It was something we highlighted in our review, noting that "Lightworks is a great free video editor with numerous tools to satisfy most casual video editors, although if you want more advanced features, you’ll need to pay for the privilege." The Free option offers you the same interface, but has a more limited selection of tools.
Go to their website, and you’ll see how proud they are of the numerous professional feature films that have been cut with it.īut this is with the Pro version. Lightworks is one of the best free video editing software - and it comes with a bit of a pedigree. But if you’re serious about video editing, you should most definitely take this software out for a spin. So what’s stopping everybody from using it? Well, it’s a very complex piece of software which could potentially intimidate newcomers to this profession. The software even includes its own VFX software, Fusion - one of the best Adobe After Effects alternatives for designers. You can also get the more powerful Resolve Studio for a fee - $295 for a perpetual licence, with all future upgrades free from then on. But if you’re serious about video editing, this shouldn’t overwhelm you."
The only downside is so much power leads to a complex interface.
It puts a lot of competing software to shame. You can download it for Mac, Linux or Windows, and you’ll owe Blackmagic nothing.Įarning 4.5 stars in our review, we hailed the video editor best for pros and those serious about editing as "incredibly powerful, it’s updated regularly, and to top it all, it’s free. Not only for the vast number of features it comes with, from high end video editing capabilities, to a powerful node-based special effects system, extensive colour correction features, and professional-level audio tools, but the whole thing is available for free.

The pro version allows you to export to more than just Youtube and enables all of the third party proprietary codecs. You can also pay a one-time fee of £179.99/$279.99 for that version (with free minor updates). Lastly you really can’t beat the price of the pro version at £49.99/$79.99 a year or just £4.99/$7.99 a month. It’s coming together, but it looks like it’ll be next year at this point. The Mac version of #Lightworks won’t ship this month. If you’re still waiting for the Mac version, well you’ll just have to keep waiting. You can also watch these short walk through tutorials. There are a huge number of new features added to the free and paid for versions of the program, which is easily powerful, and capable enough, of rivalling all the other major NLEs.įor a full list of what’s new in 11.5 you can download this pdf or you can read a quick summary over on the official Lightworks site.
