Slackermedia promotes free and open source software, with the notable exception of Lightworks (without which there would realistically be only one professional-level video editor: Kdenlive). That doesn't mean that free and open source software is all you can use on Linux. There are several off-the-shelf products that you can purchase and use: 

  - [[https://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke/|Nuke]] compositing software
  - [[https://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/mari/|Mari]] 3d painting
  - [[https://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/heiro/|Heiro]] shot management
  - Autodesk Maya
