Olive is a non-linear video editor.
Olive has been redesigned from the ground up. It’s in a very early stage of development.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Sequencer presets.
- Node editing – this offers an alternative way of compositing / applying effects to a clip. Effects are built modularly which offers more flexibility in creating effects, and reduces the need for plugins.
- Caching – pre-renders a portion or all of the sequence to disk as small images. This makes previewing edits faster since Olive doesn’t have to render everything all over again when nothing has been changed.
- Color management system using OpenColorIO.
- Olive theming API is based on QSS stylesheets.
