Oak Video Editor is based on Olive, aiming to deliver a more complete and user-friendly editing experience.
Some of the docs are written in Chinese.You can translate them by this tool:
which maintained by TUST OpenAtom Open Source Club.
- Premiere-like keyboard shortcut experience
- OpenFX plugin support — the plugin system used by DaVinci Resolve
- End-to-end color management support
- 10-bit display output
- OCIO LUT support
- Proxy editing workflow
- Timeline interchange with DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro via OpenTimelineIO and Final Cut Pro XML
The editor consumes Quercus as a git submodule (quercus-engine/), with every
consumer declaring both the pinned version and the submodule path
(quercus-engine-rs = { version = "=0.6.1", path = "../../quercus-engine/crates/quercus-engine-rs" }).
Clone with git clone --recurse-submodules (or run git submodule update --init --recursive)
before building. The project FFmpeg build is mandatory: run
tooling/install-deps.sh and tooling/ffmpeg/build-ffmpeg.sh before the first
cargo build, and do not point FFMPEG_DIR at a system/Homebrew/distro
FFmpeg — that produces link errors or loads the wrong libraries.
See the Build Guide and the Quercus engine repository.
