Features
All major operating systems
Whether you are running Windows, Linux or Mac OS X, the power of
Lightworks will be right at your fingertips. Now you can use your operating
system of choice without impacting on the work you need to get done. No other
editing software out there runs on all three platforms.
Unmatched format support
Lightworks has the widest native format support available in any
professional NLE. MXF, Quicktime and AVI containers, with almost every format
you can think of importing natively without the need for transcoding, from
ProRes, Avid DNxHD, AVC-Intra, DVCPRO HD, RED R3D, DPX, AVCHD (with AC3 audio),
H.264, XDCAM EX / HD 422, all on the same timeline in realtime. Check out the
detailed Tech Specs for a full list of supported formats.
Dedicated Web Export (MPEG4/H.264)
Share your movies with colleagues, friends and family with our
super-quick export to MPEG4/H.264. The video files produced are ready-made for
YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook and Instagram. You even have the option to upload
directly to your YouTube account in one easy step, so you have more time to
make a better movie!
Optimised for speed
Background Import, Rendering and Export. We believe that users should
be able to import, render or export without delay. Lightworks allows you to
continue editing whilst you are importing a batch of material, rendering your
complicated third party FX or exporting two files at the same time to your
favourite format. With time saving elements like this Lightworks might just be
the fastest editing application available.
World class Trimming for fast, precision editing
Lightworks sets the standards for trimming. Others have tried, but
none have got close to the simple, yet powerful trim functions that Lightworks
offers. Why make editing complicated and slow when it can be fast and
enjoyable? Once you’ve trimmed in Lightworks, you won’t look back.
Multicam Editing
Not everyone shoots with multiple cameras. But when you do, you need
the best tools to edit. Creating a group of synced clips straight from a bin
has never been easier. Sync it directly with your edit with the click of a
button and even generate an Auto Edit from the sync group saving you hours of
time. Need to change a clip within the edit, simply right click the clip and
choose another or cycle through the available choices with a shortcut key.
Multicam editing doesn’t get easier than this.
Powerful, realtime effects with inbuilt presets
Lightworks has a realtime GPU pipeline architecture, designed from the
ground up to deal with compositing and effects, such as primary and secondary
colour correction, blurs, mattes and masks including over 100 inbuilt effect
presets – completely independent of the source media. HD? 2K? 4K? No problem,
we’ll deal with it in real time. The faster your GPU, the faster your system.
Enhanced VFX with Boris FX
"Boris FX is an advanced level plug-in and application for all
kinds of editing fun. If you are thinking of making custom transitions, it has
you covered and then some." – Videomaker Magazine. This excellent FX
plugin works with Lightworks on both Windows 64bit and Mac OS X offering a
library browser with hundreds of preset animations, unlimited layers of media
with resolution independent non-destructive vector paint system and more!
Third Party Boris Graffiti Plugin Support
Enhance your next masterpiece with 2D & 3D Title Animations with
100s of Presets. This excellent title plugin works with Lightworks on both
Windows 64bit and Mac OS X giving excellent resolution independent vector text,
automated Rolls, Crawls, Fades, Zooms, True 3D Text with 3D Lighting,
Reflection, Bump Maps and more!
Built for Project Sharing and working in group environments
We believe we understand project sharing better than anyone. And with
Lightworks, we’ve taken it one step further than anyone else. This is true
realtime collaboration. Share media, bins and edits in realtime with full
control over which user has read / write access.
Customisable interface
Whether applying the predefined keyboard shortcuts to your liking
(AVID, FCP) or creating Macros to speed up your workflow, Lightworks allows
quick and easy configuration to suit your needs. Want to use Lightworks in your
native language? No problem, just apply one of the bundled language packs:
Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Indonesian, German, French, Bengali,
Czech, Turkish, Polish, Thai, Japanese or Chinese. You can even create your own
FX and Export Templates and add them to shortcut menus, or configure the
interface exactly how you like it (Colour, Scale etc).
Hardware I/O Support
To deliver high quality video you need to be assured that what you are
editing is suitable for your viewers and clients use. Lightworks supports
hardware from the three main manufacturers of I/O equipment: Blackmagic, AJA
and Matrox.
Unique Patented Console and Dedicated Keyboard
Since 1989, Lightworks has had a unique and Patented hardware Console
at the heart of its editing philosophy. Based around a flatbed film editor, the
console offers the most tactile and intuitive editing experience available.
There’s nothing else quite like it. It’s fast and it’s how the professionals
edit. Every film that has been edited with Lightworks has been cut with a
Lightworks console. And for those who fancy something different, we’ve
developed a dedicated keyboard with an ergonomically designed layout for
optimal use.
Note: The Lightworks Console requires an active Lightworks Pro license
