The Lightworks V14 beta has been released.

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...emid=81#128504

This allows the traditional flexibility of Lightworks, but also has a fixed interface option for newcomers and those who don't require or wish to use the full depth of screen arrangements that Lightwork allows.

"Version 14 of Lightworks introduces some incredible new features to the application. Primarily the new fixed layout interface and project browser. This new interface will suit those who prefer a more organised workspace and will help to ease the learning curve for newcomers. It can be enabled via the settings menu on the project-browser screen by changing the 'project layout' option."

Also other new features found in the link.

Note that Lightworks developers in the past have run a series of staged release of new features, so that they can work through any issues before adding more features to the new version.

There is a quick guide video available showing the new fixed layout option,

An article on the V14 beta, which gives more details;:

RedShark News - Big Lightworks news: Version 14 public beta is released with a new User Interface

I suspect that you'd want to edit a feature film or long form production on the traditional or what is now termed flexible layout, rather than the new fixed layout. This gives the editor a choice depending what they're dong and many people putting together their YouTube video won't need the full depth that the flexible layout offers. There has been changes to the old timeline to bring in elements of the new UI timeline, but many things are optional, so you can set these to your own taste..

There has been new code written for V14, so users are going though it, checking for bugs, requests for changes etc in the beta, with many of these are being addressed within hours

The latest :Lightworks V14 beta build is now available.

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...9449&Itemid=81

This build has a number of fixes for bugs and issues in the first released beta, while others are under investigation.

From past experience, these beta new builds tend to come out roughly once a week.

This article suggests a possible mid January date for the final release build.

The third V14 beta build is now available for testing.

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...0602&Itemid=81

There are more fixes and changes based on beta tester feedback.

So far, the reaction to the new fixed UI has been positive, the user selecting either this or the traditional flexible UI from the project browser page.

Brian Drysdale · January 5th, 2017, 11:09 AM

The 4th v14 beta is now available (now updated - see below)

This latest beta version includes a simpler way for users to backup their project and introduces improvements to licensing, such as allowing first time users to start the application and get straight into it without first having to register and verify an account. A Free license will automatically be added to the users system and will count down the seven days until they are required to register an account with Editshare.

It also includes fixes and other changes following tester feedback.

EDIT There's a new V14 beta. which should be used instead, this, resolves the issue with clip thumbnails in the previous Beta (91222)

The latest V14 beta is now available.

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...3915&Itemid=81

This latest build has many improvements including the addition of a new RGB scope. Lightworks have been trying to transition to the latest MainConcept SDKs but new issues have prevented this from happening (hence the delay in issuing this latest Beta) The latest SDK continues to be tested but is not included in this build.

There are more fixes and changes based on the testers' feedback.

Brian Drysdale · January 30th, 2017, 11:24 AM

Another V14 beta update is available.

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...emid=81#134967

Due to issues still present with the latest MainConcept SDK this will no longer be included in the initial version 14.0 release, which has been scheduled for February

There are more fixes based on the feedback.

Brian Drysdale · February 3rd, 2017, 10:37 AM

Another build of the V14 beta.

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...5321&Itemid=81

This new build rectifies regression issues that creep into the previous build, Lightworks are hoping that V14 can be released next week.

There is a range of fixes and a number of minor additions.

Brian Drysdale · February 10th, 2017, 08:01 AM

What is hoped to be the final V14 beta build before release is now available:

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...emid=81#136112

This has more fixes based on the feedback and some minor additions.

Brian Drysdale · February 17th, 2017, 09:39 AM

Seeming to be building up to a release with this latest V14 beta. The release dates drifting has happened with previous versions, so not surprising.

https://www.lwks.com/index.php?optio...6881&Itemid=81

According to Lightworks:

"This latest build resolves the startup failure on Mac OS X 10.9, restores RED R3D support back to the Linux version and the Quicktime Movie export in the Windows 32bit build. Thank you to all those of you still testing these latest builds and reporting feedback, we believe version 14.0 is looking good, there will of course be some minor issues reported that will remain come the release date, these will be addressed in subsequent maintenance releases."

Brian Drysdale · February 24th, 2017, 10:35 AM

The V14 beta now has the first release candidate moving closer to the official release.
