LiVES, a video editor and VJ tool that permits users to combine real time and rendered effects, streams, and multiple video/audio files, is now at version 2.4.0 and is ready for download.

Non-linear video editors are usually expensive and rather complex apps, but that's not true on Linux. LiVES is a simple solution for non-linear editing that provides all the basic tools you might need to edit a movie. It has lots of options and it might take a while to learn how to use them, but it's free and updated all the time.

According to the changelog, a workaround has been added to expose the event problems in GTK+ 3.10, a threading crash that occurred in multitrack has been corrected, the invalid saving of layouts in multitrack has been fixed, the timeline start position is not placed correctly, the MKV decoder has been fixed, and the code has been cleaned up.

The application is compatible with all the open source platforms, including Linux, BSD, openMosix, IRIX, OSX/Darwin, and more. It will also run on pretty much all types of architectures, like x86, amd64, x86_64, i64, sparc, hppa, ppc, and xbox/x86.

Check out the official announcement for a complete list of new features. You can download LiVES 2.4.0 right now from Softpedia.
