LibreGraphicsWorld – Last week EditShare terminated rumours about LightWorks version for Linux being vaporware and published a screencast. The screencast that demonstrates the highly anticipated hi-end non-linear video editor running on Ubuntu is actually from 2012 NAB Show that took place on April 14–19 in Las Vegas.

For that Graeme patched the ccxxmake tool. 8bit output got optional dithering available in [...]

For v2.6 we made an optional GEGL-based implementation of color adjustment tools, and for upcoming v2.8 we implemented optional projection rendering via GEGL.
