Proxy generation no longer pegs the machine: - the transcode probes for a hardware H.264 encoder once per process and uses it when present (macOS h264_videotoolbox; Windows/Linux h264_nvenc -> h264_qsv -> h264_amf; libx264 remains the universal fallback and the untouched C++ parity path), with decode-side -hwaccel auto (HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit decodes in hardware on Apple Silicon / RTX 50+ / Intel GPUs and falls back to software cleanly); quality/preset map from the proxy CRF/preset per encoder - the concurrency limit is configurable (ProxyMaxConcurrent, default 1) in the Proxy Settings dialog; auto-generated jobs queue and the next starts when a slot frees. The invariant concurrency x per-job threads <= logical cores / 2 holds by construction (thread budget = half the cores / concurrency, clamped to [1,8], covered by a unit test), and on Unix ffmpeg runs nice -n 10 so the background task never starves the foreground - deleting a footage's proxy also removes it from the auto-generation queue
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" |
