Lightworks Pro Activation Key Archives

If you search online, many Lightworks crack options will pop up, proving that it’s a well-designed software that is in high demand. But don’t fall into the trap and use this unethical and illegal way of installing the program. Instead of collaborating with hackers, try using the official software for free or get one of its alternatives that are in open access.

What Is Lightworks Crack?

A crack means an illegal copy of an official software changed in such a way that the verification mechanism is tricked into remaining inactive so no authenticity checks are performed. Hackers have two ways of achieving this result. One is to make a copy of the source code with required changes in.

Another way is to create a small program that will produce a fake Lightworks Pro license key to unlock the official software. Those are usually called keygens but sometimes you see patches or loaders as well.

Launching a crack undermines your computer’s security, thus making all the files on it accessible to hackers through a little hidden process that the crack has enabled. You won’t know someone got access to your bank account and has been spying on your life through a webcam until it’s too late.

In the meanwhile, you will be using a much inferior Lightworks crack, the functionality of which can’t be compared to the official version. Wouldn’t you agree that safety and stable performance of the program is the top priority?

Why Using Lightworks Crack Is a Bad Idea?

Before launching a Lightworks Pro, think again of what you’re really about to get. How likely do you find it that someone has worked hard to create a hack only for your benefit?

It might be that the unknown person is actually getting something they need from you only without honestly warning you about the fact. More often than not, it is actually cheaper to pay for the subscription, since illegal use brings harsh consequences.

Malware/virus. By installing a free crack that is supposed to break the software’s defense, you are sabotaging your own safety. Through such malware, hackers acquire access to the files of your computer, obviously without giving you a warning or even a hint. If you can’t control the changes made to the program’s source code or at least tell which background computer processes are normal and which are suspicious, you can’t protect yourself from their illegal schemes.

Threat to your intellectual property. In case you’re using a Lightworks crack, there is no official agreement between you and Lightworks. So your projects created by illegal software are not protected. It means that if someone has copied the footage compiled by you, there is no way you can prosecute them. The footage made in illegally used software does not fall under copyright law.

Software flaws. It is a common scenario that you use an illegal way to unblock software but then it doesn’t work to its full potential. This happens because hackers can’t know all the intricacies of the source code and the changes they make cause bad performance. Working with such a tool becomes frustrating and inefficient.

Lack of support. If you manage to get away with downloading a Lightworks torrent and save some money, don’t forget that you will be wasting time in the future. Imagine that an issue with the software caused it to crash. You can’t report the issue or get some help from a support group. Also, there is no one who bears responsibility for such dysfunctions and their consequences since it’s illegal. Plus, new updates or fixes for existing bugs will not be accessible to you either.

Unethical and illegal. Official information has been released that the video editor will become open-source. But some time will pass before that shift will take place. Until then, the software is protected by copyright law and whoever uses the original source code or makes changes to it without the authorization of EditShare, the actual owners of the intellectual property, may face legal charges for their unethical actions.

What Lightworks Version to Choose?

For simpler video editing needs, you can use the basic version, which is absolutely free. If the available tools and options are not enough for your needs, you will have to obtain a Lightworks Pro activation code to enjoy the program’s full capacity. With its help, you can create a professional video and have it exported in a choice of formats and resolutions.

1. Lightworks v14

Without payment, you can still work on your YouTube vlog comfortably. The only limitations compared to the full mode are a reduced number of FX effects and a video quality limit of 720p for exporting the result of your work.

2. Lightworks Pro: Month

This offer gives you access to the full capacity of the software, enabling you to create professional footage. You will be able to use a large number of video and sound effects, benefit from a well-designed interface and timeline, export your results in a variety of formats. You will get the Lightworks Pro free support and updates with this plan. But the monthly subscription is only really beneficial for those planning a short-term use.

3. Lightworks Pro: Year

This plan offers one additional perk compared to the monthly one – access to two Boris packages, FX and Graffiti. The former is useful for fine-tuning the video/audio synchronization. The latter is highly requested by all the professionals working with vector images.

As you would expect, the yearly plan saves you some money in the long run. So it is the best choice for those professionals who’re settled on a long career and prefer this software to all other options.

4. Lightworks Pro: Outright

This one-time payment will grant you unlimited access to that version of the software which you’ve paid for. It means that you get all the perks of the yearly subscription except the ability to receive any improvements or updates.

Decide whether you want to always get all the latest tools and features or whether you’re fine with being limited to the initial toolkit for at least 2.5 years.

Lightworks Crack Alternatives

If you’re already discouraged by the idea of getting a Lightworks Pro crack, your only issue now is to find a good-enough free alternative. Luckily, there are many software options used not only by amateurs but even by professionals.

1. DaVinci Resolve 16

This program is an analog to the most popular video editor Adobe Premiere. There is an advanced version as opposed to this more basic but free one. Any type of video can be edited with this program and its best feature is color correction. Unlike the faulty Lightworks crack, you will be able to feel that you’re using professional software because it’s well-designed and highly functional.

In case you’re worried that it doesn’t have enough filters, you can make use of the OpenFX support to get yourself some additional tools. For instance, if you’re a fan of NewBlueFX or Red Giant filters, you’ll be happy to know they’re supported. Accordingly, the functionality of the program can be expanded and fitted to your needs.

2. Splice

Probably the best Lightworks crack substitute for iOS is this software. You can use the gallery to find materials for your future clip. If you like adding background music, you will enjoy using the big library in the program. But for those users who have very particular needs, import from iTunes is supported.

You can crop segments and apply transitions to them, use filters for improving the image, insert captions or audio comments where needed. It is easy to understand how the program works and even easier to share the results of your work just by posting it on social media or saving it back to the gallery.

3. Kdenlive

This Lightworks crack alternative is a non-linear video editor. It’s been initially developed for GNU and Linux. But owners of BSD and macOS devices can also use it. Only the Windows version is still absent, supposedly being developed.

Normally, video editing software for beginners is linear, which is why this program will have to be configured first. But organizing it isn’t hard and even amateurs should be able to work with ease on their clips. There is a wide selection of video formats supported and, unlike some free programs, Kdenlive lets you work with Full HD.

When you’re editing clips, you get a convenient toolkit for creating, moving, cropping and managing them. The possibilities also include creating transitions, adding captions and effects to the footage. Furthermore, you can make use of color LUTs, which is a great thing for all beginners and also professionals.

Freebies

Even professionals struggle to control the lights while filming, which is why they turn to color correction at the video editing stage. But the task itself is time-consuming and pretty boring, so LUTs were designed to help achieve the same result faster. Save some money by getting these high-quality free filters.

Cinematic Flavin

In case there is a problem with the desaturation of the footage, this effect will fix it in one click. Plus, your video will resemble those made on film.

Glow Highlight

This complex effect deals with all the important settings, such as brightness, contrast, saturation and shadows, plus the color grading as a finishing touch. After you apply the effect, videos of landscapes and various natural elements acquire more depth.

Teal Water

In case you’re shooting at the sea or other water sources, try out this effect to give a special touch to blue hues and see how the water immediately transforms.

Lightworks Crack: Should I Download It?

Once more, don’t get tempted to search for a Lightworks Pro free activation code. Apart from being unethical and illegal towards the EditShare company, it is also dangerous for you. In most cases, users of pirated software install additional unwanted programs that spy on them and steal data along with running weird background processes and lowering the software’s performance. You will be better off with the free version of the software downloaded from the official source.

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 adoptors worldwide due to the software being available across three platforms in Windows, Mac and Linux. The development of an open-source version was announced in May 2010.^[3] 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.^[4]

Features[edit]

Use in films and TV series[edit]

History

OLE Limited was founded in 1989 by Paul Bamborough, Nick Pollock and Neil Harris. In 1994 it was sold to Tektronix,^[10] who were not successful at developing the company's products. In 1999 it was sold on to the newly formed Lightworks Inc., then owned by Fairlight Japan, and then purchased by Gee Broadcast in May 2004.^[11][12]

Gee Broadcast ownership, 2004–2009[edit]

Under Gee Broadcast ownership, new product releases resumed with the release of the Lightworks Touch range,^[13][14] and the Alacrity^[15] and Softworks^[16] ranges for SD & HD editing.^[17] Softworks offered the Lightworks User Interface and toolset in a software only package for laptops or office workstations. Softworks and Alacrity supported mixed formats and resolutions in real time and project output in different resolutions without re-rendering. Alacrity supported dual outputs while the same facility was available for Softworks users as an option.^[18]

EditShare ownership, 2009–present[edit]

In August 2009 the UK and US based company EditShare acquired Gee Broadcast and the Lightworks editing platform from, along with their video server system GeeVS.^[19]

At the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters, NAB Show, on 11 April 2010, EditShare announced that they plan to transform Lightworks into Lightworks Open Source.^[20] It was presented at IBC in Amsterdam September 2010.^[21]

On 9 November 2010, EditShare announced that Lightworks would be downloadable on 29 November of the same year, at first exclusively for the users who had registered during the initial announcement,^[22] but subsequently publishing the software as "public beta".^[23]

EditShare planned the release of the open source version in Q4 of 2011, after they finished code review.^[23] They plan to make money from proprietary plugins offered in their associated online shop, including plugins needed to access professional video formats. Shortly before the scheduled release date of 29 November 2011, EditShare announced that an open source release of the software would be temporarily delayed, but did not announce a new release date. The announcement noted that they were not yet satisfied with the stability of the new version.^[24][25]

Windows version released at NAB 2012[edit]

After an 18-month beta program, EditShare released Lightworks 11, for Windows only, on 28 May 2012. The non beta release of Lightworks includes a host of new features for editors, and runs on wide range of PC hardware. The software was re-designed and re-written for portability (versions for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X have also been released) and now supports many more codecs including AVCHD, H.264, AVC-Intra, DNxHD, ProRes, Red R3D, DPX, XDCAM HD 50, XDCAM EX, DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K, but only for the paid Pro version. The free version supports DV, MPEG, Uncompressed and other codecs for both import and export.^[26][27][28]

Windows version 11.1 released 29 May 2013[edit]

On 29 May 2013, v11.1 stable release was made available for download. A major development in the Pro version is much improved performance of the H.264/AVC codec in MP4 and MOV containers. This makes it possible to edit this format natively, even with less powerful CPUs. This should interest HDSLR and GoPro camera users. Native editing of H.264 MTS files has been possible since version 11.0.3.

This version of Lightworks has also replaced HASP with the new EditShare Licensing System (ELS), which eliminates some installation problems. Lightworks Free users can now download the 64 bit version, which was previously limited to Pro users. The Free version now also comes with a 30-day Pro Trial period.^[29]

Linux version announced at IBC 2012[edit]

EditShare demonstrated the Linux version at the NAB in Las Vegas in April 2012, and posted a video of it running on Ubuntu on their YouTube channel.^[30] At IBC in Amsterdam in September, an updated Linux demo was presented, and EditShare announced that the initial Linux alpha version would become available on 30 October .^[31] Lightworks 11 alpha for Linux was released on 30 April 2012, but only to a limited audience.^[32] The Linux version of Lightworks was made available as a Public Beta on 30 April 2013.^[33][34][35]

Lightworks 12 beta released for Windows, Linux and Mac[edit]

On 8 August 2014, the first beta of Lightworks version 12 working on Windows, Linux and Mac was released.^[36]

Lightworks 12.5 released for Windows, Linux and Mac[edit]

On 29 August 2015, Lightworks version 12.5 for Windows, Linux and Mac was released.^[37]

Lightworks 12.6 released for Windows, Linux and Mac[edit]

On 4 February 2016, Lightworks version 12.6 for Windows, Linux and Mac was released.^[38]

Lightworks 14.5 released for Windows, Linux and Mac[edit]

In October 2018, Lightworks released version 14.5 for Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. 14.5 added a vast array of new features including variable frame rate support, a huge amount of codec support including Red Cinema R3D, Cineform and Blackmagic Q1 codecs.^{[citation needed]}
