Jahshaka (formerly known as CineFX) aims to become a cross-platform, open source, free, video editing software, 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 Qt, but its user interface is written using an OpenGL library to create GUIs. Since it uses OpenGL and OpenML, it could be ported to many different platforms that have the necessary computing power. Jahshaka is released under the GNU General Public License. The project has come under criticism as the latest update, being in October 2006, has been abandoned by developers due to inefficient code and excessive glitches. After the version 2 abandonment, developers have been promising a newly coded, reliable version 3. The developers had been updating OpenLibraries, pushing the development of version 3 further in an unannounced time table.
