How To and Review: Lightworks

Problems and solutions!

  • Multi Cam video out of sync (GoPro and phone video)
    • Convert using Handbrake to Constant frame rate
    • If you make proxies with variable frame rate and import your high quality video, the proxies will still be variable frame rate and wont edit correctly.
  • Constant loading of app, cursor turns to spinning wheel every other second when clicking through clips.
    • Right Click on clip>Media>Create Proxy
    • Click on
  • Switching camears in Multi-cam view not working
    • Switch to flexible layout, multi-cam functionality not possible in fixed layout
  • Move Lucy to a different spot
    • Move preference box to a location you want Lucy to be, right click Lucy and  drag to the place you want her, then let go and quickly click on the “save preferences” Button
  • Sync Multi-Cam video ( Make sure you have Constant Frame Rate on video first!)

  • Cutting Clips
    • Place red cursor on video and press c or del, then right click and close gap, this doesn’t work on tracks with multiple video!
    • use in-point and out-point, place track where you want to make initial cut, then press “i” then take red cursor to last point and press “o” then press delete
  • Edit audio and adding keyframes
    • Hover over the audio track with your mouse and hold SHIFT. This will let you add keyframes to the audio in order to adjust the levels
  • Using Proxies (for lightning fast editing!)
    • Right click clip>Media>Make Proxies
    • Click on project title>Video>Playback Media Quality>Lowest available
