6 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
Browser editing that renders in the cloud
Flixier starts at $19, more than Lightworks' $13.99, and renders in the cloud from a browser tab, no desktop install or the keyboard-first learning curve.
A free desktop video editor, open source
Shotcut costs nothing at any tier, fully open source, without the cap Lightworks puts on export resolution at the free level.
A simple open source video editor
OpenShot is free and built to be simple, the pick for finishing a first cut today rather than spending an afternoon learning a keyboard-first interface.
Free multi-track editing from the KDE project
Kdenlive is free multi-track editing from the KDE project, with no tier above it to buy and no export limits to meet.
Apple's editor, bought once or monthly
Final Cut Pro starts at $12.99 monthly or as a one-time purchase like Lightworks offers, but it runs on Apple hardware only and carries no free tier at all.
Edit, colour and audio post in one app
DaVinci Resolve starts at $295 if the paid tier is needed at all, far more than Lightworks' $13.99, but the free version adds colour grading and audio post in the same app.
