Lightworks Mac Public Beta
-
Since one of the former Apple FCP engineers is now in charge of Resolve editing features and Resolve looks far more like FCP 8 than Lightworks and it’s basically FREE, I’m thinking another name may be more a propos?

That’s where I got my start as well. August 1993. We had the first one in GA if I remember correctly. Why can’t somebody bring back the work area below the timeline? Such an incredibly useful concept that I was blown away when I found out Media 100 didn’t have it. Or Avid. Or anyone since.

Tru dat. I guess the browser and smart collections sorta serve that function now. But I’m with you. I really liked the work area.

Which name?

[Lance Bachelder] “my money is on Resolve. I think it will become the NLE of choice for a LOT of folks in the very near future.”
I think a lot of folks may use it, but I also think that, despite some really great features, it’s gonna take a while to mature into something that works as seamlessly as any of the “major” NLE’s. Looking forward to playing with Lightworks though. 🙂

‘Bout time. They first announced the Mac version nearly two years ago, right?

[Lance Bachelder] “More Oscar and BAFTA winning shows than any NLE next to Avid.”
Lovely. Was hoping for a link to the last project you edited in Lightworks.

Based on the retro Mac wallpaper in the image above, I’d say six…

Interested in Lightworks myself but because I planning on shooting in RAW with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, most likely going to use Resolve 11, when it gets here. I am not tossing FCP X aside anytime soon, in fact it will be my go to NLE of choice for most things. Might even use it as a finishing tool, after all the integration with Motion is a huge benefit for some projects. Just hoping Red Giant Universe will be supported in Resolve, but not likely to happen anytime soon.
By the way, is there a subscription plan to Lightworks? For some reason, I just want to spend money on a monthly basis. Perhaps the subscription bug has bit me. 🙂

What was the work area like?
