For casual video editing, Kino is pretty sufficient. There is also
Cinelerra, which is a bit higher end.

Also check out Blender, it has non-linear video editing and Jack
support is available in the 3.5 pre-releases. I think Jack transport
is also coming for Blender.

Oh, I forgot, on the commercial side, TVPaint has a beta test version
available for Linux. It's a 2D animation/post-production tool but has
some good video editing and compositing tools and will be one of the
first commercial apps like this for Linux:
