Oscar Worthy Film Uses Open Source FREE Video Editor

This post is an excerpt from Lightworks.
Back in April 2010, we announced our plans to take Lightworks open source. We always said the first step would be to make the application freely available so that a large community of users could start becoming familiar with it. We are very pleased to have reached this first milestone. Now you can freely download the most intuitive and advanced editor available. This is not a trial download. From here forward, you will always be able to download and use the latest version of Lightworks for free.

Anwar utilized Lightworks to cut the recently released King George VI
drama, "The King’s Speech". Its exceptional storyline, paired with an
extremely talented cast (Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham
Carter) has made quite the impact – receiving multiple Oscar nominations
including “Best Film Editing” for Anwar. Meet the man behind the
(editing) machine who helped bring the historic film to life.
