Lightworks supports “mark and park.” Play a clip in the Source viewer to where action starts. Perhaps I was channeling the original designers of the Lightworks system because I had seen Lightworks earlier at NAB 1993.įilm traditionally was edited on a flatbed (Figure 1) or Moviola (Figure 14), both of which inherently work in the time domain. These include: lasso one or more cut-points, enter one of several modes, select one of several edit tools, place the cursor in the lower or upper area of a track, and drag the Source viewer image to one of many icons on the Record viewer. This sentence appears in my 1994 review of Premiere 3.0: “It's time a nonlinear editing program was developed that enables editors to work rapidly and directly in the time domain.”Įach time I review an NLE I silently rant about the methods software engineers devise for editing film and video.
It also re-frames Lightworks’ editing conventions to match the new Lightworks.ĭownload the Lightworks V14 Addendum at: Download the DVCkeyboard.prefs file at: Prepare to Enter the Time Domain This motivated my creation of a mnemonic (easy-to-learn and easy-to-remember) set of keyboard shortcuts. For example, to Add Tracks you press delete. If you prefer using the keyboard rather than clicking on-screen buttons, you’ll find the Lightworks’ default keyboard shortcuts a bit strange. As shown by Figure 13, the low data-rate (1.18Mbps), h.264 proxy images are too small to be clear in a Viewer and become blurry when upscaled for full-screen viewing. Unfortunately, all formats are downscaled by Lightworks to 426x240-pixel video. After conversion, Lightworks can edit the ProRes 422 compatible files.Īfter importing media, the Pro version supports 720p, 1080, and 2160p proxy editing. On a PC, the Jihosoft Media Converter ( will transcode SD, 1080p, and 2160p h.264-based media to any flavor of ProRes 422. To edit 2160p media, batch transcode it using the Jihosoft Media Converter application ( Now you can import the ProRes compatible files into Lightworks. On a Mac, Lightworks will transcode SD and 1080p h.264-based media to any flavor of ProRes 422. Transcoding these files during import would significantly increase editing performance.
Although the non-Pro and Pro versions can import and edit h.264-based 2160p media (AF-AVC and XAVC), editing performance is only marginally acceptable. RED R3D, ProRes 422, AVCHD, XAVC-I, AVC-Intra, MPEG-2, XDCAM, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DPX, and CinemaDNG are on the import codec list. Double-clicking a clip brings it into the Source viewer. Lightworks 14 provides edit capabilities in the LOG window: clips can be played clips can be marked and clips can be sent directly to a timeline.
