EditShare, the company behind Academy and Emmy award-winning video editing software Lightworks announced plans to release its product under an open source license. Lightworks was most recently used to edit movies like Shutter Island and Centurion, but is also credited with helping create otehr films like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Mission Impossible.

Lightworks Open Source is packed with a ton of features including 3D editorial functionality, native RED editing, native 2K support with DPX and RED, and Universal Media File support. It can also share media and work in tandem with other editing software such as Final Cut Pro and Avid.

Under development since 1989, the Lightworks project was acquired by EditShare in 2009. The company says releasing it under an open source license so it can reach its "full potential."

“EditShare has built a reputation for offering open solutions that enhance collaboration. In taking this uncharted path with Lightworks, we follow this same principle,” said James Richings, Co-Managing Director, EditShare EMEA in a prepared statement. “Lightworks Open Source offers a highly collaborative development environment based on powerful and feature-rich underlying technology, which has come from over one million hours of software development."

EditShare plans to let developers create and sell plugins, options, or I/O devices through an online market place. According to Tara Montford, EditShare's Co-Managing Director, "We are increasing our development and support staff, and all contributed code will be thoroughly managed by our distinguished Lightworks team, ensuring the reliability of the new Lightworks Open Source editor.”

Lightworks won't be officially available until Q3 of this year, but you can sign up to be notified when it's released.

Finalmente ci voleva un programma video professionale per Linux.

Speriamo che dopo l'uscita del programma lo possiamo vederlo girare su Mandriva.

Ciao da Salvo.

macche dici .....mah
appunto non e proprio professionale ma user-friendley se per quello ci sono videoeditori su linux professionali
ma veramente piu che professionali, solo che complicati e non veramente user-friendley
in poche parole ne avid ne lightworks sono al altezza di cinelerra ( per dirti uno) solo che
avid e lightworks sono piu di " papa pronta" per farti capire.
ma voi paragonare un editor con supporto cli con uno esclusivamente grafico???
No caro in linux nn mancano videoeditori professionali ma manca gente aperta ad imparare ad usarli , tutto qui.
ma che ti fai tu con un videoeditor professionale , scusa? hai mai usato
cinelerra, cinefx,lives,perfino pitivi e openshot, o magari ffmpeg da shell ( che non ha rivali ), per poter capire le differenze veramente?
PS;
editori per win( mac) professionali sono :
Adobe Premiere Pro
Adobe After Effects
Sony Vegas Pro
Ulead MediaStudio Pro

piu o meno questi....

Scusa non avevo capito bene la parola: user-friendley (Tipo di software di facile usabilità).
SymbianFlo ha scritto:

I programmi cinelerra e lives sono ottimi, ma come affermi sono difficili da comprendere e non esistono guide o tutorial per capire come funzionano.

Il programma Cinefx, in fase di progettazione (erede di Jahshaka), speriamo che non sia complicato da comprendere come il predecessore che sembrava fatto solo per gli addetti ai lavori di Jahshaka.

Mi sembra che Pitivi dopo cinque anni di progetto riesca solo ad unire e tagliare pezzi di filmato.

FFmpeg va bene che non ha rivali, ma siamo l'era dell'ambiente grafico più sofisticato (ancora con comandi da shell per il montaggio video).

Forse essendo difficili da comprendere i programmi Linux per il montaggio video non vedo le associazione con i programmi di Adobe Premiere Pro e After Effects ?

Penso che serva definire cosa si intende per professionale, se si intende il massimo dell'espressione tecnica e l'esasperazione della personalizzazione sicuramente Symbianflo ha ragione vedi gli studios cinematografici & c. dove Linux con i suoi tool per il video editing viene usato come base per creare applicazioni ad hoc. Se invece intendiamo un utilizzo in ambito lavorativo, di tutti quelli che realizzano per lavoro dei video ad esempio che spot pubblicitario, video di eventi, riprese sportive ecc. penso che solo ora stia iniziando ad aversi un'alternativa anche se ancora non all'altezza.
Ci sono ambiti dove serve lavorare in maniera intuitiva e veloce, dove il lavoro viene fatto da diverse persone che lavorano sullo stesso video, dove molto spesso chi fa il montaggio deve anche essere un cameramen piuttosto che un giornalista inviato. In tutti questi campi pensare di usare i tool da riga di comando è impensabile.
Tralasciando che in ambito professionale di un certo livello i programmi sono associati ad hardware dedicato schede video, tastiere, ecc. Non ho mai incontrato nulla di simile su Linux.
Forse la nascita di programmi di buona qualità porterà i produttori a sviluppare delle console con Linux.
Benvengano programmi di questo tipo.

Astragalo

P.S. Forse in pochi sanno che gran parte dei filmati che deviamo ancora oggi nei telegiornali, soprattutto delle reti minori, vengono realizzate con montaggio lineare, icredibile ma vero!

Mykol, dovrai ancora pazientare fino all'estrate o forse all'autunno.

Che dire, va tenuto d'occhio! Non deve mancare su Mandriva, anche se per Linux bisognerà attendere il 2011!!! :lol:
