Open up the application and inhale deeply as you gaze into the calming, blue interface. If you haven’t already done so, visit to download and install Lightworks.
In this introductory lesson, we’ll create our first project and take a high-level tour of the Lightworks toolset. The Lightworks way of editing can be daunting even for those familiar with other modern NLEs, but I guarantee you’ll be a better, more efficient editor once you master it. Because Lightworks is so steeped in film editing history, it’s interface and workflow can be overwhelming for the uninitiated. It’s a redundant term in regards to editing software, as all digital video editors are non-linear by nature. You’ll often hear video editing software referred to as “non-linear editors” (NLEs), which is just a fancy way of saying that video clips can be cut, trimmed, and spliced out of order while preserving the integrity of the source material. Lightworks was made with film industry veterans in mind enhancing the inherently linear workflow with non-destructive tools. Being at the forefront of the digital film editing revolution, much of the terminology and techniques used throughout the application honor the tradition of hand-cut films.
While Lightworks has only been available to the general public for a few short years, this award-winning editing suite has been servicing film industry professionals since the early 1990s.
