Install LiVEs video editor on Ubuntu, via PPA. Install LiVEs video editor 2.4.2 on Ubuntu 15.04 and Ubuntu 14.04. LiVES is an open source video editor and a VJ tool.
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.
The LiVEs video editor application can be controlled remotely or scripted for use as a video server. It has the ability to edit many filetypes and sources including remotely located files (with mplayer/ffmpeg libraries), and encode to any of the 50+ output formats . It also enables real time capture/recording of interactive (via mouseclicks) external windows.
