I hope it's better than their website...it's completely unusable under Chrome. But good on them, this is one area where OSS has been lacking up to now.

I spoke to their web-dev - apparently the menu was built before Chrome was released, hence the compatibility issue. I've been assured that it's near the top of the to-do list.

I can't find sys reqs. Mac? Linux? Windows?

Here is the website of the company they bought out, whose products they are presumably open-sourcing: http://www.geebroadcast.co.uk/LWKS/lwks_product.htm

The Lightworks Softworks brochure lists Windows XP Pro as a minimum system requirement. Of course, open-source software tends to go cross-platform; for example, Blender was once proprietary and Unix-only.
