LiVES mixes realtime video performance and non-linear editing in one professional quality application. It is designed to be simple to use, yet powerful. It is small in size, yet it has many advanced features. Using LiVES, you can 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.

SportsCameraOverlay is a command line facility to overlay GPS info on videos taken with a sports (helmet) camera. Currently tested and working with a Contour GPS and a Contour+2 camera. The GPS enabled line of contour cameras store the GPS (NMEA sentences) in the subtitles of the video file, so using this program with a GPS enabled contour camera simplifies things as there is no need to line up the starting points of the video and the GPS data. Can also be passed a file that contains GPS info and overlay this on any video. This way the program can be used for overlaying GPS info onto any brand of sports camera. Currently two overlay types are available, a "speedo" overlay and a "digital" (textual) overlay designed around snowsports. A few sample videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHWcOntLT5Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HelsKZeIRlM Note: This project is in its infancy and will only work on linux based operating systems without significant code changes.
