Adding an effect to a clip did nothing: the sequence render is flattened into a montage (decode + composite), and MontageClip carried no effect data at all. - MontageClip gains an ordered effect stack (type id / enabled / effect input / parameter values); protocol v2 carries it as an additive wire field (older peers default to an empty stack). - renderops::video_montage fills the stack from the effect chain (the footage source node — the chain end without an effect input — is dropped; the montage decodes the footage itself). Export (oak-task) and the multicam single-track montage fill it too. - The worker applies the stack between decode and composite: built-in Opacity gets a CPU evaluator (C++ opacity.frag parity — whole vec4, alpha included, unity pass-through); everything else dispatches as an OFX plugin job through a new instance-factory slot (oak-plugin lazily creates + caches one instance per identifier per render process) with the montage's parameters injected. Disabled effects bypass (the C++ traverser pushes the effect input through). Unknown types warn once per type id and pass through — no silent no-ops. Not covered (explicitly): Transform/Crop and the other ~30 built-in effects have no CPU evaluator in oak-render (they pass through with a warning), keyframed parameter animation, audio effect chains, and the CLI's simplified montage. Acceptance: a real 50% Opacity on real media quarters the rendered pixels both in-process (renderops test) and through a real worker process over IPC + shared memory (procpool_integration test); disabling restores the plain render byte-for-byte.
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" |
