Brian Drysdale Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) The Lightworks V14 beta has been released. https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=19&id=128504&Itemid=81#128504 This allows the traditional flexibility of Lightworks, but also has a fixed interface option for newcomers and those who don't require or wish to use the full depth of screen arrangements that Lightwork allows. "Version 14 of Lightworks introduces some incredible new features to the application. Primarily the new fixed layout interface and project browser. This new interface will suit those who prefer a more organised workspace and will help to ease the learning curve for newcomers. It can be enabled via the settings menu on the project-browser screen by changing the 'project layout' option." Also other new features found in the link. There is a quick guide video available showing the new fixed layout option, Edited November 29, 2016 by Brian Drysdale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted November 29, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted November 29, 2016 I'm starting to hate Premiere with the fire of a thousand suns. Is there a decent roundtrip to Resolve from Lightworks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yes, a number of users have that workflow. They edit in Lightworks, then use Resolve for colour correction. http://www.redsharknews.com/post/item/2265-how-to-build-a-system-to-run-resolve-on-a-shoestring Craig Marshall and others discuss it on the Lightworks Forum. Currently there's a Black Friday discount for a one month subscription (this only lasts a month unless you renew, then Lightworks reverts to the Free Version, which has limited exports to YouTube and Vimeo, but you can still import and edit pretty much the same as the Pro Version. Handy if you only need to export with full quality occasionally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Note that the Lightworks developers in the past have run a series of staged releases of new features, so that they can work through any issues before adding more features to the new version, If it's anything like past, .I suspect there's more to come, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 An article on the V14 beta, which gives more details;: RedShark News - Big Lightworks news: Version 14 public beta is released with a new User Interface I suspect that you'd want to edit a feature film or long form production on the traditional or what is now termed flexible layout rather, than the new fixed layout. This gives the editor a choice depending what they're dong and many people putting together their YouTube video won't need the full depth that the flexible layout offers.. There has been new code written for V14, so users are going though it, checking for bugs etc in the beta.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Drysdale Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Seeming to be building up to a release with this latest V14 beta.

Thank you to all those of you still testing these latest builds and reporting feedback, we believe version 14.0 is looking good, there will of course be some minor issues reported that will remain come the release date, these will be addressed in subsequent maintenance releases."

Brian Drysdale Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Lightworks Version 14 is now released. The unique feature is the choice of two types of interface: the new fixed one and the flexible layout which is the classical one with a few changes. It runs on PC, Mac and Linux. The fixed layout, which based on the one used in Flow Story, has tabs, which creates workspaces for different stages of the edit - log, edit vfx and audio. Newcomers should find this an easier introduction yo editing and is suitable for those editing short form, fast turnaround productions, The flexible layout is aimed at the long form productions and has a history in feature film post production. Users should keep an eye out for changes especially around the timeline (now called sequence, rather than edit). You can edit using various methods, including drag and drop, keyboard, onscreen icon controls and controllers New Lightworks features include.
