I wish there was a Help option within the software, though. LWKS was updating the Forum at the time of this review and while they have an excellent beginner’s video tutorial on YouTube, you may have to wait for them to produce more advanced tutorials for the latest version. Your best bet is to visit the community and read through the guides or head over to YouTube and watch one of the many helpful videos. There are numerous drop-down menus for a variety of tasks. (These can be turned on/off in settings.) As you explore the interface, a series of tooltips introduces the various components and features with brief but useful explanations to get you started. VFX provides access to a variety of effects (fades, presets, etc.), as well as color adjustments, text and more - all very useful for practical and creative fine-tuning.Īudio delivers a wide range of sound controls. Edit is self-explanatory and you’ll spend most of your time in this workspace. Log, for example, allows you to enter additional metadata, adjust timeline settings, work with cue markers and more. Each provides its own unique set of tools and options. What's more, those experienced with non-linear video editing will find plenty of advanced features to produce a polished video, even in the free version reviewed here.įour tabs at the top of the main window provide access to LWKS’ main workspaces: Log, Edit, VFX and Audio. But don't go thinking that long list of award-winning film credits means it's for professionals only: the free version of Lightworks is generally consumer friendly and will be more than enough for most basic editing tasks.
