Cross Platform Features and Fixes Since 2020.1.1 Beta Revision 124942
- Projects created in Lightworks no longer require a frame rate to be selected during project creation. This allows for any frame rate content to be imported to a project and played back, logged and added to a sequence seamlessly, including:
- All content is played at its natural rate regardless of media frame rate.
- Import 23.98fps, 24fps, 25fps, 29.97fps, 30fps, 50fps, 60fps, 120fps, and 240fps media into the same project
- The video output format is now set per sequence instead of on the project card
- Copies of a sequence can be made for different output frame rates if required
- Added a sequence output format option
- Removed the project output format option
- Each sequence has its own output format. This can be viewed/changed by right-clicking on a sequence and amending the 'Playback format'
- Clips always play back at their native Rate/Size/Shape
- Thumbnails in a bin are always shown with the correct aspect-ratio/shape, but within a 16:9 frame
- Asset Associations now allow for sequences, clips, subclips, documents, and to be linked together by loading an asset into the source viewer and selecting the “Associates” tab:
- Drag and drop an asset from a bin to the ‘User’ sub-tab to associate them together

- View subclips associated with the clip loaded above within the viewer on the “Subclips” sub-tab
- View sequences that include the loaded clip within the viewer on the “References” sub-tab
- View constituent clips from a sequence loaded within the viewer on the “References” sub-tab
- Added ability to define sequence custom output aspect ratios (Lightworks Pro Only)
