14 DAY TRIAL // LiVES is a simple-to-use video editor and VJ tool that allows users to combine real time and rendered effects, streams, and multiple video/audio files. The developers have released a new version of it with some minor changes and improvements.
LiVES is a very complex app that provides non-liners video edition features. This kind of application is usually very expensive on any platform, but the makers of LiVES provide it for free. It has a large number of options and it can take a while to learn it, but it's really worth it.
One of the main attributes of LiVES is that users don't need to worry about file formats, framerates, or any other similar aspect. If you don't know what to select exactly, the application will make the necessary adjustments.
The developers have explained that the player is no longer using deinterlacing, a number of libvisual plugins have been added, a bug with the chroma transitions has been corrected, and the openGL playback should be working much better now.
The application is compatible with all the open source platforms, including Linux, BSD, openMosix, IRIX, OSX/Darwin, and more. It will also run on pretty much all types of architectures, like x86, amd64, x86_64, i64, sparc, hppa, ppc, and xbox/x86.
Check out the official announcement for a complete list of new features. You can download LiVES 2.2.7 right now from Softpedia.
