Lightworks: Importing Media (Part 2) Video Lecture | Lightworks Video Editing: Basics to Pro - Video & Sound Editing

[Music]
hey guys DV here I've got another
Lightworks tutorial for you this one is
on importing and capturing footage for
your videos so we're going to go ahead
and set a new project which you can
consult our last video for information
on changing the settings and setting up
the new project for more detailed
information so the first tool we're
going to look at in the toolbox is the
capture or record tool so we can click
on that now we can choose the device or
the input method by selecting either one
of these that we've used in the past or
by adding a new one so we're going to go
ahead and add a new one
which is done by simply adding a new
name so say we decide DV cam this time
and then we go under here and select
custom or we can choose one of these
presets for a microphone or some kind of
camera whatever you like so you can go
ahead and select one of these like I'm
going to say let's see I'm going to
input from this today we're actually DV
cam will do that that message my name
too which is kind of funny and then you
can choose video output control some of
these different options such as see
which ones have maybe one in the
microphone but some of them you can
choose your audio and video outputs and
the audio output number but we're just
going to just save this as what glitch
is that and then we have the video
output as well there so then we can go
ahead and click on do it and then it's
going to open up a new window which has
some different information about
connections which like 1 3 9 4 is
firewire or there's an STI connection
now I don't actually have a device
connected as you'll find out in a couple
minutes because the only cameras I have
at the moment or a hard drive 1 which is
AVC HD and doesn't support firewire and
I have the tty which is a memory card
camera of course and doesn't need to be
captured from so you can choose again
your connection type on some different
options down here and then you can
choose the labels which make it easier
for you in post to organize your media
and put everything together so once
you've got the settings that you desire
you can go ahead and click on close top
there come over here you can choose your
video format which is number of options
or pal ntsc widescreen formats HD to
for K I believe it's at the bottom
rather than your import source of course
and then you also have the compression
type you can change that your file types
as well on your destination Drive and
then the recording type manual or
voiceover whatever and then you can
choose your audio or video tracks you
can turn them off as you as you please
and you can either click on standby to
do this later or you can go ahead and
click on record to capture from your new
device so if we go ahead and click on
that I get a message of course cuz I
don't have anything connected but if you
have something connected it's going to
start to record and I'll have a record
window open up for it
so we're going to go ahead and click on
closed for that and then I'm going to
show you the second tool which is the
import from say files folders or hard
drives so to get started you can go up
to the top here because you some
shortcuts to your desktop to document
folders but where I'm interested in
doing right now is from the local hard
drives the C Drive is my OS drive and
then I have three secondary drives which
have all my video files on them as you
can see they're getting pretty much
foiled up considering some of these are
2 terabyte drives so if I go ahead and
click on hard drive 4 and go into my
video folder and then I'll go under the
seeking trailer and I'll scroll down to
find my t2i
file types and you go ahead and start
importing those let me go ahead and
click on ok and now say I forgot to add
one of the files that I want you go
ahead down here on the left hand corner
the bottom there select choose then I
can scroll down and select one that I'd
like to import so I think I want to
import 47 ok and 48 and then oh if I
wanted to check and see what 49 was
before I imported it I can go select
that so it's highlighted blue and click
on preview and see it open up a small
preview window we're just going to have
kind of video of this might have been
from the Eclipse I'm not even sure but
anyway you have about that and then you
can go ahead and close that window where
you can just select other ones you like
and it'll just become an empty empty
window now you can click on OK when you
have set and then you can select them
all by simply selecting that which is
the check all button and then that'll
select them all for import you can
choose some of the differ
options for format depending on your
media type and then of course the
encoding options which I usually select
copy local some actually changing the
original footage or file types but you
can also choose create link or transcode
and then when you do that you can also
usually select your video types the
import method on the compression types
as well and then of course your file
type as well by Omega and you go back to
copy local so I don't accidentally screw
anything up
now there's also some options up here
that you can choose as far as the window
is concerned and some of those options
as well but we're not going to go into
those right now but you can feel free to
explore those on your own and if you
have any questions of course we'd be
happy to answer those now say I didn't
want to actually import to 5:41 say I
decided that that's not the file I
wanted I can either import it and delete
it where I can just uncheck that box
there and it will not import them so
once I've got everything set I can go
ahead and click on start and it's going
to begin importing every video file that
I have selected in the previous window
as you can see it's extracting the audio
channels is gathering the video files
now this is going to take a couple of
seconds and this is where having the
extra couple gigabytes of RAM or a
faster harddrive or processor is really
going to be something that's very useful
for you um to speed up the process but
nevertheless it only takes a couple of
seconds probably bout 20 and I have some
pretty decent size to HD files here and
now of course it's going to open up your
import box with all the titles for all
your different videos that you've
selected to import and now there's
number of things you can do with this
including organizing it into bins and
then those bins into racks but I'm not
gonna go into that in this tutorial make
sure you check out a next one which is
coming in just a few days thanks for
watching guys I hope these are helping
let us know if you have any suggestions
and we're going to be continuing our
series throughout the week thanks guys
you
