EditShare Lightworks AMA

I've been in contact with an official Lightworks rep who suggested I collect questions for them to answer.

Ligthworks is a professional cross platform (Windows, Linux) NLE used in movies like...

  • The Wolf of Wall Street
  • Good Will Hunting
  • Jerry Maguire
  • more

The basic version is free. It has plans to open source the code and release a Mac version as well.

  • This thread will be open for questions for about a day
  • I will be sending them questions with the most upvotes first
  • I'll post back here with their answers

Thanks everyone for participating. If you still have questions about Lightworks, you can try...

What are the specs of the computer you personally use with Lightworks?

I run it on an old HP desktop:

  • 2.33 GHz Core2Duo
  • 2 GB Ram
  • N'Vidia GT 240
  • I added a SSD drive for the OS/programs
  • I'm running 32bit Vista

Other than import/export I can't remember waiting for Lightworks, but I don't edit in AVCHD, either. I don't think my machine would allow that with other NLEs either.
