EDIUS Pro vs. Lightworks

EDIUS is well suited for: -News production -Multi-camera productions -Documentaries -General purpose television productions -Corporate videos, YouTube videos etc. EDIUS is less appropriate for: -Cinematography -Special Effects -Commercials production

Lightworks is a great tool for a non-designer to use because it provides a number of tools and capabilities that can be quickly learned. For someone who is an advanced video editor, it may not provide every tool they will need. Given how much can be accomplished through the free version, I think it's a great tool for making simple videos for social media, YouTube and other basic applications.

• I would like to see some improvement with keys effects, and specifically Chroma Keys and Masks.
• Adjustment layers like Adobe Premiere would be a nice feature too.
• EDIUS of course has adjustment layers as filters, but it would be most convenient to have separate adjustment layers on the timeline.

• I have had it crash on me while using; thought content is saved
• The user interface could be updated/modernized
• Hot-keys commands are not always intuitive

Adobe is a great tool that is very competitive and I still use it depending on what PC I have on hand and how fast the job needs to get done but I selected Lightwork because I think that it is less complicated to browse and was able to learn the shortcuts fast, making my time more productive.

• It's value for money index is excellent.
• We received back our investment more or less after couple of weeks of using that internally and stopped outsourcing editing.

• It has helped us create more video content that we had not been able to do in the past
• Given that we can use the free version in almost every situation, there has been no direct cost to use
