Chapter 1 ■ Setting Up a <strong>Java</strong> 8 Game <strong>Development</strong> Environment<br />

Downloading and Installing EditShare Lightworks<br />

<strong>Java</strong>FX also supports digital video, which uses raster pixel-based motion video technology. Raster represents video<br />

as a sequence of frames, each of which contains a digital image based on an array of pixels. Digital video assets are<br />

usually created using digital video editing and special effects software packages, such as Adobe After Effects and Sony<br />

Vegas. In this section, you will download and install open-source digital video editing software known as Lightworks.<br />

EditShare’s Lightworks used to be a paid software package until it was made open source. You will have to register<br />

on the Lightworks web site to download and use the software. This package is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac<br />

OSs. To find Lightworks on the Internet, go to Google Search, and type in Lightworks, as shown in Figure 1-18, at the<br />

top left. Click the Download link (or right-click, and open in a separate tab), and click the appropriate Download<br />

button and the tab that represents the OS that you are using. The Downloads page will automatically detect the OS<br />

that you are using and select the correct OS tab; in my case, Windows.<br />

Figure 1-18. Google the term “Lightworks,” go to the Lightworks Downloads page, and click the tab that matches<br />

your OS<br />

Register on the Lightworks web site, if you have not done so already. Once you are approved, you can then<br />

download and install the latest version of Lightworks. Install the software, and create a Quick Launch icon for your<br />

taskbar, as you did for the other software. Next, you will install a 3D modeling and animation package, called Blender.<br />
