A two year license for the price of one is a good way to start discovering Lightworks Pro, the editor of choice for such successful film editors as Thelma Schoonmaker and Scott Hill, and used on commercial blockbusters including ‘Shutter Island’ and ‘Wolf of Wall Street’.

Lightworks is EditShare’s Academy and Emmy award-winning, professional Non-Linear Editing (NLE) software supporting resolutions up to 4K as well as video in SD and HD formats. Over the last 20 years, Lightworks has been used to cut many Hollywood blockbusters.The list of famous Lightworks editors includes: Jill Bilcock (Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet), Tariq Anwar (Revolutionary Road, The King’s Speech), Sally Menke (Pulp Fiction), Peter Honess (L.A. Confidential – for which he won a BAFTA) and UK editor Chris Gill (28 Days Later and Centurion).

Users of the free version of Lightworks might want to take the next step in terms of discovering the program, and use the promotion to purchase the Lightworks Pro version, which is really a bargain, made even more interesting with the addition of Boris FX or Boris Graffiti software.

Lightworks Pro is, at the moment, on version 12.6, which offers things as 4K UHD (2160p) export from Lightworks to Vimeo. Additionally, version 12.6 has improved XML export and supports Ubuntu 15.10 and Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).

To celebrate the new mark on Twitter, EditShare, the company behind the program, decided to run this promotion, which offers, as mentioned before, a two year license for the price of one ($174.99), and includes, absolutely free,  Boris FX or Boris Graffiti (value $299). It offers all export format options from 1080p up to UHD 4K and the license is valid for all version software releases. The offer expires October 31, 2016.
