I understand being scared of splitting up your computer, but the first tutorial talks a bit about the Windows Installer (http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer) option. What it does is install the whole operating system as if it's a "program" inside Windows. You aren't partitioning (or splitting!) anything. When you reboot your computer you will get a choice of "Windows" or "Ubuntu" but that's a trick - your Ubuntu installation exists within Windows and if you ever want to get rid of it you can just go to "add/remove programs" in your Windows Control panel, and remove it! So, you know, that probably still sounds a bit scary, but honestly it's not. You cannot possibly do anything irreversible with this thing, if you did want to try it. :)
Though that's not to say, necessarily, that you should. If you're comfortable with the program you have now, there may not be much bonus in going through a new learning curve (and the learning curve for Cinelerra can be quite steep) just for the sake of it being open source.
Also you're too kind, but thanks. I think 90% of cool effects is often just grit and determination.
Yay for bookmarking! Maybe one day you'll want to use this after all! :)
