Lightworks V2021.3 is now released.
Some of the new Features and Improvements are:
Browse and Import Media from Cloud Storage Providers
The Cloud is an important part of video production these days, whether it is backing up, or simply moving content about to make it more accessible on any device from any location. In Lightworks 2021.3 you can now add your favourite cloud storage provider directly to the list of ‘Library’ locations within a project. This makes editing content much faster and more accessible from anywhere. Once the cloud storage is added you can browse, play and import content directly from the cloud to your project for editing. Lightworks currently supports: Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive and pCloud
Upload Exports Directly To Cloud Storage Providers (Lightworks Pro Only)
In combination with browsing and import, we have made it even easier to get your created content back to your favourite cloud storage provider during the export process. Create your masterpiece, choose to export to the format of your choice (Lightworks Pro required) and select your cloud storage provider, it is that simple. Lightworks currently supports: Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive and pCloud.
New Startup Wizard and Improved Hints
This new panel appears for new users that have never run Lightworks before, this helps get acquainted with the application allowing users to set their preferred language, keyboard shortcut layout (those that are familiar with other applications) and even choose between Fixed and Flexible layout. The wizard also includes the sign in panel which has a better way of showing what licenses are active/inactive and includes a link to watching the ‘Quick Start Video’ (being updated to the latest version)
Creating your first new project in Lightworks can be a bit overwhelming so they have reworked the Hints that pop up to be much more visually appealing and appear relative to the area of the application they are referring to. There is even a new hint to ‘Take the tour’ giving a good overview of the project layout and how best to get started.
New Import Panel
The ‘Local files’ library has been given a much needed makeover to look and behave similar to Bins within the project. This allows you to choose how best to view your content prior to importing it, browse using the new treeview layout, filter content and see more metadata by choosing which column headers are visible within the library.
There is now a new website and portal: https://www.lwks.com/
Also, new lower prices.
For July only, Lightworks is giving away 500GB of completely FREE and perfectly integrated cloud storage that will instantly help with 1) Getting your footage into Lightworks 2) Sharing and collaborating on edits with colleagues and 3) Backing up your content.
The V2021.4 beta is expected to be released in August.
A recording of the webinar on Wednesday, where there's a demo of V2021.3 plus a presentation of the future plans for Lightworks is available on the website
