LiVES (LiVES Editing System) is a free video editing software and VJ tool, released under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later. There are binary versions available for most popular Linux distributions (including Ubuntu, Gentoo, Debian, Fedora Core, Suse, Slackware, Arch Linux and Mandriva). There are also ports for BSD, and it will run under Solaris and IRIX. It has been compiled under OSX Leopard, but not thoroughly tested on that platform.
LiVES' features include:
Loading and editing of almost any video format (via mplayer decoder).
Some formats can be opened instantly using decoder plugins (e.g. flv, asf, dv, webm and ogg/theora).
Smooth playback at variable frame rates, forward and in reverse. Display framerate can be controlled independently of playback framerate.
