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.
Once finished, it would be in the same market space as Newtek's Video Toaster and Pinnacle Liquid Edition.
Since it uses OpenGL and OpenML, it could be ported to many different platforms; theoretically, it should run on any platform that supports OpenGL and has the necessary computing power. It has been reported that the latest release conflicts with VLC media player when running on Intel Macs.
