Professional-grade video editing simplified through AI-enhanced timeline management and real-time rendering.

Professional-grade real-time video performance and non-linear editing for Linux environments.
LiVES (Linux Video Editing System) is a dual-purpose video application that functions as both a professional Non-Linear Editor (NLE) and a powerful tool for live VJing. Its technical architecture is built on a C-based core designed for extreme efficiency and low-latency video processing. By utilizing the Weed-events and RFX (Render Effect) plugin architectures, LiVES allows developers to extend its capabilities without recompiling the main engine. In the 2026 market, LiVES remains a cornerstone for privacy-conscious creators and live performers who require a 'no-telemetry' environment and absolute control over frame-accurate playback. It excels in environments where hardware resources are dedicated to output rather than background OS processes. Its ability to be controlled via Open Sound Control (OSC) and MIDI makes it a favorite for multi-media installations. While the UI retains a classic functional aesthetic, its underlying capabilities for handling arbitrary frame rates and resolutions—independent of the source material—position it as a robust alternative to proprietary subscription-based suites for technical video professionals.
Allows for the creation of effects and transitions using scripts that can be written in any language (Perl, Python, C).
Professional-grade video editing simplified through AI-enhanced timeline management and real-time rendering.
Professional-grade local video editing with hardware-accelerated enhancement and 4K precision.

Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Comprehensive implementation of the Open Sound Control protocol for network-based trigger and parameter manipulation.
Uses an internal frame-caching mechanism to ensure that every frame is addressable and editable.
Ability to record live performances directly to the timeline while simultaneously outputting to a projector.
Utilizes OpenGL for real-time rendering of transitions and effects during live playback.
The engine does not restrict project dimensions to standard formats like 1080p or 4K.
A dedicated mode for live performance with instant clip triggering and tempo matching.
Need to mix multiple video layers in sync with a live band's BPM.
