Brian Drysdale Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Another beta version is available: http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=19&id=58705&Itemid=81A few key changes: this latest Beta version opens up file import in the Free version to allow every file format (except AVID DNxHD) to import instantly and natively into the application.They have also removed the licensing restriction on the real-time titling effect. Free users can now apply the real-time titling effect along with all the new titling presets included in 11.5.However, EditShare pays a licensing fee in order to use all the majority of codecs, so although import has been opened up, it does mean that export and rendering has been limited in the Free version.

Brian Drysdale Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 This update has been given in the Lightworks forum: "The Mac version will be ready for Alpha testing very soon after the release of 11.5 on Windows and Linux.".If anyone is interested in Alpha testing Lightworks on Mac, they should keep a close eye on the Lightworks Forum. The call for Linux Alpha testers was only up for a very short time. Currently, 11.5 is being released on Wed 29th Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Edirshare have released 11.5, the latest version of Lightworks that can be used on Windows or Linux. There have been a number of changes in what has been described as half way to Version 12, these include:Support for AJA I/O devices (Kona and Io XT) (Windows, Pro version only)Import, Render and Export as background tasksYouTube export option including direct uploadAC3 audio decode support removing the need for third party decodersFully customisable user interfaceSmarter menus with fast access Export and FX favouritesPowerful new Multicam improvementsPlayback controls added to source and edit viewerThe difference between Free and Pro now is that the Pro version has a much wider range of output options, whereas the Free version is limited to web formats (ie MPEG4/H.264), at up to 720p. The Free version now allows the import of all professional and consumer video formats natively, previously this often involved transcoding.There is a new pricing structure:Monthly subscription $7.99 | 5.99€ | £4.99Annual subscription $79.99 | 59.99€ | £49.99Buy Version Outright $279.99 | 214.99€ | 179.99This will be of interest to users who don't like the subscription model and want to own their software outright.It's worth noting that current version 11 free users should consider their export requirements before upgrading. They won't have the exports that they currently have. This has been a trade off because Lightworks say that many new users run into difficulties because of the transcoding currently required. However, by taking out a monthly subscription for the Pro version you can then export your project(s) using that version's full export codecs .New Lightworks Release 11.5 Now Available To DownloadOverviewI imagine that beta testing on Version 12 will start in the near future and Alpha testing on the Mac version is promised very soon.
