live:cut v3.0 Getting Started
Starting with version 3.0 live:cut is completely integrated into just:in. There is no separate live:cut application anymore.
Before starting with live:cut it is recommended to read just:in mac v3.0 Getting Started. As soon as two or more Channels are connected to the just:in User Interface, a simple live:cut setup can be started.
