Can't you just keep using the beta version and enjoying the export options that it had?

Nope

Yeah they always said the free version would export to You Tube only.

I guess I must have not read that. Anyway IF they really wanted to play nice, at least within betatesters ( here goes number of absurd testing hours + time spent providing feedback - we'll leave out learning curve and workarounds "maybe Lwks is not cut for you" experience just for fairness sake), they could provide the latest beta version without the stupid 7 days limit.

I don't care anymore... I'm thinking in founding a terrorist, you hear well NSA; TERRORIST group... based on monthly online subscriptions, goal would be insert horny marxist (?) penguin in main distribution platforms, also along low thirds in tv news, over every single politician's face, over all cartoon's sex and crawling like hell on stock market's screens :D

PS
code name "Al-pinguinists"... a "beep" should also be implemented each time someone says "lawyer" or reads camera specs and a very drunk Kay from digitalrev should write public manifesto. As philanthropic hipocritical season activity: cutting ethiopian pregnant hippos' finger nails... uff, way OT

Can't you just keep using the beta version and enjoying the export options that it had? Lightworks have always said they'd charge for a number of features and I doubt they hid that from their beta testers.

Lightworks Release Candidate 12.0.RC2 is out

Some more improvements since last beta but what a steep learning curve of lingo, workflow and workarounds from other editors. Finally manage to properly import AAF and a workaround to paste multiple effects.
All and all, pretty damn good free app, not for everybody style of editing though. Y'all have a good day =)

Lightworks Beta 12M

First of all and most important, THANK YOU, for all the hard work and for keeping improving the experience :cheer:

Secondly, this is a half baked list; no special order; within the mindspace and time I could put into it. Probably many of the things have been already looked at, talked about and so on, but this is my list!!! just kidding

EFFECTS RESET
be able to reset effects instead of having to delete them - purple dot next to green? - copy settings (sync) instead of having to save as a preset for faster workflow /// #A multiple enabling selection just by clicking first and scrolling down (AE) or clicking first and then shift last #A

searcheable effecs as it has been done with shortcuts / keys

KEYFRAMES
same as #A

AUDIO
as tomario said, disabling audio playback without having to go into the mixer console; shift + icon and alt + icon could mute / solo them and so no need for more icons (tomario wise words ,-)

FPS
interpret footage (premiere) style for real slomo with no fuzz

TIMELINE and EFFECTS
clicable clip menu to add an effect spanning that clip only - that already happens in the layer directly above (L1), but even if (L1) unselected and only selected second layer above (L2), effect would join first layer. V1 has to be selected also, strange.
Being inside or in selected fx.

• 1 for the lock tracks movement, freeness is over rated :P

posibility of adding (sync) multiple effects to multiple clips without being just an overal layer.
mark in and out and select track where to add them would be fast enough :)

VIEWER
zoomable edit viewer, I mean the image, not the window :)
magnifier with lock, real 1:1 ??? (to source and not display).
I would prefer, in some cases, a smooth flowing smaller image with magnfc assistance.
that’s one aspect of Lwks I’m really down about…

ROUTING
save video routing disposition / layout (save action / state / preset) to quickly {re}create the structure when working with multiple effects and layers all different in a multi edit end of the world meltdown tight deadline orgy.
multi selectable nodes, shift, alt, something to quickly unchain, same for chain the nodes, here dragging is a drag

LAYOUT
an icon "fit" in the timeline next to + and - mag glass icon
ability to fully / further customaise layout; i.e. outer window line thickness, I know I know the shark and red ribbons are house trademarks but I’m not asking to put there my name, just the possibility of muting them. I’d seriously love to change luiz (name I gave the shark) colour. If you know a programmer with much free time, maybe create a tamagoshark ™ out of it :P

auto-collapsable title windows… extra space it is always useful and if not accesing submenus of changing name…

when advanced dialog is enabled in TL you coukld fit there some audio meters gray with dark blue levels, orangish when close to 0db. naked lady will also do

SCOPES
Video scopes could use some love, a graffics monocolor mode, RGB parade?

VIGNETT-E.T.
a propper one, ratio / size, ammount, softness and more important than color, luminosity blend levels and blend style

LUTs
that would be wonderfull, BTW no point in spending your saliva explaining to me what Lwks is and what isn’t; I was born dum & grew stubborn =)

or forget LUTs and make 3D Lut Creator - http://3dlutcreator.com - integrable

THE SPECIAL FUNCTION
pretty please enable at once the dwarfs fairytale mode for going to bed with cookies and nice glass of whiskey and everything is done by the morning, thank you

More borned half babies with sexual deviations already: Lightworks Beta-K for mac, WB picker bug is dewrinkled (je je), lots of nice new features, SUPERB user FX filters!!! I like: the tools available, easy to colour correct and grade / the cruiser warp 1 speed of the app (4 filters real time fullscreen playing in mi fossil laptop) it's just nuts / it's a big steep curve to get used to edit methodology - honestly it's what I struggle with / love full screen, simple and yet useful focus / everything is keyframable on the easy and it works / new blend modes are {affected voice} simply divine, chicos... for an infant this thing can already kick some ass =) At LWKS someone is putting somethin' strong in coffee pot :P

◦   Added new Content Manager structure  
◦   Bins and Groups (previously racks) are now all visible within the content manager  
◦   Multicam Bins (previously Sync groups) are now all visible within the content manager  
◦   The Search function has been incorporated into the content manager (click the magnifying glass)  
◦   Added Clips, Subclips, Prints, Syncs, Edits, Searches, Everything and Recent filters to the content   manager  
◦   Added ability to create and edit Filters  
◦   Added ability to create Filters based on search criteria and manage them  
◦   Added the ability to drag/drop files from the OS directly into an open bin (cannot import to Filters)  
◦   Added the ability to import directly into an existing bin (cannot import to Filters)  
◦   And much more!  
•   Optimised the drawing pipeline. Any/All UI elements are now drawn more efficiently (less laggy)  
•   Rewritten the Lightworks Play engine to remove the need for the Display Optimisation Field/Frame   button
•   Added improvements to the export panel to make it easier to select a format for export  
•   Added entirely new Blur effect to the Effects panel  
•   Improved responsiveness for image display when moving the timeline marker    
•   The full list of fixes and other improvements in version 12 can be found here  

Some of the filters I linked in previous post - above - are very very very nice and truly useful, incredible to think this are user built. Anyway 4 ur convenience I gathered all (within my chaos) in the BELOW attached ZIP file

How to import filters: first click "effects" button down in the timeline, then little "cogs" icon on top right of dialog and then "create template from .LSD file", easy! See grab also. I wonder what that Assistant App is... for executables/plugs?

Video routing nodes looks good in the picture :P

you're welcome ,-)

Finally, it took a long time!!
I played a bit with LW mac beta - thanks @Vitaliy for heads up ,-)

First of all WTF is this 7 days rope around my digital neck?!! Je je

Then about the program itself... hmmmm. It looks like a very very beta thing. I don't mind at all the floating GUI (nice that is full screenable) and I can live with the silly red shark talking to me, but there's no way I'm comfortable editing; I didn't even manage to find shortcuts for such a basic task as jumping from clip-start to clip-start in the timeline. Add to that I was unable to import simple edits from premiere, being XML or EDL (actually EDL was imported but just the bones). The overall feeling is something that still needs a lot of work and that some essentials are missing. There are some nice features like the node based chain (video routing) which is still at its infancy. The WB selector is pretty nice with a punch-in like window where you can still define sample area. Some stuff is very intuitive but there's no help or guide or anything but the fucking red shark.
Like there's no feather in masks and everything looks and feels a bit oversimplified (just look at the scopes).
That said here's the good part, other than being (7 days license) free, the colour correcting tools are pretry responsive and enough (double edge blade on that enough, eh?) the colour engine does a very good job and in my machines is by far the fastest rendering standalone. Even from h264 material is damn fast the pimple shark!!!

Personally, I'll keep an eye on this project, hopefully LUTs will be implemented, plugging and effex compatibility added, GUI refined and the overall experience might get a bit more coherent, reliable and enjoyable +)

Quick and dirty tests, full of inconsistencies :P  LW is always top right

PS
Ok found a bit more of info in their site
