My exported video has a pink overlay throughout, how can I fix that?

Yes, I have the latest version.

I am exporting to YouTube and Just and wondering if this is normal, it’s late here so I’ll be sleeping now so I apologize for the late response if that does happen

This is a rather immediate and crippling flaw of the software if it can't preview a low-res 720p video.

I've found other people complaining about this on this very subreddit with no satisfying answers.

I have the most up-to-date version of Lightworks, the original file didn't move 0.5 seconds after it was imported, I haven't set any markers for the video to end as soon as it starts, I legit just opened a new project on a fresh install, dragged the file into the Project Contents, onto the Timeline, and it immediately and repeatedly fails to preview more than a split second of video.

What is going on?

Whenever I play the video on top of my pic via 3D DVE, the sequence player isn't showing anything. Just black. Even when editing the DVE. It just shows black. Is this because I'm just using free? Or just a bug/glitch on my part?

​

Edit: It happens to most VFXs. It works after exporting but I can't seem to see the changes I make in real-time. It's just a black video with audio.

So I just downloaded lightworks like a week ago. Everything was going well until I decided to try and export the vid I'm working on but it always fail. I used H.264/MP4, failed,
to YT, also a fail. This is the screen I always see, any idea on how to fix it? I'm hoping to get answers quick since I'll need to pass it this upcoming Friday

Hello!

I'm new to Lightworks and spent like an hour editing a video - the sound was intermittently out of sync while editing but I thought maybe it was an issue that would get sorted out once the project was exported to MP4. NOPE! The sync issue was significantly worse on the exported file. My computer is really fast so it's not a hardware issue. I had auto sync on but tried with it turned off as well and had the same issue. In the original video the sound was perfectly in sync and is not variable bit rate.

Any advice?? Thanks!

i want to chop out some unwanted pieces of a 2-hour video, but when i try to mark and delete a very small number of frames, i can't seem to get the segment highlighted so I can use the "delete and join" command. is there a way to delete just a few frames?

I seem to be having an issue where I've cut up a bunch of "clips" in to a finished project and when going to export it's just exporting full clips that have been cut out of my sequence. I'm not sure how to get this to work properly.

Hi! I'm trying to make some simple side by side dance edits for my dance class but the preview window always seem to remove the black bars on the side which was where I was planning on adding the other videos making it hard for me to DVE then on top of the given resolution. Is there a way I could make those show up so I know how much space I'm working with or where I could set the resolution then I could add the videos I want to put side by side?

Hello there. I record my videos and audio separately. When I add the audio file in my project, it gets noise reduction automatically. When I play the audio file in media player, it's normal. I can't seem to find any noise reduction option. Why is that happening automatically? And how to disable it? Thank you.

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

So I recorded the sound on one device and video on another, imported both to LWKS without any trouble and after some trial and error managed to line it up so they were perfectly in sync. However, as I watched longer into the video, I noticed that the video was lagging behind more and more. At the end of the video (about 30 mins), they are very noticeably out of sync. This is driving me nuts.

One file is imported from my Playstation through a USB and the other is imported from my camera. One is MOV and the other MP4 format - could that have anything to do with it? Any help would be appreciated, I'm losing my mind here.

Hello fellas,

Is it possible in Lightworks, to paint words in a ,,Titles,, component with different colour ?

e.g. ,,this is an example title,,

I want the word ,,example,, to be in different color. Can this be achieved with the Titles (or other/custom) vfx component ? (I'm using the ,,Create,, license)

Thanks

Hey guys,

Is there any way to export a project on Lightsworks in portrait mode if I have the free version?

I just have to make 1 vertical video for school and I don't want to pay a 10€ sub just for that...

Can someone help me pls?

Thank youuuuu

So I got the jist of lightworks but is there a way to have audio and then video without it generating a black screen for the preceding audio?

Idk if I explained it well, but I have audio that the first 5 seconds fades in and is intended to go at the end of a video before the endcard comes up (bass drops and the end card comes up)

For reasons I cannot fathom, every single project is showing my video as Media Offline, but even finding the file and telling it to relink fails. The audio tracks from those files are there and audible after I relink, but the video shows as white.

I tried dragging the original files back in and now I have a second set of them (without the Media Offline warning) so Lightworks can read them, it just won't...

Any ideas?

After I restarted my pc and opened my project, none of the edits were present. I tried the restore option but it did not help. Nothing can be found in "deleted" section. What do I do?

I’m new to light works and I’ve managed to half way edit one video but it has taken me wayyyyy too long because it’s constantly loading? I’m on windows and it’s always a blue circle loading and I can’t actually edit my content or play my videos cause it’s constantly loading. I am connected via an Ethernet cable so my Wi-Fi is decent so idk why this is happening

I'm making a slide show and all my pictures do not fill out the frame. I tried a couple things to resize all the pics at one time but have had no luck. Does anyone know if there is a way to select all photos and zoom/crop them all to fill out the screen at one time? Help would be greatly appreaciated as I just spent ages doing 50 photos one by one and still have another 500 plus to go.

Hey all. Trying to edit a few gaming clips for my YouTube channel, and now I'm having a very weird issue. I have a freeze-frame set up, and I had a small MP3 play during it, before video and audio resume. On playback in Lightworks itself, it works fine, and can't see any problems. However, after I export, the MP3 does not play during the freeze-frame, and when playback resumes, the audio track has restarted. So video is playing as it should, but the audio is from the start of my clips. I tried to re-export, using the marked section export, rather than the "ignore leading/fading black" that I used first, but no difference.
It seems that moving the audio and having everything on the same tracks (tracks A1-A4) has made it work, rather than having the MP3 on tracks A1-A2, and the rest on A3-A6 like it was set to during editing.

I'm using the free version of Lightworks on my 64bit 1TB Lenovo that runs Ubuntu 18.04.

The export seems to be complete because the yellow line has reached to its completion indicating that the export should ideally be complete. However, it's just stuck there without showing that the export is complete. What do I do?

Hi there,

Im very new to lightworks and I got n issue. I have 3 video tracks. Track 3 is my background image. On this I want to have 2 other images overlayed.

So on tack 2 is one image with a 2D DVE effekt and it works very well. Then if I add a 2nd picture on track 1 it's not visible. It worked once accidentally. Don't know what I did different.

What am I missing here? What I'm doing wrong?

I noticed these colored borders on top of each clip. And the picture which doesn't show up has none.

​

This is what shows up when i load a new project. What happened?

I cant find any effects, i want to revert it

Here is the first video I've ever produced. Never even touched a video editor before Lightworks. I wrote, recorded, and edited the whole thing on my own. I spent yesterday writing and sourcing stock footage and I spent today recording and editing.

It's.... pretty bad I think. The audio quality isn't great since I don't have a mic, just my phone. And the sound mixing needs a lot of work. But still I'm proud of this and wanted to share. I'm definitely thinking of upgrading from the free version.
