The long-standing editing program, Lightworks, continues to be developed and, before the end of the year, introduces new features in its main version, Lightworks 2025.1. These include an overhauled video playback engine, export improvements, effect enhancements, Linux Snap and Flatpak installers, and user interface upgrades. ;) Lightworks 2025.1 with a new video playback engine and effect improvements
Here are the newly added features in detail: - Updated Video Engine to improve overall performance across all platforms - Custom Format Creation up to UHD 8K (Lightworks Pro only) - Built-in UltraHD Formats for 5K, 6K, and 8K on the timeline and export (Apple ProRes, Cineform, AVID DNxHR, AV1, H.265, and uncompressed) - Improvements for Multiple Masks - Click and drag to create a bounding box around multiple shapes - Add/remove selections within groups with shift-click inside a shape - Move selected shapes by clicking and dragging within the bounding box - Cancel multi-selection mode by clicking outside the bounding box - Copy and paste selected shapes with CTRL/CMD+C and CTRL/CMD+V - Cut and paste selected shapes with CTRL/CMD+X and CTRL/CMD+V - Ability to delete selected shapes - New ‘Help’ Menu in the Project Browser - Easy access to video tutorials, quick start guides, and keyboard shortcuts - Access to documentation, knowledge base, and FAQs - Access to the forum, comparison charts, and the bug report form - New Playback Controls for Clip Tiles - Play, frame forward/backward, mark in/out, delete, cue marker, replace, insert - New Mouse Wheel Option in Timeline Settings - Choice between ‘Nudge frame’ or ‘Next/Previous event’ - Temporarily switch by holding shift while using the mouse wheel - New ‘Routing’ Subtab in the Media Tab of the Project Card - Select individual media destinations for imported, rendered, recorded clips, and proxies - Separate media destinations for each media category - Improvements for BITC (Burnt-In Timecode) - Option to add an indicator (e.g., V1, V2, A1) at the start of each track - Support for AVID DNxHR files, Y4M files, and AVID DNxHR MXF and MOV media (Lightworks Pro only) - Improved support for Apple ProRes and uncompressed formats, new effects, and support for HEIC images Having had a storied past, including usage in some Hollywood projects (such as *Pulp Fiction*, *The King’s Speech*, *The Wolf of Wall Street*, and *The Irishman*), Lightworks now faces challenges in keeping up with feature-heavy software like DaVinci Resolve. Lightworks is still available in a free version, although it limits exports to a maximum resolution of 720p. Higher resolutions, up to 4K, are only available starting at €12.99/month. The full feature set is available from €25.49/month. A good overview of the features of the different versions can be found at  here. For those who appreciate the Lightworks workflow, these prices may be well worth it. And for those interested in exploring the workflow, the free version should be sufficient. Tutorials can also be found on the website. Lightworks runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, though some Linux functionalities may be limited due to third-party restrictions.  more infos at bei www.redsharknews.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Lightworks 2025.1 mit überarbeiteter Video-Wiedergabe-Engine und Effekt-Verbesserungen |
