So I recieved an interesting email from Nathan Callender, the leader of the Post Magic project. The Post Magic Project is “an initiative to
create a small, fast - yet powerful and stable - media editor and
compositor for the BeOS”. Sounds pretty good to me. And it isn’t entirely vaporware either! Apparently work began in July, and a beta of the video player is now available at their site as well as at BeBits. Looks like an app with a /lot/ of potential, so do what you can to support Nathan in his quest to create a full media editing and compositing suite on BeOS.

   Yes, of course the project can use developers … especially when the project solidifies more and there are separate areas to work on (like the capture application and video/audio effects). Believe me, you do not need to know *any* of the Be API to contribute. What you need to know, you will learn as you go along. … and chances are you won’t even need to know any for writing plugins. Contact the project at info@postmagic.org if you are interested in joining.
