LiVES a free video editing software for mac

LiVES mixes realtime video performance and non-linear editing in one professional quality application. It will let you start editing and making video right away, without having to worry about formats, frame sizes, or framerates. It is a very flexible tool used by both professional VJ's and video editors - mix and switch clips from the keyboard, use dozens of realtime effects, trim and edit your clips in the clip editor, and bring them together using the multitrack timeline.

LiVES' features include:


Loading and editing of almost any video format (via mplayer decoder).

Some formats can be opened instantly using decoder plugins (e.g. flv, asf, dv, webm and ogg/theora).

Smooth playback at variable frame rates, forward and in reverse. Display framerate can be controlled independently of playback framerate.
Support for live firewire and TV card inputs.

Ability to edit many filetypes and sources including remotely located files (with mplayer/ffmpeg libraries), and directories of images (rotoscoping).

Real time capture/recording of interactive (via mouseclicks) external windows.

Encode to any of the 50+ output formats which are now supported (e.g. mjpeg, mpeg4, mpeg1/2, h264, webm, VCD, SVCD, DVD, x264/blu-ray, ogg/mp4 ogm, Matroska mkv, dv, swf, Ogg Theora, Dirac, MNG, Snow, xvid, Flash and even animated GIF and PDF)

Real time previews as the effect is processing.

Support for the Frei0r 1.1 and 1.2 effect plugin architectures.

Multiple real time effects are possible during playback (VJ mode), these can also be rendered to frames.
