One thing I really like about both Cinelerra and Blender is they allow one to use clusters of Linux boxen so one can really throw alot of "grunt" at rendering. Totally agree about the use of ffmpeg for various conversions, especially if one's source material has various resolutions, formats, and frame rates. All Linux video editors (and ffmpeg) can benefit mightily from having GPU subsystem with several thousand cores with the proprietary AMD/ATI or NVidia drivers installed along with their corresponding OpenGL and OpenCL libraries and routines. My friends tell me Blender can do anything, except apparently be easy for me to learn how to use ;-) Blender rendering services on remote "cloud" supercomputers is also readily available if you have the Internet speeds to use them (we don't in Australia with its aged copper twisted pair infrastructure). Hope this helpful.
