NAME
LiVES - LiVES is a Video Editing System SYNOPSIS

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. OPTIONS
-help Show all commandline options and exit -version Print the version, copyright and licensing details, and exit -set setname Start up lives and autoload set setname -noset Do not load any set on startup -nogui Do not show the GUI (experimental) -aplayer ap Start with selected audio player. ap can be mplayer, sox or jack. Note: This sets the audio player permanently. You can change it in preferences. -jackopts opts opts is a bitmap of jack startup options [1 = jack transport client, 2 = jack transport master, 4 = start jack transport server, 8 = pause audio when video paused, 16 = start jack audio server] Note: jackopts are temporary, only for this instance. You need to set them in Preferences if you want to make permanent changes. -norecover Force no loading of crash recovery -recover Force loading of crash recovery (if present) -oscstart port Start OSC listener on UDP port port if LiVES is compiled with OSC support -nooscstart Do not start OSC listener -devicemap mapfile Load in device mapping file mapfile at startup SEE ALSO
