digitallysane Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Lightworks, a high-end editing system which, as far as I know, was awarded by the Academy, goes open source: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODE1MQ http://www.editshare.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=208 I think this is huge, a good editor was really missing on Linux, and now it seems that one of the best is becoming free.

old school Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Agreed. They still have other hardware/software products that back-end Ligthworks. Their lost leader in. Good for the Linux community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Awesome stuff. Helps me forget about songbird leaving linux (ok not that I really cared much about that anyway.... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitallysane Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 After checking some brochures found on their old website (http://www.geebroadcast.co.uk/LWKS/lwks_product.htm) and some manuals found at some dealer's website (http://www.interlab-net.com/docs/lightworks/), the system seems to actually run on Windows. And checking their press release, it only says OpenSource (even if that means lots of Linux sites around the webz assumed that OS means "Linux"). So while I would 1. love the ability to have such a high-end solution for free, no matter the OS and 2. hope that OS either means linux or can mean linux in the future, for now I'm not at all sure about it.

Dragos That good news by I am afraid that turining to opensource will mean having a port in Linux or Mac. I don´t know the internals of this tool but if it has been always a product for Windows probably it needs some windows components/API, and this could be a serious problem to make a port to another platform. Let´s see.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
