Lightworks: Rendering Tutorial (Part 18) Video Lecture | Lightworks Video Editing: Basics to Pro - Video & Sound Editing

hey everyone I have another tutorial for
you today this is a light works tutorial
we'll talk about rendering and exporting
this has been a source of a lot of
questions and comments from a lot of
users and I'm happy to address some of
the main problems that I've been
receiving
so basically rendering and exporting is
the process of turning your video into a
file that can be viewed by others when
you save your project with Lightworks
when you go ahead and you close the
program it automatically save your
project files and everything that's open
the way you see it here but in order to
make that viewable to upload it online
or to share it you're gonna have to go
one step further and you'd have to
export the video and I'm gonna show you
how to do that here there's a number of
ways you can do it there's a number of
different things that you can tell the
program to export you can export bins
racks you can also export your edit and
your timeline ok so once you're ready to
export your project you can go over to
the toolbox you can click on this export
tool and it's going to open up a box
with a bunch of options the first thing
that you can change is the content what
you want to export you can export the
entire project you can export bins and
racks or you can export active logs such
as the timeline and individual clips as
you see down here I'm gonna export the
timeline in this open edit window here
project edit and then you can go down
you can change the format and
compression settings as well as
framerate and size of the video so you
can choose the format for the video as
well this is the traditional file types
such as avi MOV MPEG QuickTime ABC HD
and there's also blu-ray and DVD options
for those of you using the pro version
you also can choose the compressions
codec here as well this is going to
determine the file size and quality of
the video if you use an uncompressed
format you're gonna have very large file
sizes you use one of these codecs or one
of the matrix
VFW codecs available online here you
have smaller file size but you're gonna
have good quality as well and you can
also choose the framerate and size of
the video you want to usually match
these to your original video settings
from when you start the project ok so
there's also some other settings that
you can change here mostly doing with
audio from here there's some options
that you can change
can also change the sample rate sample
size etc then when you're finally ready
to export the project you can change the
destination folder that you'd like to
export it to I'm going to put this on
the desktop and then you can also change
the file name as well so whatever you
would like and when you're ready when
you're satisfied with all the export
settings you can click on start and it
will render your video hopefully this
was a helpful tutorial I'm definitely
gonna be getting back into making more
of these on a regular basis if you have
any suggestions for other tutorials for
light works you send me an email or
comment on the video and we'll do our
best to help you out so this is just
finishing up here and you can tell it's
got some settings here that lets you
know what this project rendering
settings were and also the destination
for the file as well lets you know that
export is complete and that's pretty
much it for rendering
