We’re used to this sort of thing in picture manipulation, but not so much in audio and they do a great job of combining a range of tools to enable you to change certain aspects of what you’re working on quickly and easily.

Lightworks Pro has always had the top-range tools for professionals - think iZotope noise reduction, AAF transfers to ProTools, and cut / change lists - and now these are being joined by a set of tools that are more aimed at the many new arrivals to non-linear editing that are coming to the software via the Lightworks Create package. Audio is a key component that is overlooked and undervalued at anyone’s peril, so it’s good to see that Lightworks 22.3 is paying attention to all things aural with some decent new tools and techniques. It’s a subject we’ve often banged on about in these pages visuals are only half the story when it comes to video production. The latest point release from Lightworks majors on audio with a host of new features to make sure the aural side of your edits goes smoothly.
