The LiVES Project

We are pleased to announce our support of the LiVES “LiVES is Video Editing System” project to bring it to 1.0 status. LiVES is a Free, Open Source video editor and “Video Jockey” visual art tool. LiVES mixes realtime video performance and non-linear editing in one application. It allows for video editing without strict adherence to formats, frame sizes, or framerates. The LiVES project increases diversity in the video editing and “VJ-ing” area of the open source media market and promotes open formats and standards for multimedia.
