free Shake killer
Friday, February 11, 2005 at 5:10PM Someone finally did it.
A friend on the Media Motion AE list just posted news of a freeware 32bpc compositing app called Edo. Mac only. Like Shake. Except Edo seems to use the GPU for various realtime effects, including 3D transformations and stuff, in very much the same way that Shake does not.

OK, it looks cool and I've figured out how to connect nodes (video to a transform to output) but I can't seem to get a preview that shows that it does anything. The keframing isn't terribly intuitive....then again, I've only ever dabled with Shake which is why I knew enought o do as much as I've done. Guess I'll stick with AE.
Hmm, the app look and feels great, however it crashed on me after I tried to get a larger output preview, and the whole palette approach is a bit cumbersome. I'm not sure it is a shake killer, for a number of reasons. Shake has, among others, and amazingly open architecture, and you can go very far in creating your own custom interface/macros/scripts and sharing them.
But these are minor points. I wonder how people can make this type of stuff for free? How long can it take to code such a beast?
Great initiative. I'm looking forward to dab into it a little more.

Hmm - looks pretty interesting and has occupied me for an hour playing with it... but how do you output to a file?
Hey I'm a friend of yours...

has anyone seen/heard/used Jashaka??

it claims to be realtime (harnessing gpu/opengl) as well, is freeware, runs on win and linux boxes.
looks kinda fun - but dunno if it's broadcast quality. good for titling, maybe not hardcore compositing...
