Linux A sizeable number of full featured, mature and free video applications are available on the Linux platform.

To provide insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 42 high quality Linux video applications, covering a broad spectrum of uses. Most of the titles included in this feature are desktop applications with an elegant graphical front-end, although we have not neglected console software.

Well I'll admit I haven't looked at jahshaka for quite a while, but I did follow the project quite closely for a while. The latest binary release on Sourceforge is from October 3, 2006 so I don't think much has happened since I last looked.

Basically they had lots of grand ideas, not very much working code and even less documentation. I really wanted to be able to use it since it sounded like an amazing app, and the developers seemed to have great ambitions for the project. But basically it never really worked. It was awkward to use, had very few features and crashed too often to be usable.

Which was all a great shame since a good compositing and motion graphics tool is really missing in the OSS portfolio.
