Yes. It is important that the slogan, though short, reflects what you are 
about. Reading the current site, I see you care a lot about community, people 
- relationships. Maybe start there. Then I see intuitive, powerful and latest 
technology, too, that could also be your focus. Perhaps something like (and 
imagine this on a page like owncloud.org):

"Video Editing Made Personal"

Or, to focus more on tech and ease of use:
"Modern Video Editing Made Easy"

And then a bit more detail, here I just don't know what you want well enough 
to create a good text. Perhaps this works:

"Produce creative videos with the latest technology in an intuitive interface 
developed by an open and welcoming community"
If going with the first slogan...

Or something else ;-)

Yeah, having photo of a monitor setup with Kdenlive, or even a nice laptop on 
a table with a camera next to it, that would look real nice as intro.
