Academy® and Emmy® award-winning Lightworks was introduced in 1989 as the
first and most advanced non-linear editing system on the market. Used by
editors such as Chris Gill and multi Oscar-winning Thelma Schoonmaker,
Lightworks offers intuitive controls, advanced real time effects, 2K native
support with DPX or RED, and multi-camera editing features that remain
unmatched. With wide support for codecs, including EditShare’s Universal Media

Lightworks artists to collaboratively edit projects with a much wider group of
editors.
