Over at the BOHOL Blog, they've written a review covering a number of open source video editing software. Touched on in this article are Jashaka, Avidemux, Cinelerra, Kino and LiVES. The article is much more of an overview than a hands on review of the capabilities of each application.

Jashaka seems to receive the most attention. "Once finished, it would be in the same market space as Newtek's Video Toaster and Pinnacle Liquid Edition. With all promised features it would be a rival to Adobe's After Effects or Autodesk's Combustion - in fact the GUI is heavily based upon Combustion." Big goals and high aims for Jashaka!

Recently Jah Shaka, the founder and lead for this project, says the "project has been liberated from its evil benefactors and is now free to get back to its roots and start building the high end visual effects tools it set out to deliver!"

Perhaps liberation from evil will result in the project moving forward again. Good luck to them.
