I read some time ago that there is an Art spin planned. Why don't add movie tools and name it Fedora Studio Spin? There are a lot of hobbyists that are in search of a free studio suite for their own videos and """films""", it could be a reason to chose fedora instead of commercial alternatives that many can't legally afford.
On this list Colby expressed his interest in such a spin containing a video editor:

Do not forget the potential legal troubles around such a spin: it would have to handle out of the box all the tasks using free codecs, which may not be what the users expect (you would not be legally able to master a DVD with it).
