To use effects it's as easy as selecting the option and dragging that onto the clip. A little frustrating but something you can work with when you realize it works that way. This means easy selection and dragging to edit the end or start point.Ī gripe is that when you move a video layer it won't automatically move the audio too, even if the audio and video are linked. We enjoy the ability to hover over clips to have handles appear at either end with the highlighted portion on the internal or external side of that end. When editing you have multiple layers allowing you to preview clips, set in and out points and more. This is where another free video editor, DaVinci Resolve, has an edge over Lightworks.
Cost of lightworks pro 720p#
A great thing for getting started but it covers a fatal flaw – exports for the free version are limited to 720p only. You start by picking the framerate of the clip you're importing, without the worry of deciding the export format resolution at this point.
That said, there are different levels of the program available with features missing in the free version which may be available in the paid ones – more on that below. You also have support for multicam editing, powerful trimming functionality, realtime effects with built-in presets, Boris FX, group project sharing, hardware I/O support and a customizable interface.
This also applies in exporting, where you can export two file formats at the same time, for example. Lightworks offers background rendering meaning you can import clips while working on your current part of the project, without having to stop and wait for the upload. You can automatically have the video files rendered ready for YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook or Instagram upload, with direct uploads in the case of YouTube. Lightworks is social, meaning it exports clips in a format that is very easy to share.
