Another closed source movie tool for Linux I found out about recently is
Fabric Engine. They are sponsored by AMD no less.

The movie industry has clearly embraced Linux so it's really very strange
that the audio industry is still claiming that they are scared to get
their feet wet given that the majority of paying work these days is as a
direct result of the film and television, marketing industries. The money
to be made from selling a cd is almost negligible compared to a salaries
being earned producing and editing for film/tv and ever increasing web
based content markets.
