For a novice how hard is the learning curve for Lightworks vs Sony Vegas Pro?

Brian Drysdale · January 25th, 2015, 03:17 PM

Having used both they've got pretty similar learning curves, they just have different paradigms. Having said that, I got up and going faster with Lightworks, it really comes down to how individual people like working. I feel that Lightworks has a cleaner interface and less cluttered than Vegas.

Vegas is better at audio than Lightworks, but Lightworks is better at long form and narrative editing, this sort of reflects their backgrounds..

Brian Drysdale · January 27th, 2015, 11:03 AM

Here's a quick start guide for Lightworks which gives the basics. There are different methods for carrying out operations, so you can use the mouse, keyboard, control console (be it the Lightworks or third party) or a combination of these. The layout is also flexible allowing the bins, viewers, timelines etc to be arranged to personal taste.

Brian Drysdale · January 30th, 2015, 10:22 AM

The latest beta fixes several regressions reported recently and resolves a console connectivity issue on Mac OS X.
