Jahshaka promises to be an all-in-one media toolkit for budding Hollywood mavens. Boasting video editing, compositing, animation, and audio tools, Jahshaka is also free and open source. Oh, did I mention it's available for Macs, PC's, and Linux boxes? Solaris support is coming soon... Jahshaka (please change that name) suffers the same fate of many other OSS multimedia efforts: clunky GUI. It's not that tools are hidden or missing, it's that the workflow isn't as efficient as many other apps. Still, I thought this about
Blender until one day, after using it for about a month, it just started "working." I'll always say learn the tool, use the tool. Even if it's clunky, you can learn to fly it and it might work for you. Some technical issues exist, as I was unable to bring in simple QuickTime files on my Mac. Also, the promise of realtime editing and effects work is nice, but it will scale (the quality) according to your systems' abilities. Still, overall an amazing effort, and a promising tool despite some quirks.

I tried this out yesterday, and yes, it is still a bit rough. But, it does feel very responsive and seems to have a lot of potential. There were a few glitches where an object would jump strangely when rendering, and it could definitely use better output options.
But, I see this having a lot of potential and could grow to be a very impressive product, as Blender did in the world of 3D modeling/rendering.
