Lightworks is a powerful, video-editing tool used by industry professionals. This tutorial provides steps on installing Lightworks in Pop!\_OS.

**NOTE** The stable version will not install correctly on current OS versions due to a deprecated libssl package. Instead, select the Beta download from the Linux download page which can be found [here](https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206&tab=1)
