Free Stuff: Making Movies for Nothing

My favorite video editing freeware is Jahshaka. Unfortunately, there are almost no tutorials for this excellent, but often underestimated program. I am going to change it so that Jahshaka is better explained and understood.

DISCLAIMER: I don’t have much time, so these tutorials are not extremely high quality. Hopefully, you will get something out of them anyway.

NOTE -May 11, 2011: The Jahshaka producers have since changed the name of the program to Cinefx and the website has been updated so you can no longer download Jahshaka. Feel free to look over the tutorials however. Cinefx is not available for download at this time.
