LightworksLightworks (formerly OLE Limited) was founded at the end of the 1989, by Paul Bamborough, Nick Pollock and Neil Harris. Using a control interface similar to the industry standard Steenbeck controller they produced a film editing, video editing computer based non-linear editing system. It had a number of (for its time) unique features, such as "sync slip", synchronized varispeed playback with audio scrubbing, synchronized multi-channel playback, and an object-oriented user interface with a dedicated hardware console. Some of these features are still unmatched by other competing systems. The system went on to win Scientific and Technical Academy Awards and Emmy Awards. The development team contained former members of the computer games company Magnetic Scrolls and the Computer Film Company, some of whom went on to join the Sohonet media network development team. Sold to Tektronix in 1994, who were not successful at developing the company's products, and then on sold to the newly formed Lightworks inc in 1999, then owned by Fairlight Japan, and then purchased by Gee Broadcast in 2004. Under new ownership, new product releases have resumed with the release of the new Lightworks Touch range. The system has been used to edit many television programs and feature films. External links
