As reported back in April, EditShare announced that the Lightworks video editing software was to be made available as open source. A public beta of the software has been released and is now available for download.
Lightworks is an Academy and Emmy award winning software that has been used to cut hundreds of films such as Pulp Fiction, The Departed, Centurion and Shutter Island. It includes a full feature set of editorial tools, from advanced trimming and media management, through to stereoscopic support and realtime effects including multiple secondary color correctors. Lightworks uses the power of your GPU, and supports 2K workflows with realtime effects.
