LiVES - LiVES is a Video Editing System

Clips by Salsaman and others

This is the latest demo made using LiVES 0.9.8.4. It is encoded using x264/vorbis in a matroska container. The file is very high quality, 640x480, 25 fps and 6 minutes long, yet the file size is just 96 MB - almost half the size of an equivalent mpeg2 encoding. It can be downloaded here:http://lives.rm.org/demos/flyingskunk.mkv.

The exact same file was uploaded to Youtube (note that youtube's encoding reduced the quality very considerably). You can view it here:

or click on the link here to go to Youtube.

This next demo is notable in that it was the first to be arranged and then rendered from the multitrack window in LiVES. It just a technical demo and not intended to show any artistic talent or lack thereof. However it shows the kind of things that are possible with LiVES 0.9.6. http://lives.rm.org/demos/mtlives.mpg [30 MB]

Demo by Salsaman, showing the new Weed effects system in LiVES: http://lives.rm.org/demos/weed-demo-sm.ogg [74MB, 320x240, ogg theora format]

[Note: this was recorded in real time then rendered and encoded. It is a quarter size of the original. The slow frame rate at some points is due to a missing optimisation which has now been added to LiVES. Total time to produce - under 1/2 an hour.]

Clips made by other LiVES users

Marco de la Cruz, a Canadian video artist, also makes some very nice clips using LiVES, his latest work can be found at: http://www.reimeika.ca/marco/latest.html

Here is another LiVES video on youtube, this one by prototype9000. featuring Meat Beat Manifesto, and Ronald McDonald on acid. Very strange...

"Sorteal" Has also made some clips using LiVES, which he has uploaded to youtube. You can find these clips by doing a search on Youtube for "sorteal", or by clicking here.

And here is a clip created by a novice user at last year's Phreaknic conference.

Note: if you have a clip created with LiVES which you would like to share, please get in touch with salsaman !
