After a long beta Lightworks V14.5 is now released.

 

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=19&id=186289&Itemid=81

 

Apart from many bug fixes, headline features are:

 

Support of variable frame rate files (.mov .mp4, .m4v) - this appears to be pretty robust, unless the supposed target frame rate recorded is a non standard one e.g 20.333 fps. A wide range of phone and games capture videos are working with this, without needing conversion before import.

 

New GPU precision options

Histogram Graph to the Video Tools panel

Export option to Reaper (Lightworks Pro only)

Support for handling .MOD and .TOD files

Ability to adjust RED R3D RAW metadata parameters (.rmd)

Added support for media structures:

Support for Fusion 9 on Mac

Support for decode/encode of Cineform codecs

Voice Over and Mackie MIDI support for Linux users

Ability to acknowledge project wide LUT setting on export

Ability to set a Ranged Cue Marker (Start and End point)


Further details can be found here: https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=270&Itemid=270

 

With the launch of V14,5 there is a Promo for a free Lightworks ShuttlePRO V2 with every Outright license purchase.

The next Beta of version 2020.1 (nee V14.6) Revision 118776 on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X is now available to download.

This is the first build with the new version number (14.6->2020.1) and one of the biggest changes is the minimum requirement for .deb installs now being 18.04 and the minimum for .rpm being Fedora 30. We are aiming for a release now before the end of this year and believe this latest version resolves a lot a of the previous showstoppers reported.

This has added the ability to choose All/Selected tracks when making a copy of a sequence, more information to the import panel when encountering unsupported formats, the ability to highlight/recolour clips on the timeline, scroll bar to the Effects transition selection box, ability to specify custom metadata mapping .Export/Render option of 50/59.97 for UHD Cineform, hyperlink to upload location for YouTube videos for easy access to uploaded videos.
