Yes.

Galene records the raw media that it has received from the clients,
hopefully with minimum loss of information.  This is intented to serve as
input for further editing and postprocessing: Galene is not a video
editor, it's a videoconferencing server.

I don't have any particular tool to recommend, but some of my colleagues
have had good results with kdenlive.

Ideally, somebody (not me) should write a tool that does all the necessary
merging and synchronisation of Galene's streams automatically.  I'm not
willing to add any video editing functionality to Galene (Galene is not
a video editor), but I'm willing to generate any supporting files that
such a tool would need.
