You can also try pitivi from fedora repositories - it doesn't have many of the features openshot and kdenlive have, but it is good enough for simple editing. Also, if you choose avidemux, don't use gtk frontend - in my experience, it is buggy as hell, while qt frontend is much more stable.

Back to the original question :)

It appears you already have RPM Fusion repository installed?

That being the case I would recommend Openshot or Kdenlive. They are
much newer alternatives to Kino which last I checked was really only
designed for editing DV recordings (no HD).

Openshot is largely python based and has a nice interface and is
pretty simple to use. Kdenlive (as the name suggests) uses the KDE
libraries and in KDE fashion is powerful but also more complicated.
You may want to avoid this if you don't have KDE installed and don't
want to pull in a bunch of deps.
