Lightworks 11.5 (for Windows and Linux) is now available to download. There are a huge number of new features added to the free and paid for versions of the program, which is easily powerful, and capable enough, of rivalling all the other major NLEs.

For a full list of what’s new in 11.5 you can download this pdf or you can read a quick summary over on the official Lightworks site. You can also watch these short walk through tutorials. If you’re still waiting for the Mac version, well you’ll just have to keep waiting. Hopefully it will be available soon!

Lastly you really can’t beat the price of the pro version at £49.99/$79.99 a year or just £4.99/$7.99 a month. You can also pay a one-time fee of £179.99/$279.99 for that version (with free minor updates). The pro version allows you to export to more than just Youtube and enables all of the third party proprietary codecs.
