This brings Lightworks in line with most modern video editing software. Just title your project and you’re ready. Now, the project mirrors the format and frame-rate of the first clip added to the sequence.

In previous versions, you had to set the number of frames per second - something we thought “experienced users would have no problem choosing, but which might confuse more casual editors”. New projection creation has even been tweaked and simplified. A pop-up helper will also appear whenever you undertake an action for the first time, offering specific hints and advice. This is where you can set language, keyboard shortcuts, and layouts. The experience welcomes novice editors with a Startup Wizard. It’s quite efficient, too, with the tool offering four separate workspaces customized for specific workflows: Log, Edit, VFX, and Audio. Lightworks offers a fluid editing experience that we found straightforward and mostly similar to other NLEs. Premiere Pro's import window emphasizes media over project settings (Image credit: Future) Sequence Settings can be changed, but we felt “just getting right down to working with clips in their native format will be what people choose to do,” and the “removal of potentially unnecessarily complex tweaking is most welcome.”

Select clips, click Import, and they’re added to your sequence. There has also been a renewed focus on importing media, with a redesigned import window prioritizing clips. Built to tackle heavy workloads, clip after clip, track upon track, and to make that experience as logical and efficient as possible.
