Blender

Blender IS FUCKING LIT. But deep as hell.

Start blender, change the "screen block" (first dropdown to the left from the far top-left corner) to Video Editing
Now you have three areas, what I'll call top-left "graph", top-right "video preview", middle "video sequence", bottom "video playback"; each has a viewbar at the bottom of the area; in the "graph" area, select the area type dropdown (far left) and change it to "properties"; note that strangely, the properties ares has its area type dropdown at the TOP of the area, doh
In the "video sequence" area, click Add > Movie to get a file browser and pick a movie file; I like to change the view to list and sort to by date by using the toolbar
