Editor's review of Jahshaka
4.0 stars
- "Make your animation rock"
If you're looking for a free program with the video and audio editing capabilities of professional-level software, Jahshaka should be tops on your list. With every release, it gets more stable and gains more features.
The list of what the application can do is extensive and exhaustive. It can handle real-time image processing with node based effects; editing in DV, SD, HD and film; real-time 3D compositing and Flash animation (up to 32k matte layers); OpenGL-based paint; and a text module. There's also modules for color correction, keying, and tracking, and an array of media support. The app also comes with JahPlayer, a media player that claims to work with "virtually" all audio and video formats; we tested it against all the majors (MOV, AVI, MPEG, MP3, WAV, OGG) and some minor ones, too, and found it to be flawless. The JahPlayer is supposed to work on Nokia cell phones, although we didn't have one handy to test that on.
Promoted as cross-platform, able to function with Macs and Linux as well as it does with Windows, Jahshaka has the potential to drastically change the am-pro animation scene. However, as an open-source application, it's not going to run perfectly yet, and so we recommend it at least for intermediate users willing to wrestle with any problems that arise.

Version: Jahshaka 2.0 RC3
Pros: ...reading about this, seeing that it was open source interested me, it's abilities looked good, BUT, that's as far as I got. I was interested in it as an alternative to Premier and similar programs.
Cons: I tried and tried again to install it, you need Open Libraries for this to work, it just freezes on opening, consuming +90% of my CPU until I terminate the program. I'll come back sometime when what seem to be big bugs are fixed.

Version: Jahshaka 2.0 RC3
"Had potential, fails to deliver"
Pros: It was Open Source software
Clean interface
It uninstalls quite cleanly
Cons: User interface is crowded, and has no tooltips
Followed the basic Animation Tutorial on the site with great difficulty and was able to complete it, however was not able to render (or even find the Render button) to mpg or other useable file.
I consider myself a patient, computer expert with an eye for detail, but I simply could not figure this software out.
No help files
Last site update or addition in 2005. Assume the project is dead.
