FFmpeg 8 removed the standalone hardware decoders (h264_videotoolbox/ vaapi/nvdec/d3d11va no longer exist in its configure) — hardware decode now only exists as a hwaccel attached to the software decoder. The new oakcodec::hwdecode module therefore opens the regular decoder with the platform's hardware device context attached (VideoToolbox on macOS, VA-API then NVDEC on Linux, D3D11VA then NVDEC on Windows): FFmpeg engages the matching hwaccel, decodes into hardware surfaces, and we transfer them to system memory (NV12/P010) ahead of swscale. - HardwareDecoding config switch, default ON by mandate; a checkbox in Preferences > Rendering (EN/ZH); device creation failure skips to the next candidate and finally to software; a decode-time failure on a hardware session reopens it as software and retries once. - hw_decoder_name() observability hook plus a HW_TRANSFERS counter so tests can prove the hwaccel really engaged (not silently software). - Verification: demo.mp4 H.264 decodes through VideoToolbox with a transferred hardware surface, and the pixels match the software decode within 0.05; switch off forces software. - build-ffmpeg.sh also enables nvdec when ffnvcodec headers exist.
Oak Video Editor
Oak Video Editor is a free non-linear video editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
This project is a community-maintained fork of Olive Video Editor.
NOTE: Oak Video Editor is alpha software and is considered highly unstable. While we highly appreciate users testing and providing usage information, please use at your own risk.

Roadmap
| Version | Theme | Core Deliverables | Boundary Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | Plugin Architecture Milestone | Production-ready OpenFX host support | Not about quantity of plugins, but "any OFX plugin loads without crashing" |
| 0.4 | Color, Audio & Performance | .cube/.3dl support, scopes (waveform/vectorscope/histogram), three-way color wheels, waveform auto-sync, BWF timecode sync, audio meters (LUFS/VU), proxy media workflow, hardware-accelerated export (NVENC/VideoToolbox), batch render queue |
Combines the previous 0.4-0.6 scope into one usability milestone: color workflow, audio sync, and 4K/8K performance |
| 0.5 | Animation, Tracking & Collaboration | Bézier keyframe curve editor, basic point tracking, image stabilizer, full multicam angle switching, OpenTimelineIO, EDL/XML import/export | Combines the previous 0.7-0.8 scope into one timeline/interchange milestone |
| 0.6 | Stability Milestone | Project file format freeze (backward compatibility promise), crash recovery, autosave, memory optimization | "Feature freeze" testing period before 1.0 |
| 1.0 | Production Ready | Complete documentation, installers, known issues list, community support channels | Declared "ready for serious projects" |
