Here's a PKGBUILD for August 23rd, 2023 build of Lightworks beta. You'll need to agree to be a beta tester and download the .deb package to the same folder as the PKGBUILD. Then run makepkg -si. LWKS recommends backing up your project data, which is super quick and easy: https://lwks.com/blog/shortcuts-5-backup-and-restore-video

Just bump the lwksver, sha512sums, and lwksbuild for newer builds.

I have another version of this PKGBUILD with a direct link that also works, not requiring you to manually download anything, which is what the latest PKGBUILD in this repository is using, but I'm leaving this one here as it's minimally useful in case the link/process changes.

this app now has flickering issue.

@ganthore, I've updated beta to 14.5.

marcinn commented on 2017-11-12 20:04 (UTC)

Patch applied, release updated.

ooo commented on 2017-11-12 16:31 (UTC)

Please apply the wayland.patch from lwks AUR package to this package as well. It's still required to launch lightworks under wayland.

Kaveiros commented on 2017-05-06 11:16 (UTC)

Deb source has changed and package fails to install

marcinn commented on 2017-02-09 12:51 (UTC)

I've changed versioning scheme of this package due to impossibility of releasing a fixes. Also I've dropped some dependencies looking deprecated/unnecessary. Let me know if you have any problems intalling/upgrading lwks-beta.

itsescde commented on 2017-02-01 17:40 (UTC)

Problem solved with the new version!

marcinn commented on 2017-01-29 12:32 (UTC)

Thanks. There must be some changes in Arch Linux, not in Lightworks. Let me investigate these issues.
