codecs, framerates, interlaces other-stuff-I-dont-get) that I
should ask for or try to avoid?

My experience so far was not about a full-fledged multichannel 5.1
soundtrack but with a sonification of a silent film
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://vimeo.com/7317445">http://vimeo.com/7317445</a> and a brief 'experience report' here:

After getting used to it using xjadeo which simply synced with ardour,
rosegarden and any Jack-transport-enabled app was a charm.<br>

But keep in mind that the 'video-hell' is not just linux: my colleagues
use a very expensive final-cut and they're still always having touble
with framerates, aspec ratios, codecs, etc. etc.<br>
<br>
Much also depends, I think, on the kind of film (short movie, full
film, documentary) and what kind of work <i>you</i> have to do (music
only, all soundtrack etc.)<br>
<br>
