From the site:
“We are pleased to announce that the jahshaka 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!

For the past 2 years our project has been held up by a group of sponsors who had alternative goals when they took the project over, and these goals have resulted in very little progress and traction. As a result, instead of delivering the V3 that we set out to build, we were only just able to get Jahplayer v3 out the door.”

I have been having trouble with version 2 (the current release), and it seems (from what I’ve read in the forum) that others are too. For some reason, at this point, the application no longer opens with the main editing window and I have no way of accessing the window, preferences, or anything else in the menus. It has stopped responding, unfortunately.

I’d be happy to do a tutorial on iMovie or Final Cut Express, though Final Cut Express isn’t open-source. (Technically, I guess iMovie isn’t, but it does come with Mac OSX free of charge).
I’ve gone through a few other open source video editing programs (Avidemux, HyperEngine-AV and ZS4 Video Editor), but they don’t seem to be extraordinarily functional compared to iMovie for Final Cut.
