Sub-5 MB binary by standing on the shoulders of giants — runs on hardware that heavier NLEs have left behind.\n\nAmber picks up where the amazing [Olive 0.1](https://github.com/olive-editor/olive) stopped in 2019. The entire rendering stack has been rebuilt (Qt RHI, FFmpeg 7/8, GPU decode), and active development continues toward 2.0.\n\n\u003e **AI-MAINTAINED CODEBASE**\n\u003e\n\u003e The original architecture, UX design, and rendering pipeline that make Amber so lightweight were hand-written by [MattKC](https://github.com/itsmattkc) and the Olive team back in 2019. That foundation is the real engineering. Everything since — the Qt 6 port, the RHI renderer, bug fixes, new features — is just human-assisted. If you are rebutted by this approach, I would respect your opinion, but I prefered an AI-revival over nothing at all.\n\n![screen](.github/amber.jpg)\n\n## Features\n\n- **Multi-track timeline** with clip splitting, ripple/rolling/slip/slide tools, transitions, and keyframe animation\n- **GPU-accelerated rendering** via Qt RHI (Vulkan, Metal, D3D12, OpenGL fallback) — no raw OpenGL calls in the codebase\n- **Hardware video decoding** (VAAPI, D3D11VA, VideoToolbox) — enabled by default, software fallback automatic\n- **Frei0r plugin support**\n\n## Minimum requirements\n\n- **GPU:** OpenGL 3.2+ (Intel HD / Sandy Bridge 2011+, any discrete GPU from the last 15 years). Vulkan/Metal/D3D12 used when available.\n- **CPU:** any x86-64 processor.\n- **RAM:** 512 MB free for simple edits; more helps with long timelines and high-res footage.\n- **Linux:** Arch natively (PKGBUILD), everything else via AppImage (bundles Qt 6.10).\n- **Windows:** 10 or newer. **macOS:** Apple Silicon; Intel Macs untested.\n\nFor GPUs older than OpenGL 3.2, use [version 1.1.0](https://github.com/baptisterajaut/amber/releases/tag/v1.1.0) (legacy OpenGL 2.x renderer).\n\n## Roadmap\n\n1.x is feature-complete, maintenance only. 2.0 is in active development — GPU-native effects, ShaderToy import, scopes, 3-point editing, rendering pipeline overhaul. See [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md).\n\n## Packages\n\nPre-built packages for Windows, Linux (AppImage) and macOS on the [Releases](https://github.com/baptisterajaut/amber/releases) page. Arch Linux: `makepkg -si` from `packaging/linux/PKGBUILD`. Tested on Arch only; other builds are best-effort.\n\n## Build\n\n```bash\n# Linux\ncmake -S src -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release\ncmake --build build -j$(nproc)\n\n# macOS\nbrew install qt@6 ffmpeg cmake\ncmake -S src -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \\\n  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=\"$(brew --prefix qt@6);$(brew --prefix ffmpeg)\"\ncmake --build build -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)\n\n# Arch Linux\ncd packaging/linux \u0026\u0026 makepkg -si\n\n# Docker — AppImage (Qt 6.10, covers Ubuntu 24.04+)\ndocker buildx build -f packaging/linux/appimage.dockerfile --output type=local,dest=./out .\n\n# Docker — Windows NSIS installer (cross-compiled from Fedora)\ndocker build -f packaging/windows/cross-compile.dockerfile --target package -t amber-win64 .\ndocker run --rm amber-win64 cat /out/amber-setup.exe \u003e amber-setup.exe\n```\n\n**Dependencies:** Qt 6.10+ (Core, Gui, GuiPrivate, Widgets, Multimedia, OpenGL, OpenGLWidgets, ShaderTools, ShaderToolsPrivate, Svg, LinguistTools), FFmpeg 3.4–8 (avutil, avcodec, avformat, avfilter, swscale, swresample).\n\n## License\n\nGPLv3.
