What is the correct way of pronouncing the i in «short-lived»?
Particularly, I’m looking for whether it’s a short or long sound for this vowel. I’ve heard it both ways.

Both short and long i are acceptable. AHD gives the following usage note:
The pronunciation (-laɪvd) is etymologically correct since the compound is derived from the noun life, rather than from the verb live. But the pronunciation (-lɪvd) is by now so common that it cannot be considered an error. In the most recent survey 43 percent of the Usage Panel preferred (-lɪvd), 39 percent preferred (-laɪvd), and 18 percent found both pronunciations equally acceptable.
Wiktionary agrees with that usage. Other dictionaries (Wordnik, Dictionary.com) list both pronunciations without comment.
Personally, I almost always use the short i like in ‘give’.
(I’d give the two pronunciations slightly different connotations, something like short-i = it was around for a short time and it’s already dead/gone, long-i = it’s still around but won’t be for long.)

Evidence for the long I pronunciation is in Gilbert & Sullivan’s “Pirates of Penzance”:
To gain a brief advantage you’ve contrived,
But your proud triumph will not be long-lived
Since, as far as I know contrived was never pronounced with a short I. It was written over a hundred years ago and in song, but Gilbert was a clever rhymer and most of his work sounds like (fairly) normal speech apart from the invented words (like piratical).

Adding my $.02 after these many months:
I, for one, pronounce these expressions with a long i. My argument is that if something has a long life it is long-lived. The vocalization of the f sound to make it v doesn’t mean we need to consider the word to be derived from the verb «live»; instead it is from the noun life. We don’t use a short i when we we say a cat has nine lives, we use the long version.
Think of the parallel with knife. If someone is attacked with a sharp knife, you would say it was a «sharp-knived attack.» If a cat truly had nine lives, it would be nine-lived (long i).
That said, I’m sure the other usage will eventually rid the world of us «long-lived» (with a long i) speakers, since we are only long-lived and not immortal.

I checked a couple dictionaries which list both the long and short i as correct pronunciations. Anecdotally, I’ve typically heard the short i, and that’s how I pronounce it.

I favor the long i version based on the progression short life, short «lifed», short-lifed, short-lived (laivd). My original thought was to compare this with such compounds as even-handed, long-winded, etc., but having read the comments favoring short-lived with a short i I am more ready to accept the short i as a reasonable variation.

Geographic/cultural. Canadians/UK say lived with a short I. Americans, in general, say lived with a long i. I use it as one of the key words separating Americans from Canadians.

As further evidence in favor of the long-I pronunciation, I offer two points to show that «lived» is derived from the noun life rather than the verb (to) live.
First, the phrase is analogous to common phrases such as red-handed, pointy-eared, wide-eyed, long-winded and short-haired. These phrases may be seen as participial phrases where X + ed is derived from a noun phrase X, reanalyzed as a verb meaning «having X» used in its past participial form to function as an adjective. An example of this using a single noun rather than a noun phrase is a lidded pot. On the contrary, there is no analogous verb-derived construction. If someone has slept for a long time, we do not say that the person is *long-slept, nor do we form such a phrase with an adverb and say that a person who has walked for a short time is *shortly-walked.
Second, there is the question of the unvoiced f in life becoming v in long-lived. This happens frequently, as in half (noun) and halve (verb). It can also happen when a singular noun is pluralized, as in knife (singular) and knives (plural). It also happens with consonants other than f and v. Examples include s, where the difference is not usually reflected in spelling, as in house (noun, /haʊs/) and house (verb, /haʊz/). There are also other examples where this is accompanied by a change in the vowel, including bath (noun) and bathe (verb).

I am not yet convinced of the long-I version. And, incidentally, the argument that long-lived is related to life doesn’t wash for me. It may be related, but so is the simple word live, which has the long I as an adjective (as in «live bait» or a «live broadcast»), but short I as a verb («We all live in this house.»). If I live a long time, I am probably long-lived (short I).
The «knife» example doesn’t help either, as this word always sports a long I (knife/knives/knifed/knived).

«Short» is an adjective. Adjectives describe nouns, not verbs. Therefore, the «lived» in «short-lived» must be referring to the noun «life» as opposed to the verb «live.» If one were to pronounce the i in the short fashion, implying a verb instead of a noun, one ought to say «shortly-lived.» As far as any arguments concerning phrases such us «fall short,» or «rest easy,» I’ll say that just because a phrase is in common usage, that doesn’t make its grammar correct. On the other hand, language itself and its evolution certainly precede any official rule-making about what’s correct and what’s not, so one could argue that if a certain utterance is indeed in common usage, we ought to consider it an acceptable option. Of course, that would mean sanctioning such awful grammar as the over-corrected «and I» phenomenon, as in, «One of my students gave Adam and I a gift certificate to an amazing restaurant. We had the most amazing food. It was truly amazing.»
