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.
