Hi John,
yeah, that is actually on the TODO list as well:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2951639&group_id=64341&atid=507142

However, it's not so easy to implement - it might even require a whole new
edit mode. Note there *is* a pause, if you press ctrl-backspace it will
pause the video, and if you have the preference Audio follows video rate
and direction, it will also pause audio. You can also (as of the next
version) use jack transport (e.g. qjackctl) to control playback (pause,
rewind, fast forward, etc).

That would be a good feature. I implemented it the way it is because that
is the way mplayer works, but I guess LiVES could peek at the framerate
and then work out the number of frames from the time. I will add this to
the planned features.

You mean the realtime effects when applied like rendered effects ?
OK, that is a good idea.

You can use them like any other realtime effects (or in multitrack mode).

I am not sure what you mean by this - there are various effects which are
triggered by motion - e.g. alien overlay or blurzoom. Can you explain a
bit more ?

Cool !
