Review on Lightworks by Buddy Colbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best option in comparison (for beginners)

It's very fast, easy to use. And it supports all kinds of project formats.It can be used for almost every kind of video editing job. Sometimes you have to set some parameters manually which may be annoying especially if you are working on tight schedule. As most other NLEs there are still a lot of options that could be more userfriendly. If you don't know how to do something with another NLE then it will take longer than with a product like this to figure out how things work. I have been using Lightworks from 2 years now and it works perfectly. Mostly Lightworks allows me to make videos that would be impossible or quite complicated/expensive without its help. It's very easy to use! I've been editing weddings using this for several years now. Sometimes there are things not working correctly but it does usually correct itself after restarting or rebooting. Very useful for quick edits and simple projects like weddings/school videos etc. This would be great if you're looking at getting into non linear editing for work with clients who want an easy interface instead of paying out more money for Adobe Premiere Pro which can cost thousands.
