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.

I'm very interesting testing LWKS. I came from FCP Studio, now on Davinci Resolve for years but always on the hunt for something that might be "better".

I did try a demo not long ago and liked the ultra customization with things like UI, menus etc, something no other NLE has done (except maybe clunky Media Composer) but found that how LWKS handles media especially importing is confusing and not intuitive.

I'll give it a go again and see if I can get my head around it. Always willing to try new things.

I don't know when last tested Lightworks, but there has been quite a few changes over the years.

It sounds like you used the classical Lightworks layout, which is now called the flexible layout. The default layout is the fixed layout, which can be customised to personal taste, but not on the fly as can be done with the flexible layout.

In Lightworks there's usually more than one way of doing things and the same applies to how you import media.

LWKS have released Lightworks V2025.1 (This was renamed from V2024.1 because of the late release) and is now available to download.


https://forum.lwks.com/threads/new-lightworks-release-version-2025-1-revision-148287-now-available-to-download.251982/


There as been a lot of under the hood changes to improve performance, expand the export options, adding further masking features and allowing the creation of your own custom effects, plus improvements to the user interface.


The existing NewBlue effects bundle will continue to work with V2025.1

There are regular updates with fixes, which can be found here: https://forum.lwks.com/forums/product-releases.19/
