Jahshaka aims to become a cross-platform, open source, free, video editing, effects, and compositing suite. It is currently in alpha stage, supporting realtime effects rendering, but lacking useful implementations of many features such as the non-linear editing system. It is written using Trolltech's Qt, but its user interface is written using an OpenGL library to create GUIs.

Since it uses OpenGL and OpenML, it could be ported to many different platforms that have the necessary computing power.

Jahshaka is released under the GNU General Public License.

Goals

Once finished, and supposing that it will contain all the promised features, Jahshaka will be a rival to Newtek's Video Toaster and Pinnacle Liquid Edition, Adobe's After Effects or Autodesk's Combustion to which Jahshaka owes much concerning its GUI.
