What do you like best about Lightworks?

I like how easy lightworks is to use. It is perfect for someone with little editing experience. With lightworks, I can easily upload film footage and edit it together. I was even able to navigate the advanced FX features with very little outside help. Lightworks enables you to upload your project directly to Vimeo or YouTube by simply associating your accounts through the lightworks application. You also have to freedom to work on a project in mixed frame rates, which is imperative if you are editing footage from multiple sources. Lightworks is the ideal free software package.

What do you dislike about Lightworks?

I dislike Lightwork's UI. It's unattractive and can at times be confusing. Lightworks can also be very prone to crashing if you attempt to do too many processes at once. For this reason, you are forced to move slowly and deliberately. The upside of this, however, is that lightworks regularly autosaves your work, so you don't have to worry about losing your progress to crash. Lightworks can also improve by better labeling its features, to make it even more friendly to the casual editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightworks solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used lightworks to edit together my acting reel. I have attracted the attention of industry professionals with my well edited reel. I even secured professional representation due to my acting reel. Using lightworks' easy to navigate editing log, I was able to finely synchronize small hand movements precisely to the beat of a sound track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
