EditShare is proud to announce the release of Lightworks 11.5, its popular cross-platform editing software, which now includes some major changes to the Pro and Free versions.
The new release features some major updates to the user interface, which greatly improve the editing experience, a smarter right-click menu populated with your favourite pre-sets and FX plus greater control for playback. And now, thanks to new background tasks, editors can continue to work whilst importing, rendering and even exporting.
Completing the line-up of major new features is the inclusion of AJA hardware support, allowing Lightworks to recognise the AJA ioXT or Kona cards on the Windows and, soon to be released, Mac OS X platform.
Lightworks was used to edit Martin Scorseses Oscar -nominated blockbuster The Wolf of Wall Street clearly demonstrating the results users can achieve with Lightworks powerful editing engine. Now version 11.5 will be available to download on both Windows and Linux from January 30, 2014, marking a further improvement to this increasingly popular non-linear editor.
This is such an exciting release for Lightworks, said Matt Sandford, Lightworks worldwide product manager.Over the last couple of years, we have been busy making the application cross-platform, which meant the user interface has not had many updates. But now that this work is almost complete, it has allowed us to make Lightworks even more intuitive and easier to use.
This will also be the first time in Lightworks history that a version will be available across two different platforms (Windows and Linux). The Linux community has been very excited about Lightworks and we are proud to be releasing such a professional and powerful editing tool to their community.
The new free version now allows users to import all professional and consumer video formats natively on its timeline, offering the exact same editing functionality as the professional version. However, the professional version gives editors a far wider choice of output formats, while the free version is restricted to web publication, YouTube and Facebook being good examples.
Lightworks 11.5 is accompanied by a new pricing structure, as Lightworks Global Sales Manager Robbie Fleming explains: The free version offers a great introduction to Lightworks by allowing users to get to grips with the software and still output to a distributable format we all use and watch every day. We have always promised to provide a powerful editor free-of-charge, but also to provide an affordable, commercial product to edit and output content to professional-standard broadcast and camera formats.
Now users will be able to buy the professional version for just $7.99 a month that enables output to professional standard formats. We have added more ways to buy Lightworks as we understand that people now want a choice on how they pay for software, which is why weve introduced monthly and annual subscriptions along with the ability to purchase the software for a one-off fee.
The New Pricing Structure Is:
Monthly subscription $7.99 | 5.99 | £4.99
Annual subscription $79.99 | 59.99 | £49.99
Buy Version Outright $279.99 | 214.99 | £179.99
As with previous software updates, the new release has given the Lightworks team an opportunity to improve functionality too.
Updates to Lightworks 11.5 Include:
Free version now limited to MPEG4/H264 @ 720P output only for web/distribution use
Added support for AJA I/O devices (Kona and Io XT) drivers 10.4.1 and higher required (Windows, Pro version only)
