LiVES has goal non-linear editing system
Development
The main developer of LiVES is Gabriel Finch (a.k.a. Salsaman), who is also a video artist and international VJ.
The project began in late 2002, and the 1.0.0 version was released in July 2009.
On the Freecode site, LiVES is listed as the most popular non-linear video editing software.LiVES was nominated for the category of Best Project for Multimedia in the SourceForge Community Choice Awards 2009.
The LiVES application allows the user to manipulate video in realtime and in non-realtime. The application also has features which go beyond traditional video editing applications - for example, it can be controlled and monitored remotely over a network, and it has facilities for streaming to and from another copy of LiVES. It is resolution and frame rate independent.
LiVES uses a system of plugins for effects, decoders, encoders and video playback. The APIs for these are now well defined, and the application can be easily extended.
Actual Version 3.2 is based on GTK+ 2.16+ or 3.
