Lightworks Open Source

The internal database is designed, that even at extremely large projects, a fast and safe working. For use in the working groups, such as in TV stations are network solutions that make it possible to simultaneously image and sounds, styles and effects by several editing suites from access - these collaborative capabilities but are not open source.

To Cutter, not the Lightworks used to enable fast efficient work, the keyboard layout as with the widely used software of "Avid" and "FCP", as required.
Very successful cutter, as Thelma Schoonmaker, who won with Lightworks the Oscar for Best Editing and many cut of Martin Scorsese's films, or Chris Gill, whose average work includes "28 Weeks Later" faces ever publicly challenged the benefits to which it relates have moved using Lightworks.

Following the announcement in April 2010, the basic program as Lightworks Open Source to publish, it was about the implications of this in the TV and film industry, many discussions. In particular it was unclear how the owner EditShare access modules for foreign producers formats (such as from RED or Sony could offer) as open source. In September 2010 it was made clear: Lightworks itself will be free of formats including but open source, but bought by the manufacturer for assistance in the form of proprietary formats should be offered on an electronic marketplace.

Furthermore, the manufacturer announced at EditShare, the stereoscopic 3D function, and the networking of research groups working simultaneously on the same project to offer a fee-only proprietary extensions.

About one of EditShare offered, although not exclusive, but the central market place, not only the proprietary access modules for third-party file formats, 3D and networking skills to be sold, but also future proprietary third-party extensions. [4] EditShare here retains an interest, a commission , but also in exchange for the complete accounting and distribution, which will enable smaller, financially weaker and not internationally established vendors and developers the ability to distribute larger quantities of international clientele.

In addition to selling proprietary extensions is how the managing owner of the company EditShare, Andy Liebman, also a further opportunity to earn money is to sell hardware controller. In a web video interview with film-tv-video.de he spoke for more detail.
