There's currently no news on the 64 bit version of Lightworks

32 bit will function on 64 bit machines, though, right ?

Brian Drysdale · October 21st, 2012, 04:22 PM

Yes, it runs fine on mine. It'll run on Windows XP Professional SP3, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit).

I gather that the V11.1 Beta will be 32bit and 64 bit

For people wanting to use or try out Lightworks Free, the Eyeframe converter seems to be the current tool of choice by a number of people for translating files into a format that can be used on the Free version. It's written by a member of the Lightworks forum. Links and a video tutorial can be found on the Lightworks forum in the thread on Eyeframe.

Other options are DSLR Post Prep, Handbrake, GoPro Cineform Studio Free.

Also, although not officially supported, people are managing to install on Windows 8. However, currently this does involve a workaround to manually install HASP downloaded from Sentinel.

Brian Drysdale · October 29th, 2012, 07:48 AM

An update on Windows 8 is that it will be supported in Lightworks V11.1 with the latest HASP drivers and this is to be released in Beta shortly.

The next version of Lightworks 11.1 is now available as a Public Beta (11.1.c) for Windows. Anyone wanting to test it can find a link in their forum announcements page to join the Beta testing program. New Lightworks Version 11.1.c Now Available as Public Beta

A number of the new features require the Pro Version of Lightworks, although there are also improvements to the free version.

Note this version supports Windows 8

Since this now seems to be getting lost amongst the threads on the Lightworks Forum: EyeFrame - easy convert video to and from Lightworks

There is a new beta available for testing: 11.1d

The 64 bit version is only available to Pro users (as against the Free version).

Of interest to people wanting to trial Lightworks is that "MP4/AVCHD (MTS/M2TS) media to be imported into the Free version as transcode only"

Brian Drysdale · January 8th, 2013, 03:23 AM

There is an updated unofficial "Hints and Tips" pdf for V11. It's not yet on the Lightworks downloads page, but can be found in the first message.

A "Hints and Tips" unofficial PDF in progress

You need to use this in combination with either the Quick Start or the full User Guide.

I gather there is a book on using Lightworks being written, but I imagine it won't be published until the mac version becomes available.

Brian Drysdale · January 9th, 2013, 11:41 AM

There is now a pdf available of the Lightworks terminology: A Guide to Lightworks Lingo (Terminology)

It's basically the contents of the first post, but you have to register on the web site and be signed in order to see the link to the pdf.

Brian Drysdale · January 31st, 2013, 12:46 PM
