Lightworks: Editing Basics (Part 6) Video Lecture | Lightworks Video Editing: Basics to Pro - Video & Sound Editing

[Music]
hey guys what's up TV here I've got
another Lightworks tutorial on basic
editing and adding clips to the timeline
in Lightworks beta so you get started
here you can see we've picked up from
our last tutorial which was importing
media into the Lightworks program you
can see we have our importing media bin
open with our different clips in here as
well now first off I'm just going to say
these clips at the top here and here are
from our recent short film the winter
war which is still being edited at the
moment but these are just some clips
that you're going to maybe see a little
sneak peek from throughout the video so
all you're going to want to look forward
to that and then we have a bunch of
other random clips from the seeking
trailer and a couple other things down
here so in this tutorial what I'm going
to be showing you how to do is to begin
a new edit by putting all your clips in
using the different audio and video
tracks to your advantage and getting
prepared for the next videos which
include adding effects and transitions
to your work so the first thing you want
to do is go over to the toolbar on the
left hand side of the screen and select
to create a new edit tool this is going
to open up a new edit timeline and a new
edit preview screen and basically before
we do anything else you want to adjust
the timeline edit view to a way that's
suitable for you based on the size so
you can drag it from the corners you can
stretch it horizontally compress it
horizontally and do the same vertically
as well and then you have the preview
screen up here now an important thing to
tell you before you actually start
editing because this is something you're
going to notice immediately is that if
there is no red boxes around the
timeline and the preview screen you're
not able to change the clips that are in
that at the moment so what you have to
do if you're switching between rooms or
different edits like if you had another
edit open you have to click record down
at the bottom to turn it red and then
you're able to edit the stuff that's
within that timeline so what I want to
do first is actually add 100 global to
the beginning of this timeline but this
positioning my positioning my cursor at
the start of the timeline and then
dragging this on to the preview screen
and it's going to show up in purple on
the timeline below and then the next
thing I want to do is I want to position
my cursor all the way and so you see
here you have the opening logo yeah yeah
and then what I want to do is position
my cursor all the way to the right of
that clip from the point where it goes
the last from the video to a black
screen that indicates that you're ready
for your next clip to be added to the
timeline so I'm going to go ahead and do
that simply by dragging this from the
import bin and right onto the timeline
then we can get rid of that clipboard
clip there and then you can see that you
have your opening logo and then you also
have your footage from your first scene
there now another option you can do to
go about adding it to a timeline so
going over here clicking on this preview
window and then popping out the tile by
doing that but that's just an extra step
and it's a lot easier just to simply
drag it from your bin right onto there
which is why I like bins and racks so
much because they're so convenient and
so useful now one thing that I really
wanted to show you is when you have your
club you get to the end here it goes
from the last frame to a black screen
what you can do is you can add videos or
audio to different tracks like which is
useful if you're using pngs or title
sequences that have an alpha channel
background then you want to have on top
of the current video now I don't have
one of those available at the moment but
what I am going to do is show you
exactly how you can go about doing that
now if you go ahead and click right
click on a blank spot of your timeline
and then select add tracks what you can
do you can add video tracks or audio
tracks by choosing the drop-down menu at
the top you can choose how many you want
to add then you can choose a name for it
whatever or before after the current one
then you click on do it and what that's
gonna do is add in a new video or audio
track above the original one so you see
we have our opening logo here obviously
and we have our next video clip here
which is actually on the border of in
our new short film but you'll see more
about that if you check out the
production log or our upcoming trailer
as well but that's not what I'm talking
about in this tutorial so I'm going to
move on umm I'm going to do now just to
move this up a little bit cuz I stretch
that timeline out I'm going to add my
next clip you can see I went from clip
to last frame to the black there and
then I'm going to add in this clip of
the sky oh wait I'm sorry I got
sidetracked in there what I wanted to do
is show you how to add a video clip to
video track one rather video track two
by the to do that what you want to do is
deselect video track 2 so you want to
deselect the track so you don't want to
use so I'm going to deselect the video
track 2 and it's going to grayed out but
your footage is still there don't work
oh and then what I'm going to do is
position the cursor like I did before
I'm just going to drag this nice sky
clip onto the preview screen and if i
zoom out oh wait my bad that was an
image not a video clip good undo that
that was my fault
I meant to drag in a video clip which if
I do that lets see a mess with my hole
at high so now if I drag to the
equipment that's going to work perfectly
so you see we re enable video track 2
you have your footage there and then you
jump from a video track to the video
track 1 which has your new video from
the seeking trailer now if you say you
wanted to add in a video clip but you
didn't want to have audio tracks 1 2 you
want to have audio track 3 because you
have an unique sound that you want hurt
what you do is you right-click in a
buying spot click add tracks go ahead
add an audio track click on do it close
this window and then you can do it can
stretch this out a little bit and then
what you want to do is deselect all the
tracks you don't want to be using so I'm
going to switch to use video track to an
audio track 3 which means I'm going to
deselect video track 1 audio 1 on audio
to a position my cursor there I'm going
to drag my next video clip right on top
of that drop it into there and then I'm
going to be using video track 2 audio
track the right turn on the ones that
had turned off and now you can see that
you have your new video clip here as
well so I'm hoping this is working out a
little bit better for you with the
specifics these more detailed gets
tutorial videos I guess you could call
it and to wrap this one up I'm just
going to show you how to add your
credits or closing logos to your video
which can be done which is actually a
really nice transition here because you
see the actors are running off-screen
and then it's just going to kind of fade
out and I'm going to add in my subscribe
closing logo or you can add in your
credits if you're using a film so I
my cursor and actually I want to make
this one being video track 1 audio
tracks 1 so I'm going to deselect these
and then I'm just going to import or
drag this to the preview screen drop it
into place
and then you see it has a salmon color
and it tells you to yeah well it should
tell me to subscribe but it didn't work
all I know right to that and that was my
fault in Vegas but don't worry it's not
like works like work looks better
actually but anyway you can see you can
see out in my video at the end of this
video actually it'll tell you to please
subscribe and it'll be a nice fancy
subscribe below go so anyway um I hope
that this was helpful for you and if you

other ones that we're working on at the
moment and including another short film
