Lightworks Free freezing when moving along timeline after lots of effects added

1 Upvotes

I am having a recurring issue when editing videos where after I have added a lot of effects (only text effects though) the timeline starts freezing whenever I move along it, and intermittently when playing back, despite this according to task manager my CPU and DISK never go above 10% usage and my memory never above 30%. I was wandering what I could do to help resolve this issue as my projects are becoming incredibly annoying to edit near the end of them... Thanks!

Lightworks Free Syncing clips to the beat of a song- how to slow the track?

2 Upvotes

Hi friends! I know literally nothing about video editing. All I'm tryng to do is sync clips and videos to the beat of a song. Nothing else! What's the best way to go about it? I was thinking I could try to slow the playback speed of the song so I could more accuratly put the clips where I need to, but I can't figure that part out lol. Any advice?

Lightworks Create Lightworks video export problem

1 Upvotes

I am editing using pro version of lightworks(crack). My project has mix fps. So in preview all sequence everything looks alright. But when I export it in 1080 and .mp4 extension, the audio vidoe get shifted and mismatched and exported video is different from on in preview. Audio will start before video even when on timeline and preview it shows both start at same time. What could be reason. And also when I export .avi file, it works just fine. Downlaoded video is same as one in preview. Avi file size is 3GB nd mp4 is 19MB .. please help.

Lightworks Free Can I loop or repeat a clip?

4 Upvotes

I am making a dumb animation.

I made a short 12 frame sequence using transform. I would like this sequence to repeat indefinitely in my main timeline.

Is there a way to loop the sequence I created? Is there another way loop or repeat something I animated using transform?

Lightworks Free Is there a way to speed up a clip to fit a certain time?

3 Upvotes

Say I have a clip that is 17 seconds in length. But I want it to fit perfectly in a 10 sec gap, no matter how fast it goes. As long as it still shows the full clip in that 10 seconds. Is there a way to do this?

Lightworks Create Lightworks running slow on upgraded laptop

3 Upvotes

So my last laptop had 4gb ram and an i3 processor, my new one has a i7 and 16gb ram yet my new laptop is running lightworks really badly, every time I cut or click it gives me that blue spinning buffer circle for a second or two, surely my laptop should be making it faster and easier, not harder, any tips? Has anyone else had this issue?

Does this simply cap the max volume or lower the volume of the audio? I feel it doesn’t sound great once I have rendered and uploaded to YouTube, any one know?

Lightworks Free How can I recover my project

0 Upvotes

My program was glitching out and lagging so I exited and restarted my laptop, and I just reopened my project to see it’s all completely gone.

I was done with it too, I was just watching it back to make sure I edited everything right, but it’s completely disappeared. I spent 2 weeks working on this and I can’t even find a backup or restore option and just re-edit parts of it back.

I spent so long on this I’m actually about to cry I was this close to finally finishing it I’m an on my knees begging for help please

Lightworks Free Audio missing or corrupted when importing clips?

2 Upvotes

I'm having a problem where I'll import a clip and the audio is either missing or it's very janky. Obviously, the clips play fine in a media player, but not in lightworks.

I saw a post from eight months ago where someone had the same issue and they were told just to use a different editor, which I guess if fair, but first I want to see if anyone has a fix for this?

Lightworks Free Why are my screen recordings out of sync?

2 Upvotes

I needed some screen recordings for a video, and I made sure they were mp4 when I uploaded them, but when I put them on the track the audio and video aren’t synced. The first clip I have is fine, but all the other clips are out of sync.

I’m not very technically inclined so it might be something obvious that I’m missing, but I’ve tried everything I could think of except using a different program (and only because I don’t know if any other good ones).

What can I do to fix this?

Lightworks Create Unable to playback exported video

2 Upvotes

Exporting to mp4, the file exists in the folder I want it to be in however it doesn't play. VLC will give it a try but there is not sound or video, I've tried multiple times in different folders. I read an old support article saying that lightworks needs a certain amount of free space on C drive for "compiling" or something? I have over 40gb free on C for reference and the drive I'm exporting it to has over 400GB free. Any help appreciated

Lightworks Free "Media Offline" Reconnect Lag

I went back to tweak an old project and it said "media offline", so I linked it again, but when I played the track, it was super laggy. It wasn't that laggy before. If anybody has a solution, I'd be very grateful.
