-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.

-in one professional quality application.
+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.
+
+LiVES is good enough to be used as a VJ tool for professional
+performances, and as a video editor is capable of creating dazzling
+clips in a huge variety of formats.

+This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
+elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This
+may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read
+http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable
+capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
