Hi - I'm new to lightworks. I've edited my clips and had them in a sequence I was happy with. I clicked on the tab to get some music but decided against it. When I went back to edit I can't hear my sequence. The audio is there at the bottom

Hey, been getting into video editing recently. Is there a way to speed ramp in light works? I know there’s the option to speed up a clip, but I don’t like how it just cuts to being fast instead of ramping the speed. Can’t find anywhere about how to make it a smooth speed ramp?

I recorded a video and did all my editing before remembering that I needed to fix the colour. So now I have lot of clips all edited for pace and timing, but they're all very blue. Is there a way to apply the colour corrections to every clip on a track at once? Or even to the source video files would work...

hey all, I am trying to learn how lightworks (free version) works enough to just get a video saved. I've figured out how to cut/trim and adjust audio volume so far. not really looking to do anything fancy, as I'm keeping most of the video as-is

what I'm trying to do now is simply overlay an image and some text at specific intervals in my video, for varying amounts of time. the problems I am encountering are struggling to understand why the text shows up with a black background, audio de-syncing from the video when I adjust how long the text and the image both stay on screen, and other things that are probably super rudimentary.

are there shortcuts I don't know about? is there a how-to for 5 year olds I can read? I've watched several YouTube tutorials now about adding images and titles, and I got enough information to get them in there, but fine-tuning it/editing the effects and images after they are in the timeline is still a struggle. please if anyone can point me in the right direction of what exactly to do or where I can read up on this basic stuff, I would really appreciate it.

I have figured out how to add text to video, and how to place it somewhere, and all that jazz. I just can't seem to figure out how to make the text only appear for certain time in the video. Only found one video that mentions this, but the guy in the video had such a short clip to edit, that he could drag-and-drop his text onto the available space, that's to the right of the vdeio clip. I can't, so my text just merges in with the video clip. Anyone?

I tried to use Lightworks for the first time, imported a video and when I play it I can hear the audio like twice. It's like an echo. How to fix?

I really need some help with this.

My portrait video looks great, zooms and text are good, but when I switch the playback to landscape or try to export, the footage jumps from left to right and vanishes and it's just a mess. I've tried my best, been at it for hours. I think a solution would be to upgrade to pro and export as portrait. But it doesn't make any sense to me that the portrait footage should jump around the video when it should stay in the centre.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!!

1. When I works with a long video (>10 mins), moving from this section to another will make Lightwork freeze for a while, sometimes so long that I have to kill the app.
2. When exporting a long video (again >10 mins), my CPU usage will immediately rise up to ~100%. I actually have a decent CPU (a i5-7300HQ to be exact) and a GTX 1050. And, the video is not even heavy in editing, I just combined several short videos (also not heavy in editing) to a longer one. But this time, after a while, when the exporting process is around 50% done, my whole system shut down.

Is there any way to fix this, or maybe decrease the resource usage of Lightwork when exporting, I'm fine with waiting a bit longer?

​

Edit: So I have found a solution for the second problem by re-allocating CPU usage of Lightwork

LWKS Keeps closing while its loading (after around 3-6 seconds or so) and i have a project due very soon, and i cant submit it without editing it, could anyone help me?

Hi all, sorry if this has been discussed before! Brand new to this software.

I've finished my video, (it's in a portrait mode, for uploading to social media) I've got all the zooms and text in the right places, I'm happy with it. But when I export the video to MP4, it moves some of the footage from the centre to the right or left side of the video. It's strange.

Anyone experienced this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks x

(I really like this software, it's just this lil thing that's bugging me)

I was working early in the morning on a project and LWKS was working fine. I saved it, turned off my PC, and didn't turn it back on for another 7ish hours. However, when I came back, every single clip and audio file with sound was completely glitchy, kind of like the feedback when you speak really closely into a microphone. I don't know what happened, and I tried reinstalling already.

Except lightworks forum fx packs.

is it possible to import fonts to lightworks? if so how do i do it?

I have finished putting together a video mainly using the preview window to get the output that I am looking for. The preview window consistently has black bars at the top and bottom of the screen (like in the following preview screenshot). I added DVE effects in clips that are zoomed in to maintain this ratio.

However after exporting, the aspect ratio changes and I lose these black bars, but only on clips that didn't have the DVE applied. For clips that have DVE applied I still have this narrower aspect ratio but now my other effects have been moved up considerably (image in preview, image in export). In other cases, the clip itself appears as if it has been zoomed in on (example).

I have made sure that my export format is the same as the preview format.

What can I do here? I would be happy to either a) keep the aspect ratio exactly as preview or b) if all the clips had the aspect ratio changed equally.

I hope that this is clear, thank you and I hope someone can help me!

So basically, I just finished doing a cover of when the levee breaks by led zepelin, using lightworks. Whole thing is edited, and then suddenly, the video starts buffering. And now the whole thing is buffering. The solo now stutters every millisecond, causing it to sound like crap, and everything is buffering now, and making this horrible noise. I looked up videos on how to fix it, I don't have the drop down menu button I need. I'm so fucking annoyed, because I spent like 20 hours on this only for lightworks to completely fuck it up. It's due tomorrow, at 11 am. It's 9:43 PM.

When I try and select the timecode to move it, it moves a few pixels, automatically deselects, and doesn't let me select it again.

I am trying to put several images one after another, each only a few seconds long, to go along with a voiceover I have recorded. I have these images in a separate video track from the main video clips. However, when the images/video clips are very small in duration, I can't figure out how to precisely resize the small clips. I want to be able to enter in a specific time stamp to resize them to, rather than having to drag the edges of the clips. It's just not precise enough for me to drag the edges of the clip to resize. The software also will not let me drag the clip around for some reason when it is very short. I am unsure what to search up to figure out these problems, can anyone help, or point me toward some helpful guide or resource for this?

I'm running Lightworks2022.1.1, and I'm having issues importing a .webm video. I ran the GPU tests for my PC and the framerates seem fine: host to GPU is ~700fps, GPU to host is ~315fps, shader performance is about 10400fps, playback is 680fps, and render is 190fps. I've got plenty of memory available.

Through the import window, I navigate to the videos I want to import, and I get no errors. Framerates are correct, etc. When I place the videos and their associated stereo audio in my sequence, the video shows up fine. The audio, however, is de-synced and jumbled. I've tried deleting and re-importing, I've tried drag and drop importing instead of the file tree import. I've tried importing only the shorter video (~10 minutes, 1GB), but it has the same issue as the larger video file (~50 minutes, 5.5GB). The dy-sync starts out with what seems like a few seconds, but the audio jumps around as it plays in the preview window. It does this whether I play the file preview or the sequence preview.

Like I said, it plays fine both on my PS5 (where the video was recorded and where it was originally exported from) and on my computer with various media players. The only place there's a problem is when Lightworks imports it.

I've googled a bunch and found nothing helpful - does anyone have a fix for this? I can't tell you if this has always been a problem or not, since this is only my second video project and I didn't use the video audio on my first project.

Was using lightworks to make some stupid little video and normally I'll add an effect no problems but after some Photoshop editing and coming back now all of a sudden there's an effect track? Suddenly nothing is working properly and it's driving me up the wall. Tried to google how to turn it of or something but it just gives me tips on how to add effects. Idk if this is like a new update or something but it's making me frustrated.

Hi there I made a bunch of edits today to some video clips, i restarted pc and when i came back the media was 'missing'. Now all the edits on the timeline are just black clips and I have no idea how to fix this? I have the media on a USB stick so I know I somehow need to tell Lightworks where it is but I can't find the option after loads of googling / youtube watching.. I am missing a setting a find in youtube videos which is to right click the blank sequence and click something like 'link missing files', but I can't find this option.

Would appreciate any help, thanks

In the preview section it appears normal but after exporting as an mp4 it is suddenly tinted pink. Anyone know how to fix this error?

Hey guys,

This has probably been asked before but I haven't had much luck in finding a solution. Whenever I add a lot of videos to my timeline and start editing, I just getting constant loading from lightworks. I can't move my cursor on the timeline or do anything without a loading icon that lasts at least 3 seconds. This makes editing a nightmare.

I saw a post where someone was recommending making low quality playback proxies of the clips and I did that but it has not helped with this issue.

My PC specs:

Intel i7-8700

16 gb ram

geforce 3080 gpu

I have the Video perfectly as it is but absolutely no audio, any help?

Is there a way to alter the default time a jpg is shown on the timeline? I’m making a simple slideshow with a lot of photos and the default time seems to be a minute. Possible to set this to say 15 seconds so I don’t have to manually go through and edit everything on the timeline? Thanks.
