LiVES: Open source video editing tool

LiVES, open source video editing tool

LiVES is a multi-platform video editing application for die-hard open source fans. The application that started in 2002 as Linux Video Editing System is now capable of real-time as well as non-linear video editing on Linux and Unix platforms.

It is small-sized application that can handle almost any video and a large number of audio format. Since it allows real-blending of clips (various chroma and luma blends), it can be used for handling live telecasts such as that by VJs.

With LiVES, one can import audio directly from CDs (useful if you want to use some song etc. as background music for your video or some effect) and can also be cut and paste into video frames.

LiVES can be used to add effects to the video even during live broadcast. The effects are visible in real-time.

Ubuntu users can download a debian package of LiVES from Getdeb. The rest can download LiVES package for all Linux and Unix platforms, and also for Windows and OSX, from LiVES site on Sourceforge.
