The first version of Lightworks’ new stage was released last year for Windows. The software is no stranger in some audiovisual circles but from the moment EditShare acquire its previous owner, Gee Broadcast, in 2009, Lightworks started to enjoy a new life, mainly due to a strategy focused on developing a multi-platform software and making it available in two versions: a free version with some limitations, particularly in terms of file formats, and a full-featured paid version.

That program was Lightworks and even though its code remains property of EditShare, current owner of the editing platform, the company still plans on making Lightworks open source. However, five years ago, a long-time professional software was rumoured to be released as such.

The open source alternatives for non-linear video editing are not particularly diverse.
