Lightworks Pro 12.5 Review

In the latest version of Lightworks Pro, numerous bugs and issues have been fixed, making it a more stable and efficient video editing software for professionals. Among the many fixes are those related to importing MTS (H.264) media, which no longer causes hanging or crashing. Additionally, the program now correctly imports MOV files with incorrect aspect ratios.

Other significant improvements include fixing potential crashes when switching rooms, working with Matrox AVIs from After Effects, and rendering sections with a large number of effects. The software also addresses issues with copied local still images not being restored from an archive, as well as material vanishing from open bins when moved from another bin.

The Color Correction effect panel has been updated to reflect more accurate wording, and the program now supports AC3 audio decode without requiring third-party decoders. Furthermore, playback controls have been added to source and edit viewers, making it easier to navigate and fine-tune your projects.

In terms of new features, Lightworks Pro 12.5 includes support for AJA I/O devices (Kona and Io XT), available only in the Pro version on Windows. Additionally, there are new YouTube export options with direct upload capabilities, as well as the ability to import, render, and export tasks as background processes.

The software also comes with a range of new FX presets, including 12 sound EQ presets, which can be used to enhance audio tracks. Accompanying these presets are tutorial videos that provide detailed instructions on how to utilize the new effects, including tips on when and how to apply them for optimal results.

Overall, Lightworks Pro 12.5 represents a significant update, addressing numerous bugs and issues while introducing exciting new features that can help professionals streamline their workflow and produce high-quality video content.
