LiVES is a Video Editing System. It is designed to be simple to use, yet
powerful. It is small in size, yet it has many advanced features.

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 which is 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.
You can even record your performance in real time, and then edit it
further or render it straight away.

For the more technically minded, the application is frame and sample
accurate, and it can be controlled remotely or scripted for use as a
video server. And it supports all of the latest free standards.

tested on amd64

OK?

The Makefile needs a little cleanup. i.e. the comment in the first line, and the commented out MAINTAINER.
The patch-configure has hardcoded /usr/local in it. use TRUPREFIX or the like and SUBST_CMD it after patching.

when I start it up, and choose jackd as audio player, I get this on the console, and nothing more happens:

otherwise, choosing mplayer, it starts up fine. But well, then don't know what to do with it.

tested on i386.

and after some seconds, just this message came up:

LiVES was unable to locate 'composite'. You should install composite and image-magick if you want to use the merge function.

so probably needs a RUN_DEPENDS on ImageMagick.

Our jack port is obsolete...

ciao,
David

[Peter Hessler-4]

Updated tarball that addresses many of the comments I received.  Most
importantly, this disabled the jack output.  It's pretty broken, and
there are some hints that our jack port is out of date anyways.

attempt 3: port harder.

marked as SHARED_ONLY, removed the static .a files from the internal
plugins, and shortened the list of library deps.
