| Download of the day: Lightworks Posted:  Who says you need to pay big bucks for a professional video editing program? Lightworks is stupendously powerful software that's available completely for free. Why you need itThe prohibitive cost of professional video editing software can form a major barrier, especially if you're just starting out or don't have much in the way of funds. If you want a fantastic program that can work with video but need something cheaper than Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightworks is the perfect choice – even more so because you don't even have to pay for it. But don't think it's not up to much because it's free – Lightworks is used extensively by Hollywood directors, and was put to good use on such films as The Wolf of Wall Street, The King's Speech and Pulp Fiction. So if it's good enough for people like BAFTA award-winner Peter Honess, we're sure you'll love it too. So what can it do? Well, there's a multi-layered timeline, a multi-channel audio mixer, full effect adjustment with keyframes and real-time waveform and vectorscape tools. There are more than 40 effects bundled with Lightworks, One of the best aspects of Lightworks is its compatibility – it can work with files created in Final Cut Pro, Avid, Adobe After Effects and many more programs, which makes it ideal if you're working on a project with various different collaborators. The paid-for version allows you to export your work in 1080p (the free version is limited to 720p maximum), support for hardware I/O and a few more advanced options, but the free version offers so much that there's really no need to shell out unless you plan on editing a Hollywood blockbuster.

| Microsoft supercharges Office Online with slew of new features Posted:  Microsoft has added a number of small features to its Office Online suite to benefit those that use the web-based version of the popular productivity service. An online blog post outlined the new features that are primarily focused on reading and proofreading, but also cover the saving and opening of files thus further championing its OneDrive cloud storage service. Reading View is now much improved with the edit, print, share and comments buttons now in view at all times and readers will see that two advanced tools in the shape of translation and downloading options have also been added here. Word Online, meanwhile, has a new proofreading feature that allows you to highlight a section of text and view the word count for that specific part, whereas before you could only see the number of words for the entire document. Save files in more locationsSaving and managing files is slightly more advanced thanks to Office Online now allowing you to save files to different locations in OneDrive as opposed to just the one, and you can also download files to an external storage device as either an Office file or PDF. Read-only files can also be edited a lot more easily by adding them straight to your OneDrive using the button on the toolbar and then opening them to edit inside Office Online. Office Online replaced Office Web Apps in February 2014 as the home for Microsoft's collection of free web apps and it has been slowly adding new features, such as Skype, since OWA as it was previously known was launched in 2009.
