Because Lightworks is now available on all three platforms, including Linux, Edit Share wanted to create a process where it could push updates to all operating systems simultaneously. And since it’s based on the same Unix kernel, it’s likely to be a hell of lot more stable than competiting NLEs at this stage.Īnd what Edit Share has done is truly revolutionary here. But as I mentioned before, Lightworks for PC was in Beta for over a decade and used on many film you have no doubt seen. It’s important to understand that because this is a free public Beta, that users seeking to use the Pro Version of Lightworks for Mac will be dealing with some issues and bugs that are bound to shake out. In Alpha for nearly a year, EditShare took feedback from select professionals in order to get it to the point where a public beta would take Lightworks to the next level. And true to their word, it’s here and available for download. And after nearly a decade, it finally came out of Beta for the PC and it left Mac fans asking, when will they get a chance at it? That day has finally arrived.Ī few months ago, EditShare, the company which bought Lightworks and has managed to make it both profitable and still free (EditShare charges for support and additional pro features), announced that a free public Beta of the Mac version of Lightworks would be coming by this month.
Because Lightworks has been available for download on PCs all through its development and has been used on such Academy Award winning films ranging from Quentin Tarantino‘s Pulp Fiction to The King’s Speech and even Hugo, IIRC. It’s difficult to find a solid non-linear editor that’s open source and free. Open Source NLE in development for over a decade
