I do think that Mac and Linux versions are coming, and I do think that EditShare has the stuff to make this all come together. So don't think this ride will be without some bumps and some cost. It also looks like (I just got the software and I'm exploring) to do the advanced stuff you need 'extras', many of which will cost money. If you try this stuff you probably should not expect production quality or enough stability for paying projects. While this has roots in some really good stuff, this version is still in 'public beta', meaning there will be issues. This software supports resolutions to 2K (think RED) and has unlimited tracks and multicamera support and collaboration. This software is used by industry notables like Thelma Schoonmaker and Martin Scorcese. This software has cut movies like Pulp Fiction, The Departed, Centurion and Shutter Island. This software has won both Academy and Emmy awards. It has been bought and sold several times, and finally wound up purchased by EditShare in Boston.ĮditShare have released a re-coded public beta for Windows machines open source and free!įor starters the pedigree. Through nearly 20 years of software changes it has competed against the very best video editing software out there, including the high-end Avid systems. Lightworks was created as a high-end video editing suite, priced way beyond anything I could afford.
