DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the lives command.

       LiVES   lets  you start editing and making video right away, without having to worry about
       formats, frame sizes, or framerates. LiVES will let you start  creating  your  own  tools,
       utilities and effects via the built in RFX builder.
