Browsing this classification can help you to search for a package which corresponds to known needs; even if it returns a (moderate) number of hits, the rest of the search can be done manually. To do that, you can use the <literal>~G</literal> search pattern in <command>aptitude</command>, but it is probably easier to simply navigate the site where tags are managed: <ulink type="block" url="https://debtags.alioth.debian.org/cloud/" />

Description: Non-linear editor for Digital Video data
Kino allows you to record, create, edit, and play movies recorded with DV
camcorders. This program
uses many keyboard commands for fast navigating and
editing inside the movie.


The kino-timfx, kino-dvtitler and kinoplus sets of plugins, formerly
distributed as separate
packages, are now provided with Kino.

A slightly more successful searching pattern is a plain-text search in package names, but it remains very limited. You can generally find results by searching package descriptions: since each package has a more or less detailed description in addition to its package name, a keyword search in these descriptions will often be useful. <command>apt-cache</command> and <command>axi-cache</command> are the tools of choice for this kind of search (see <xref linkend="sidebar.apt-axi-cache" />); for instance, <command>apt-cache search video</command> will return a list of all packages whose name or description contains the keyword “video”.
