So...

You want to make DF based movies? DF has a recording utility already built in.

Then you want a video editor.

But what utilities do I use so I can control everything? For example, I want to try making a machinima of this. I'd need to be able to move elves where they wouldn't normally go.

You can't, as far as I know.
At best the elves could be considered as pets, and still couldn't be accurately controlled without chaining them in place.

I was hoping I could use the DF recording utility built into it. Does the CMV Movie Editor work on wine?

Would it be possible to make military dwarves use the symbol for elves?

Now THAT is entirely possible, making Dwarves that look like snooty pompous elves.
