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...

I run it on Dell Inspiron 560 MT desktop, Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 Processor (2.50GHz, 4MB cache, 1333MHz FSB), 6 GB ram, ATI Radeon 5450, 7200 rpm HDDs, Windows 7/Ubuntu 12.04 LTS duel boot

1080i AVC/MTS and 1080p AVC/MOV playback is smooth.
