Akhilesh_T reviewed LightworksI have edited so many videos on this software and love it. There is a slight learning curve, but once you master a few features and shortcuts, you'll edit videos quickly. The free version limits the export to 720p.- Akhilesh_T liked Lightworks
You have to get into the groove of the program, but once you're there, it's great. I just wish video stability wasn't behind a paywall.

• need user account to use it
• No user friendly,Cumbersome UI.
• Imports only some clips since does not manage different frame rates in one project.
• Frequent locks.
• Difficult zooming and syncro video/audio.
Playback not working with xvid coded clips (XVID!)
Difficult to use UI. I lost my work twice, because this app doesn't save files correctly (all my exports became "Media offline"); it even lost its own sequences (important project parts).
Free version doesn't allow you to render video in 1080p. I can understand paywall blocking some features, but exports? No sir, that is over the top bullshit.
Manuals also available only as Youtube videos, which i consider a bad thing, because i read and look for necessary parts faster than i can navigate through their videos.
I barely managed to get my work done with that thing, so I will not recommend it to anyone.
The only positive things i found is that it works on Debian 10 Stable and it autosaves your project (if you are too lazy to click "Save" in your editor of choice).

**app is great but it's still laser-focused for TV and cinema production - you cannot even render vertical video or use nonstandard fps. **
$400 for a perpetual license also doesn't sweeten the deal.
I do love it's unique UI - it really speeds up editing when you get the hand of it - but most features are already decently implemented in other NLEs. I tend to customise other editors to somewhat mimick Lightworks way of doing things.
You can go to Shotcut (free and fast) and Premiere for subclips that also works.
Useless garbage made by people who clearly should not make a video editor. Free version is shit, the """stable""" version doesn't even open, and as for the pro, it's asking for prices HIGHER THAN FUCKING VEGAS PRO 15.
Don't use this. If you do you're obviously the de-evolution of the human race. Using shit software supports shit software, and is why no human being has made an actually usable video editor for linux.
Awful.
