# Any video editing software with own codecs?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-01-17)

I just tried the new Lightworks and even though I followed the installation instructions rigorously I managed to hit codec problems.

Is there any (preferably proprietary) video editing software with own codecs so that it would run on any Windows? I just want the software to work. Preferably without crashing.

**Tags:** video-editor, codec
