Yes, the open source NLE is finally here, and with a new website.

For now it has only been released for Windows, but they promise they are working in porting it to Linux and then MAC. Good to see a professional video editing company that takes Linux into account.

Well, technically there’s Piranha HD and Autodesk Smoke for Red Hat, so I could say that finally we have an affordable NLE for Linux.

The sad part? My workstation at the office is a Mac Pro, and last time I tried to install Lightworks (beta at the time) in my Win 7 netbook it almost exploted. So I guess I’ll have to wait until Editshare releases it for Mac or I’ll buy a desktop computer with Windows 7 (I’ll probably wait).

So, how about you guys? Have you tried Lightworks?
