olive-rs — Node-Based Video Compositor & Rational Timecode Editor in Pure Rust
olive-rs is a safe Rust re-architecture of the Olive non-linear video editor featuring a directed acyclic graph (DAG) node compositor. It evaluates shader-style color grading, procedural effects, and rational timecode timelines with frame-level cache invalidation and 32-bit float color precision.
