Has anyone tried it? It's an open-source node-based video compositor that looks promising.

http://ramenhdr.sourceforge.net/

There's binaries for Linux and OSX Intel 32-bit binaries on the site, apparently it can be built for PowerPC and Windows. I haven't tried it as I don't have a Linux system handy nor do I have the Developer Tools on my 10.4 based eMac.

EDIT: Hmm, when I searched for Ramen in the forums nothing came up. Now after when I post this, I found a couple of porting questions. Alas I'm asking people's impressions on the software on the current ported platforms.

Hope that it will be ported to IRIX soon!! Looks like a capable nodal compositing software!!

It looks a little like Shake, which I am quite happy with..
Maybe with a lot of effort it might even be ported to IRIX... I am not sure I have the time at the moment.

It's done in hardware, pent. You want to rework all our grafix boards with newer chips ?

I downloaded Ramen and ran it on the Intel Mac. I wasn't not immediately impressed with it. Just seemed quite limited in features, perhaps that will be rectified over time, or maybe I need to spend more time with it.. Time is not something I have a lot of lately.

I might stick with shake at least for now.

You forgot the part where new people join the firm producing the magic beans and decide that the latest thing is to have them flash lights at night. Much time is spend implementing flashing beans and the issues where the leaves fall off in mid June never gets fixed.

Some OSS projects are good at staying focused, others remind me of the people in the Inferno right before Dante and Virgil enter Hell, forever running hither and thither after a flag blown by the winds.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Some latest news, developer of ramen has left the project due to personal reason. The community is trying to pick up the pieces and to continue the project.

Because obviously no commercial software package has ever sucked, under delivered, or become vaporware.
