Lightworks

Advanced Editing Software... Free for Everyone

Academy® and Emmy® award-winning Lightworks was introduced in 1989 as the first and most advanced non-linear editing system on the market and quickly gained fame thanks to editors such as Chris Gill and multi Oscar-winning Thelma Schoonmaker.

Lightworks’ intuitive controls make it fast and creative to use and its advanced real-time effects, 2K native support with DPX or RED and multi-camera editing features remain unmatched today. Wide codec support including ProRes, DNxHD and Universal Media Files and seamless media sharing with Avid and Final Cut Pro editors achieves a level of unsurpassed interoperability and enables Lightworks artists to collaboratively edit projects with a much wider group of editors.
