Lightworks

description Overview

Lightworks is a professional-grade NLE with a long history in Hollywood (used on films like 'The Wolf of Wall Street'). It offers a robust free version with some export resolution limitations and a paid Pro version. It's renowned for its real-time effects, advanced multicam support, and incredibly precise trimming tools. Its unique interface has a steep learning curve.

It ranks as a decent but niche option for serious editors who want professional-grade tools for free (with limits) or a cost-effective Pro license, and are willing to master its non-standard workflow.
