It allows user to start editing and making video right away, you don’t have to worry about frame sizes, frame rates, or formats. It will let you do whatever you want to and its extensibility allows you to create your own tools, effects and utilities via built-in RFX builder. Basically it is aimed at the digital video artist who wants to create their own content, the video editor who wants to create professional looking video, and the VJ who wants to captivate with spectacular images.

For video editing it can load and edit most of the video formats (via mplayer decoder). It offers smooth playback at variable frame rates, forward and in reverse. Display frame-rate can be controlled independently of playback frame-rate. You can cut and paste of frames within and between clips. Also easily save/re-encode the clips, selections, and individual frames.

Streams can be piped from stdout into other applications; Live inputs for firewire and TV cards; Supports fixed and variable framerates. Playback rate can be smoothly adjusted independant of display rate; Real time capture/recording of interactive (via mouseclicks) external windows. Playback can use LiVES’ own internal player, there is also a high performance fullscreen SDL playback plugin; Support for RGB24, RGBA32, YUV420 (TV), and UYVY palettes, horizontal chroma subsampling is implemented; Ability to edit many filetypes and sources including remotely located files (with mplayer/ffmpeg libraries), and directories of images; Rotation, resizing and trimming of video clips; Ability to instantly alter the playback speed of video and audio independently; Deinterlacing, subtitle removal; Instant saving/loading of clips for performances/presentations.
Encode to any of the 50+ output formats which are now supported (e.g. mjpeg, mpeg4, mpeg1/2, VCD, SVCD, DVD, ogg/mp4 ogm, Matroska mkv, dv, swf, Ogg Theora, Dirac, MNG, Snow, xvid, and even animated GIF and PDF!). Encoder formats can be extended through the encoder plugin API. Resampling of video (time stretching) to any frame rate (1 to 200 fps; accurate to 8 decimal places); option to auto-resample or speed up/slow down between clips.

It supports and can load mp3, ogg, mod, xm and wav format files. LiVES can also load tracks directly off CD to use with your video (using cdda2wav). It also has ability to save audio selections, and append audio. You can even trim sound to fit the video selections. You can cut and paste audios within and between clips. Resampling of audio (rate, channels, sample size, signedness and endianness); audio is auto-resampled between clips. Supports (auto)inserting of silence and deletion of audio sections. Supports LADSPA audio effects.
