This is the first in a series of blogs I will do about Open Source Application for Media Professionals. Open Source Apps can be used for FREE.I'm going to begin here with the highly anticipated release (by 25,000 people at least) of and Academy and Emmy Award winning editing program which as of "tomorrow" November 29th, 2010... is going open sourceThis is a real editing program. This will be a competitor for Final Cut. If you don't own final cut and you need an editing program, you have no more excuses regarding lack of funds. Lightworks will even edit R3D files - which are the RED native files... Final Cut doesn't even do this yet.So - check it out and see if it matches your style. I'll definitely be looking into it.Here is a link to the site and video demonstrationLightwork's WebsiteVideo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gCDFfXUcGk&translated=1
