Each provides its own unique set of tools and options. It’s here that you create a new project, or open one you’ve already started.įour tabs at the top of the main window provide access to LWKS’ main workspaces: Log, Edit, VFX and Audio. The software opens to a clean interface with a project browser - a grid of tiles that holds your projects. It’s a non-intrusive process that only requires a name and a password.

Installation is quick and easy, although you need to register to activate Lightworks. What's more, those experienced with non-linear video editing will find plenty of advanced features to produce a polished video, even in the free version reviewed here. But don't go thinking that long list of award-winning film credits means it's for professionals only: the free version of Lightworks is generally consumer friendly and will be more than enough for most basic editing tasks. The software has a strong heritage in filmmaking, with Pulp Fiction, Jerry Maguire and The Wolf of Wall Street just a few of the many movies that have been edited on it.
