Step forward to April this year, at the National Association of Broadcasters (i.e.
#LIGHTWORKS PRO HACK SOFTWARE#
Then in August 2009, the UK/US based EditShare acquired the Lightworks software and video server system Geevs (think big league TV video servers!).
#LIGHTWORKS PRO HACK OFFLINE#
Gee Broadcast (who were initially set-up to provide a design and installation service for Broadcast Television Systems but expanded to equipment sales and distribution, including videographics and “engineering” products), then purchased Fairlight and the Lightworks technology in May 2004, and under new ownership, they released the Lightworks Touch range, the Alacrity range (an offline editing tool that incorporated the Lightworks job/shuttle console with analogue audio scrubbing, offered realtime effects with no rendering, SD and HD and was used to cut features like Evan Almighty), and the Softworks ranges (offering the Lightworks User Interface and toolset in a software only package for laptops or office workstations – keeping in mind at the time a Lightworks system was a complete package, not just sofware) for Standard Definition & High Definition editing. In the end they sold it on to Fairlight in Japan, who set up a new company called Lightworks Inc in 1999. It’s been around since 1989, as was one of the very first and most advanced non-linear editing systems on the market, however it’s had a pretty rocky history despite the fact that it’s won Scientific and Technical Academy Awards and Emmy Awards! Founded by Paul Bamborough, Nick Pollock and Neil Harris in 1994 it was sold to Tektronix (a North American company best known for their test and measurement equipment such as logic analysers, oscilloscopes, and video/mobile test protocol equipment), who were never able to turn the technology into a highly profitable product. To give you some background – Lightworks is not a new system.
#LIGHTWORKS PRO HACK REGISTRATION#
When the release was first announced the servers were hit pretty hard, and there were lots of reports of registration emails not getting through, however those issues have since been fixed so you should have no problem downloading a copy. If you haven’t done it already, you can download a copy of the free public beta here. I have known about them for years, and have read a lot about them – but never actually used one. Please be aware however, that I’m no expert – and this is really the first time I’ve ever had a good play with the Lightworks platform. However in the meantime, the amount of misinformation out there already is mind-blowing, so I thought I’d quickly run through some of the basic’s. Over the next few months we will do a lot more detailed testing, and also cut together some actual projects on the system. Unfortunately I’ve had quite a bit on today – however I have managed to do a couple of tests, and do a bit of mucking around. At 3:30 in the morning today, I received an e-mail from EditShare announcing that the first public beta release of Lightworks 10.0 was released into the wild.
