Re: [Avid-L2] Anyone digging into just-released Lightworks Mac Public Beta?

 

It's fine. The  v12 media interface is much better than 11.5/11.  It's great for editing single cam shows. Multicam is way different than what you're used to and will probably make you a little angry at first.  All effects are GPU accelerated realtime.  I've applied about 10 effects to a single clip and it played fine on my 3 year old gaming rig.  The beta has a ton of features turned off right now so you probably don't want to use it in production.

I'd rather be editing and filming and enjoying life than spend x amount of time learning another programme that a) might be buggy and/or problematic and/or not as good (for me) as FCP X and b) _might_ save me a bit of time but less than the time I spent learning it.
