Lightworks: Bin Tutorial (Part 5) Video Lecture | Lightworks Video Editing: Basics to Pro - Video & Sound Editing

hey guys
TV here I've got another tutorial for
you I'm Lightworks today I'm gonna make
it a little bit more specific on the
requests of Kumble you from ethics home
YouTube and all it works community to
make some more specific tutorials
dealing with some of the different
features of light works and so basically
we're gonna be talking about bins today
and to get started I'm gonna go ahead
and I've already created a new room this
is for a clean workspace so I'm gonna go
ahead and import a couple of Clips so we
can get working here so I'm going to
scroll down and just select a few
different ones um see probably talked
about let's see seven or eight okay and
I'm gonna cover more of this with the
importing in a future video or in
another one but basically you can see
here there's some different options you
can change but I think I mean I leave it
all the same right now I'm not gonna
mess with any of that so I'm gonna go
ahead and click start and this can't
begin to import each video clip um so
we're gonna go ahead and get started
with the bins and just a moment says one
or two more left
okay perfect and now we can see we have
the import window open with all the
different imports so if I go ahead and
left click and right-click on the video
I can drag it onto the workspace in the
form of a thumbnail we can go ahead and
do that with each one of these and these
are all video clips from my or trailer
the seeking from the excellent
competition and we're just dragged out
into the workspace that there okay
so now I get started with the bins what
I'm gonna do is go ahead and create a
new bin just um by doing this bins are
basically a space for organizing your
video clips um you can do different
edits you can change a lot of the
options and they're actually pretty cool
so if I go ahead I'm going to move this
clip into the first bin here which I'm
going to name this actually right now
I'm going to name this tutorial
what and there's a reason I'm doing that
and I'm gonna go ahead and move this
second clip into here and see maybe this
one and I think this one so you have a
range of different ones and um I think
this one actually want to import but I
want to make a copy of it so I'm going
to go ahead and click on the two over
viewer and if I come down to here I can
go ahead and make a copy of this and
it's gonna drag a thumbnail copy there
you know I can move this one back out to
have the original so have the original
and I have a copy of the original so I'm
gonna move the copy into this bin here
and I'm gonna leave these video clips
for the second button we're gonna create
so now there's a number of options you
can change for the bin which is done by
either going here which changes the view
of the bin with to a list like this with
some information or you can choose both
which includes a a thumbnail here as
well as some important information or
you can do just a simple title like this
and then you can go ahead under here and
change some of the options for the bin
including permanence which is either
gonna be a permanent bin which will be
categorized by a green title here or a
temporary bin which will have a blue
title so basically the difference is a
permanent will remain is a bin even
after you've closed it and then you can
search it and reopen it whereas a a
temporary bin once it's closed it'll be
gone unless you undo it like undo the
closing of the of the bin but I'm gonna
set this from the permanent so I can
show you a pretty cool effect later on
alright so now we have our permanent bin
here and we can go ahead and change some
of the others other settings which will
include gene the title size you can
either select the larger tile size or a
smaller one so we go ahead and click
smaller you can see it kind of shrinks
them down a little bit but you know the
larger will make it easier for me to see
them so um you can go to automatic
positioning as well just gonna move them
around kind of put them in a more
organized workspace so we're gonna go
ahead and click on yes for that and you
can see it's done that and if you
extended this a little bit it'll even
move them up on to some of the
other options will include sorting which
can be done by other criteria the
compression type to date even the
duration or the end time notes name so
let's see if we're gonna go ahead and do
this by duration it was just you can see
has changed the order a little bit some
of the other settings is gonna include
aam see moving them to another project
we're copying them to another project if
you want to leave a copy in this
workspace cluster remove duplicates from
other bins so if you clicked on that
there's another bin open that had say
two five seven five in it as well
it would remove that um Ruby would also
remove that from one of the bins so if
you went up to the options again you
could merge bins which actually we're
gonna do right now so we're gonna go
ahead and create a second bin we're
gonna name this see - twirl - and we're
going to go ahead and move these
remaining files into here and it's also
sort that okay so now if we go back to
the original bin you can see this two of
them here if we went over it here merged
bins it's gonna move all the files from
this bin into this one so now you can
see we have was that nine different ones
some of the other options are going to
include aam to find materials to fill
edits let's see that one those okay you
can make copies of them this is gonna
all be fur at its quality c.replace um
distant material you probably don't
wanna do that you probably want to make
this having me copy those actually I'm
very short that is saying that's a
little bit different than Vegas but
we're not gonna mess with that at the
moment um if we figure that out alright
you know um let's see we also have
synchronizing saving to a text file
alright let's cover that you can see
this you can change the name and the
skin make it like kind of um you know
like a playlist where you save it as a
text file
it's basically what this is gonna do so
you could change your destination see
put it on the desktop and you can change
the file type and then clicked it and
save the contents of
toriel one the desktop perfect oh let's
see some of the other options are gonna
include making an edit what making a
vlog and database okay so you can change
again the location handle seconds
nor picture yeah you could include the
picture and click do it and now has
saved a login database to one of my
folders in my computer great oh let's
see oh you can also make a new bin which
is gonna make a copy of that and this
one is gonna be temporary so you can see
by the blue title rather than the green
one so you could obviously make that one
permanent by just selecting permanent
but we're gonna close that for right now
so finally the last one that I want to
talk about is making an edit basically
what that's gonna do is combine all
these video clips into one timeline
where you can edit them so if we go
ahead and click make edit that is opened
up this and it's categorized as an edit
by this red kind of banner there so
we're gonna go ahead and open up that
and you can see we have see if we open
that up we can open it for editing now
by clicking record and now you have a
pretty cool timeline alright so right
here we have our timeline oh another
interesting thing if we undo the Edit
here go back to the bin let's close that
for a moment what you could do and this
is really what the useful feature I see
if the bin really is besides just
organize them if you open the pod viewer
and made a timeline out of this clip ok
and select edit on that because you can
only have one edit open at a time as we
know from our last tour you can click
delete and then you can remove this
second part here but I just can remove
and now you have that edited there so
right close that you're going to make
see pop out the title and now you have
your edit here clipboard thing which is
kind of annoying and you have edit 9 so
we'll get rid of this second copy of it
yes and then if we went ahead and made a
new edit we have our entire bin is in
one edit now which is available to view
right here you can see each clips
combined together
which is definitely very useful yeah so
because you could edit each individual
clip and then add them all to the
timeline at once by throwing them into a
bin and making an edit of that bin so
that's definitely how I'll probably be
using this bin for under my editing
workflow but of course there's a number
of different uses and if you want you
can come out on your favorite use for
the bin below as well as with any
questions you have regarding bins or
light works in general
