Welcome Marina,

Thanks for your interest.

Packaging kdenlive is currently in progress for GuixSD, so that is an
option. Another option would be using ffmpeg directly to assemble the
videos.
The minimal requirements were determined to be: a slideshow like video
assembled from static images and timing data, support for subtitle files in
multiple languages and support for multiple audio streams. These were
determined on the basis, so that we do not require broadband connection
from our applicants. If you have a connection with enough bandwidth
available, the we are also open to other options. I suggest using screen
record only style, so that we can more easily translate the videos later.
We also require, that the video can be assembled and edited by using free
tools only. Otherwise we are open to options.

Best regards,
g_bor
