This the second major release under the new owners LWKS Software LTD and they are also revealing the features in the 2021.3 Beta in the next couple of weeks.
Apart from many fixes. new features in V2021.2 include:
This release focuses on improvements in performance working with HEVC/H.265 media allowing you to create 1080p proxies from 4K media
Sequence Export Improvements
This latest release adds intelligence to the export panel allowing you to easily see what format option your sequence can be exported as, even allowing you to export if the exact sequence frame rate is not allowed/supported.
Transition Appearance Improvements
Lightworks now provides a clear indication that the incoming clip does not have enough media present to perform the transition (the red line and darker grey section) This indicates that playback will be incorrect over this section, giving you a clear warning that the effect needs adjustment.
Subtitle Workflow
Using a combination of ranged Cue Markers and BITC (Burnt in Timecode) functionality now performs a subtitle workflow
Find: Clip References Improvements
In Lightworks 2021.2 the ‘Jump to’ options have been restored and new search criteria has been added to make it even easier to find or create results based on these new options:
Set Default Frame Rate On Import
Lightworks 2021.2 allows you to set the default frame rate for any media that doesn’t have a frame rate (audio only files, EDLs, Image Sequences etc).
Improved the Batch Metadata panel
Flexibility has been extended even further to allow you to specify the name of another metadata field to copy text from (eg. ) within the ‘Value’ column. This is an extremely fast way of moving metadata between fields in huge chunks.
