Lightworks: Adding Effects (Part 8) Video Lecture | Lightworks Video Editing: Basics to Pro - Video & Sound Editing

hey guys Stevie here got another
Lightworks editing tutorial is part of
our in-depth series on Lightworks
editing our last tutorial dealt with
cutting within light works as you can
see we have the different cuts here that
we've made before you then it moved
footage around within our timeline and
now the next step of course is going to
be to obviously add some effects to the
videos now Lightworks feet includes or
features several different effects that
can be used including some saturation
color correction and then some other
general effects so you can see here I
have my opening or introduction here
which I made in After Effects I'm
actually quite happy with it so I'm
going to leave that alone I'm not going
to add any effects to that however my
next scene you can see was shot in the
snow so it's very bright as you can see
the colors kind of got a little washed
out now the tty this happens on and I
have a very specific way I go about
color correcting my footage within
vision lab and after effects but I
thought you know what might as well give
it a try within Lightworks beta so what
I can do is start I go to the very
beginning of that clip right on the
timeline right about there that's ready
to start my clip go down here to the
bottom of the timeline select
effects the effects tab and then you go
up here and you can select the different
effects that you want to deal with so
the keying of course some mixes with
your transitions top the titles but I
wanted I'm dealing with color right now
some color correction so I click on
color you can see there's a number of
different effects you can uh you can
change a little bit but I want to select
the first color correction method
because it gives me a different a bunch
of different things I can change some
different elements and such now the
important part that you want to deal
with right before you get started on the
effect is where you want the region to
be included so you could do from here
which is going to start the effect right
here and continue it 96 frames that way
or eight twelve sixteen multiples of
whatever is multiples of eight or not
eight four maybe yeah I believe it's
four but regardless um or you could use
centered here or two here whatever you
want to do with that and if I click out
of that
go ahead and click on add let's have
changed its settings
turn these colors on and then if I come
down here I can adjust the shadows a
little bit want to bring that up and
that over there a little bit now this is
of course can be different depending on
your individual video clip but this is
the settings I'm using at the moment and
some highlights and then if I come down
here I can change the saturation I'll
lower it it will actually raise it just
a little but these are very minor
selections but they obviously make a
great difference once your video is done
if I bring the contrast down just a
little and then bring the brightness
down a little bit and then the game can
go up actually I'll leave that just
about the same I added a little bit to
it and now at the bottom here you can
see that there's this thing for
keyframing which is something that
vision lab at reddit that gal that
vision lab and After Effects make great
deal of use of and it's very convenient
in those programs so there's no reason
it shouldn't be in this program as well
so you can see of course we have that
our we had our change our changes for
the effect and this little timeline here
for the keyframes will only include this
96 frame window it won't include the
rest of the timeline which you can
obviously see if you go down here gets
right to the edge of our grading I guess
you could call it now if you wanted to
adjust the settings so that once it got
to say like the middle of the video clip
like right about here you wanted to
start becoming darker what you could do
is you could add a keyframe here and
then you could go up and adjust the
brightness and you could bring that down
a little bit or whatever you wanted to
do and that is going to do is make your
clip darker at that one specific point
and it'll gradually get darker as you
approach that one point within your
video clip so you could do that but I
think I'm just going to leave it like
this because it actually looks pretty
good so when I'm finished I'm going to
go ahead and click close or click the X
at the top of that effects window is
open that back up and basically we have
our color correction right there it
looks
little bit better and then you could do
the same kind of thing for some of these
other clips as well like for this one
that would be perfect is making some
kind of color correction there or even a
color tint okay will be pretty good so
what I could do is find a good color
tint that works for me and don't be that
quite that intense but actually that
looks pretty nice
all right about there looks pretty good
it's kind of it's more of a I don't know
what you've got more grayed out um it
looks a little bit more realistic a
little bit darker because it's kind of a
dark stage of the film which you'll see
and that looks pretty good I think I'm
gonna go ahead and leave that like that
and then I have the rest of my video
here which we cut in the last tutorial
I'm going to leave that pretty much
alone I think I don't think I need to do
any real grading with that I mean I
could do a little bit of color
correcting here but these colors are
actually pretty decent except for the
sky that's something that I'd use vision
lab or After Effects to do kind of a sky
replacement which is easy because it's
all kind of washed out but regardless
that's pretty much effects within light
works I mean if you went over and did
the effects tab there's some different
ones that you could choose including
like some perspectives you could do flip
a whop um which I guess would fit
horizontally let's go ahead and try that
yeah there you go it does a horizontal
flip and you have the keyframe options
out at the bottom here as well and yet
so anyway um there's a bunch of
different effects you can explore that a
bit more when you have some free time or
whatever but I and you can split the
screen whatever um I like the effect
stuff within light works there's a bunch
of different options and I think that
there might be a way to import premiere
effects packages into light works but
I'm not entirely sure I'll get back to
you on that one but hopefully these
tutorials are helping you a little bit
hopefully this gives you a little bit
more of an idea of what you're doing and

you next time
