I have not been able to try it on linux yet because the links only lead you to files named “jahplayer” on sourceforge.net. they need to fix this first, and some of the download links for linux and osx are null on the official site.

I turned to Jahshaka in hopes to find something like Adobe’s After Effects or Apple’s Final Cut. It seemed to be a perfect solution for somebody with little budget to spend on advanced video editing.
IT KILLED MY COMPUTER!!!
I use and Apple eMac G4, 700MHz, 315MB RAM, OS 10.3.9. According to some sites, this was plenty to run the Jahshaka 2.0. I downloaded it, and it installed beautifully. Unfortunately, it did not run, which is problem enough. About a day after grappling with it and trying to force it to work, I decided to remove it.
Oddly, the installer only put an alias in my application folder. I right clicked it and “Showed Original”. It turned up in a folder marked “bin”. Even more odd, I couldn’t search for the folder. After finding it again, I explored it and found the original Jahshaka and several console files, many marked with names like “CHROMA” and “VIDEO_EFFECTS”. So I deleted them all.
About five minutes later I tried to re- install Jahshaka and install T@b ZS4. None of the files would open, and I couldn’t eject the Jahshaka DMG. So I restarted the computer, only to find it wouldn’t turn on except for a console.
Evidentially, the Jahshaka installer installed the application in a forbidden system file folder necessary for the computer to turn on, that I normally wouldn’t be able to access. In deleting the contents of that folder, I prevented my computer from working.
Jahshaka is a complete failure. If it works for you, that’s perfect, I’m jealous. If you must try it, I would recommend installing it on a DMG or a blank jump drive. But personally, I would spend the money on Apple’s Final Cut, which I have used before and would highly recommend for anyone.
I am going to try and re-install my computer’s OS today. luckily, it is a mac, so I will be able to keep my files, or at the very least put them on an external.
