Lightworks
What is Lightworks?
Lightworks is a professional NLE system for editing and mastering of movies in 2K and 4K as well as television productions in PAL, NTSC and HD. Using a control interface similar to the industry standard Steenbeck flatbed controller, Lightworks was designed to be a non-linear editing system.
Overview
The most common release is 12.0.2.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named Lightworks.exe. The setup package generally installs about 68 files and is usually about 47.24 MB (49,534,897 bytes).
