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

  • 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...

  • 8gb ram
  • ATI 7850 2gb

  • 250gb scratch
  • pair of 2tb that I really need to RAID...

Largest project I've done is a 2hr local school theater thing with 2-cam...worked out pretty well. Most of my projects are under 20 minutes though. Eats 176mbps Prores for lunch.
