Lightworks

Lightworks is a non-linear editing system (NLE) for editing and mastering digital video. It was an early developer of computer-based non-linear editing systems, and has been in development since 1989 and won a 2017 EMMY Award for pioneering digital nonlinear editing. Lightworks has millions of adopters worldwide due to the software being available across three platforms in Windows, Mac and Linux. The development of an open-source version was announced on April 11, 2010. No source code of the program has yet been released. In July 2020, a Lightworks product manager confirmed that they “Still hope to announce something in the future” about it becoming open source.
