After using Avid booths and SGI's to edit, I remember being very
pleased to see Apple create Final Cut Pro. It was transformational for
me, and even an entire industry. Lightworks, under and OSS model,
could usher in a new forms of creating and delivering media... ,maybe
even 'Transmedia'.

Editor-To-Go-Open-Source

"EditShare will release its video editor as open source this summer.
Lightworks handles high-definition media, DPX, and RED, shares projects
with Final Cut Pro and Avid, and was recently used by
Academy-award-winning editor Thelma Schoonmaker on Shutter Island.
Introduced in in 1989 and bought by EditShare last year, it 'has come
from over one million hours of software development,' says EditShare's
James Richings. But he says releasing the source will 'generate
concepts and capabilities never seen before. I expect that the
Lightworks Open Source initiative will transform not only the
technology, but also the opinions on what a professional editing tool
can achieve.'"
