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.
