What is Reddit's opinion of
Lightworks?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Just infernal robotics. I first set up the movement endpoints (90° for the two spoke actuators in each spoke, 150° for the ring swivel actuators at each vertex) and then calculated independent rotation speeds for the servos so that they would all complete their motion at the same time (it would tear itself apart otherwise). It swivels and extends at the same time thanks to the clever angles the hinges are mounted at.
Thanks to the advent of e-sports, there are now many free, high quality video streaming applications such as Open Broadcaster Software and FFsplit. They are designed for gaming, so they are lightweight and screen capture with high quality. The applications can just record locally when required, no need to stream.
For video editing I use Lightworks, a shareware video editor with a nice interface and a fairly large feature set. You can export 720p at 30 fps, but anything else unfortunately requires a "pro" licence.
There's Lightworks, a number of open-source NLEs, and two open-source compositors. /r/Linux_Filmmaking doesn't get much traffic, but covers this subject.
Shotcut: Shotcut is a free and open-source cross-platform video editing application for FreeBSD, Linux, OS X and Windows. Started in 2011 by Dan Dennedy, Shotcut is developed on the MLT Multimedia Framework, in development since 2004 by the same author. https://shotcut.org/
Lightworks: Lightworks is a professional non-linear editing system for editing and mastering digital video in various formats, including 2K and 4K resolutions, and television in PAL, NTSC, and high-definition formats. https://www.lwks.com/
OpenShot: OpenShot Video Editor is a free and open-source video editor for FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project was started in August 2008 by Jonathan Thomas, with the objective of providing a stable, free, and friendly to use video editor. https://www.openshot.org/
> I don't believe that Adobe would be able to get away with these poorly-written pieces of software if they had a legitimate competitor that made a comprehensive suite but they don't.
Competitors are rather thin on the ground at all; asking for an integrated suite is a bridge too far. Also, a suite is an invitation to having the same sort of disaster that we have currently. Better individual best-of-breed apps so that changing one of them out is much more practical than changing the whole suite.
My least-bad advice is to see about getting parallel installs of potential substitutes, and see what your users think. Much, much easier for the open-source apps like Krita, Blender, Scribus, Inkscape, Kdenlive, Natron. It's an investment for commercial options like Pixeluvo or Affinity. Lightworks and Da Vinci Resolve are free, though.
Tread lightly, make it easy for the users to try the new apps, and don't communicate anything that would alarm them about switching software. If you get any miniature lectures about some app being required by all professionals, just smile, clench your jaw, and remain silent. Softly, softly, catchee monkey.
If you want to pay a lot of money, there is. DaVinci Resolve 12.5 Studio ( https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/de/products/davinciresolve ) which is btw am excellent video editor and has the industry standard color correction tool built-in (btw: for Mac and windows you can use DaVinci Resolve 12.5 for free. As a full program with some veeeery minor differences to the full paid version. Like multiple GPU support or editing over network with others etc)
and there is LightWorks (https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=99&Itemid=210) which I don't know as good but it was professionally used in some blockbuster movies.
In terms of any Linux alternative to Adobe's Flash, I have unfortunately no idea ;)
> The thing that lacks a lot is the video editing.
Wat?
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ru/products/davinciresolve
(free, but not for linux, but costs only $1k)
https://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/nuke/
(free for non-com)
(free with some restrictions)
And of course there are dozens of great opensource apps, like pitivi, blender, cinelerra cv, kdenlive and so on.
Lightworks - Linux supported (This is the only one I have personally used on this list. Free to download, Supports 4k video, should be seriously considered as a contender --- https://www.lwks.com/ )
Cinelerra - is an open source NLE for Linux that supports 4k video editing. http://cinelerra.org/2015/index.php
Blender- Like /u/space_is_hard said Blender is another option. I've never used Blender for video editing but I have heard good things. https://www.blender.org/
If you are open to using WINE, then your possibilities start to open up more as you can use NLE software that is native to Windows on a Linux machine.
Even though it's not open source, Lightworks is available for Linux and it's a professional video editing software. I would still recommend open source solutions, but if they don't cut it, you still have an option.
Jesus, did you see that moderation?? Nothing moderate going on there. "We don't like your tone, boy, this discussion is OVER".
Classy stuff. /s
[Edit: They really don't like the suggestion that making a promise, then failing to keep it for 6 years might reflect poorly, eh? Same moderator too. Sheesh.]
I use Lightworks on my windows box, they have a linux version as well, though I haven't tried it.
It takes a little time to understand the workflow, but it's powerful and well documented. I like it, for the rare editing work I do.
I think the free version will do what you want to do, just look for a tutorial online.
You've got the right idea, you'll be layering video. To make it move around you'll animate it using keyframes, basically points on a timeline that you use to tell the effect to do something over time. Again a tutorial will make it easier to understand.
Degraded quality is down to the choice of codec and settings you use to export your edited video, rather than the software specifically.
I can use top end software like Adobe Premiere Pro, and still end up with degraded video quality if I choose the wrong codec to save as!
I've no idea how good WMM is these days. Have you had a google around for free VE alternatives? Something like https://www.lwks.com/ may do?
One thing you could try out is converting your clip with the "Eyeframe" converter and then import the converted clip to your sequence. This usually gets rid of the playback lag as you described it, at least it does so for me.
Here a link to the Eyeframe thread on the Lightworks forum: https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=30817&Itemid=81
I'm pretty sure GoPro offers video editing software for free, I've never used it but that could be something to look into
Link - https://shop.gopro.com/International/softwareandapp/quik-%7C-desktop/Quik-Desktop.html
As for other programs, lightworks as commented above is good, or you can also use blender. Blender was mainly for 3D but they also have a video editing component.
Blender - https://www.blender.org/
Lightworks - https://www.lwks.com/
Personally I use Adobe premier, partly because Its the program I know, and partly because I get it through work. I know your question stated free, but if you are looking to make this a regular thing, you will want to do some research on what is offered in free vs paid video editing software and gauge if what you want to create justifies paying a subscription or license fee.
That being said, you can do alot with free software, and by no means is a paid required, you just need to scout around and try things! Most paid programs should offer a free trial of some sort, so you could always try those as well and see what works for you.
Happy editing!
Lightworks can be difficult to figure out at first but is entirely worthwhile.
The "free trial" lasts for 7 days but if you make an account (also free) you can just use it forever.
Lightworks is free for life if you register an account: https://www.lwks.com/
It has basic video cutting tools, dynamic texts with transitions and keyframe based animations for texts and images.
The audio editor side of the program is also pretty decent.
If you don't mind going 720p (I believe you can still have 60 fps), the free version of LIghtworks is an option. There's a lot of weird quirks to it, but it has the advantage of reasonable stability and a lot of community support.
I'm just starting out but I use the built in Game DVR/Game Bar thingy that comes with Windows 10 to record and the free version of Lightworks to edit. I'm sure others with more experience can offer better suggestions though.
You can try Lightworks, really good editing software which is now free, great for learning but used by professionals (for example The King's Speech and The Wolf of Wall Street was edited in Lightworks) - https://www.lwks.com/
>The one thing is I can't guarantee success and as such can't guarantee pay... well, not from the videos. I can guarantee that if it becomes successful and we do make money off of the videos then I will give you an equal share of the money that is earned from the channel.
Don't take this the wrong way, but fuck spec work.
Here's a pretty decent free video editing software. Learn how to do it yourself--it's a really interesting skill that ends up being petty useful.
>What are some good beginner (A.K.A. cheap/free) video editors? Totally unfamiliar with basically everything.
You probably should research that. Even something seemingly stuped like googling "good free video editors" can get decent information
Lightworks, or Windows Movie Maker, will probably serve you pretty well until you have a better idea of what you want.
>just video essay things with pictures and video clips of gameplay so I can talk about Skyrim or something in ways that nobody really cares about.
For capturing video from video games you want something like Open Broadcaster Software.
That basically lets you record what ever you are doing on screen in to a video.
>(but it's probably been done already better than I could)
Does not matter do it anyway. If you are trying to be 100% original you are not going to have a lot of material to work with.
They aren't open source but there are free versions of:
Lightwave: https://www.lwks.com/
DaVinci Resolve 12: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/davinciresolve There are three versions ( free, expensive and WTF! ( it includes hardware )) of this and you can see a feature comparison here: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/gb/products/davinciresolve/compare
Lightworks has a free version and AVID wants to release a free version of Media Composer later this year, called Media Composer | First.
lajmrj2 has a great list. I'd like to share that there is a free editing software for PC, Mac, and Linux, called Lightworks. I haven't tried it myself, but it has been used to edit several famous feature films and seems to be fairly robust for free software. Just something that might help you learn the basics and offset the cost of professional editing software.
I use lightworks. The free version let's you export to mp4 for use with YouTube, or it can even export and upload directly to YouTube. Which, most of what I'm using a video editor for is for YouTube. And if you want it in a different format, ffmpeg will convert it.
Hi,
This sounds like the routing may be incorrect. On the VFX tab selecting the 'Routing' tab and check that the correct tracks are routing to the correct inputs.
Don't forget there is a very helpful Forum of Lightworks users: www.lwks.com/forum If you post the effect and the routing screen grabs there, users will be able to assist.
I would recommend trying Lightworks for video editing. The program has a free license that gives you almost all of the features for free, outputs at a decent quality, all without watermarks or other obstructions.
For recording, use Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). Also free, and professional.
This is what I used to make the Wasteland Engineering series. You can also grab Audacity if you want to do audio editing as well for voiceovers.
Davinci Resolve and Lightworks are closed source. But the former software, especially, is impressive, with a free version and a $295 "pro" version that also comes with Blackmagic's video cameras. Resolve was originally a pro colorist package that was very expensive and required special hardware to run on Linux, but Blackmagic has added in more NLE capabilities and then a lot of audio features.
Olive is a newer open-source NLE. Kdenlive is a well-regarded open-source NLE. Shotcut is worth a look.
I use lightworks its free with a lot of tools, works great. Price wise it's not expensive if you need to get higher quality output.
If that doesn't work out for you, there is always Lightworks. It's surprisingly good (for a free editing programme) I use it for youtube and it gets the job done.
For comparison with Hitfilm Express I'd look at
1.) Blender - https://www.blender.org/
2.) Cinelerra - http://cinelerra.org/
3.) Lightworks - https://www.lwks.com/
I suspect you may find Lightworks to have the more approachable of learning curves.
Lightworks is what I used for video editing software when I was broke. It's an absolute piece of shit that's barely held together by duct tape and glue, but it gets the job done at least.
If you don't want to be a perpetual slave to Adobe to create content, I got Movie Studio 14 Platinum when it was on sale for 20 bucks. Looks like they're on MS 15 now, and it's $50 when not on sale. Full disclosure, I liked After Effects and Adobe Premiere more, but Movie Studio at least works normally.
So, I record the audio on its own. I use Reaper as my DAW.
The video I record in multiple takes, basically just dubbing over the audio. Usually, I have a certain angle I'd like to use for a certain part of a song, but otherwise I'll just record the entire song at a certain angle and pick and choose what angle to use after I've played around a bit.
For editing, I use Lightworks. I've never actually edited videos using other software, so I'm not sure how well this compares to the other industry standards, but its worked for me so far.
You might find EyeFrame Convertor useful. It has always proved helpful to me in editing with proxy files, though I have never tried to use the file type you specify. You can find some good tutorials for it on their website, IIRC.
EDIT:
It appears since I went on a break from LightWorks that the maker of EyeFrame has stopped the production of EyeFrame as a dedicated LightWorks tool, but it is still running.
There is a free, limited trial version of LightWorks that I’ve used in the past. The only thing that you’re really limited to if you’re just doing basic editing is you can only render up to 720p but I don’t mind that.
The name of the game is Lightworks
It's got a steep learning curve but from what I've seen it's full featured considering it's free. It's more for films and TV so it might not do what you want but it's worth a shot.
If you just need to do a quick project this one time use the free trial of Adobe Premiere Pro maybe.
Lightworks is an editor used to cut professional movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, Moulin Rouge, King’s Speech, Centurion, ... Works great on Ubuntu. Be warned though: if you're using a free licence, export formats are limited. Pro licence is $20/month.
I'm using Lightworks for my editing.
It's free and quite awesome. I really like the quick editing workflow, it's really nice if you want to do very precise editing, like I'm trying to do here.
It's way over the top for this kind of stuff, but it can't hurt to have the extra options. The default interface is quite good at not bombarding the user with features they don't need.

Like the other commenter said, definitely use Chrome Remote desktop.
But yeah, no issues. Except if you use the free version, there's a big ass watermark. It all depends on what kind of video editing you would like to do as well. Is it basic, simple cuts? Or do you require 3D rendering, use a green screen, etc.?
I would definitely not use a Chromebook for simply editing videos/posting. But since I have GalliumOS on mine, if I had the need to, I could learn how to use Lightworks, although the free version restricts exporting at 720P to Vimeo/YouTube.
Quite honestly, the (i think) in built Windows Movie Maker software should be sufficient enough for a task such as this. However, you could download some free software such as Lightworks if you were looking for some more tools. https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206
I used to be able to do this at work but I'm management now and no longer have access to any of our Adobe stuff :(
My budget is limited so I looked for free alternatives.
At home I was playing around with Lightworks. Its free mode is limited by resolution so good enough for online video. The tools were easy to use and seemed powerful enough.
Previously I tried Blender. OMG it drove me crazy. Its UI is not good for anything simple.
If I did anything with a lot of volume I would definitely pony up for Adobe again.
You may want to have a look at the freemium software lightworks.
It is a professional grade video editing software that change his business model. There are some good tutorials on youtube, and free version is pretty decent (the main limitation is the export capped at 720p).
Linux has good software to do professional work, there is even a Commercial linux compatible NLVE, there is Darktable and RawTherapee for RAW processing (I use RawTherapee all the time even on windows). There is GIMP for more photo-shop-esque work which is pretty much feature-for-feature with photoshop, There is ReNoise (which I own and use ALL THE TIME) for making music which is not for everyone but its far more polished than any of the DAWs on linux right now... The options are out there and there are more and more of them appearing all the time - you can totally do professional stuff on linux even if there aren't as many options.
There isn't a whole lot of options for open source/freeware
VSDC is pretty decent, not as advanced as Adobe Premiere but enough to get you started on making this type of content.
LightWorks closest you'll get to Premiere type, but it's technically 'freemium'
ivsEdits, haven't used this one but seems decent. Standard type tool set.
There's super outdated stuff around like VirtualDub which is completely open source.
I'm fairly new to filmmaking myself, but what I did when I shot my first film was I just used my phone, (Htc one M8) and I used a free editing software called Lightworks. I used my computer to edit which is way easier than a phone. I also recommend buying a mini microphone meant for your phone if you have a lot of dialogue in your film. I would recommend starting on your phone, it's way cheaper. Something to watch out for is lighting, make sure you have good lighting because lighting can make or break your film. Good luck!
OBS is free and works great. You might want some editing software. I recently used Lightworks (also free), but I haven't used it enough to be able to recommend it. It did what it had to do.
Aviutil This software was originally released in Japanese, but there is an English version at Videohelp.com. That forum is also the only place you'll find any help with the program, but there are a couple of tutorials there.
There are more listed here: http://www.videohelp.com/software/sections/video-editors-advanced But I don't know much about the other free ones.
Yes thank you for the answer. I was working a lot with Sony Vegas Pro back in Windows and I am looking for the best alternative, especially about special effects and transitions. Also Lightworks seems nice as well.
>Should I direct the light at my face?
- Only point light directly at your face if you have something that can diffuse it - otherwise, if you can of course, try getting direct natural light (though with a whiteboard that may cause issues!). Natural light has the benefit of making things look as our brains expect them to, and while there's nothing wrong with indoor lighting it'll always make things a little more orange ('warmer') which can make things 'not quite right'. If you have a white wall near where you film you could point the lamp at that and bounce the light onto you (which will have a similar effect to a diffuser though you'll lose some light), or maybe even a spare whiteboard That'll balance out the shadows a little potentially.
Think indoor flash photography; it's better to bounce a flash off the ceiling or a wall, because the light is less intense/more diffused and you don't get the "being grilled by a noir cop" vibe.
>Do you know of any FOSS editors?
- I know a few, though how good they are I don't know - the last time I spent any serious time playing with open source software was at university which is getting further and further away!
Lightworks has a free version (not FOSS, but free as in beer) but that can only export up to 720p, Openshot looks like it may be of some use, ditto Open Movie Editor. I know these things have a tendency to be horribly complex to get running (lots of plugins required etc.) but these all look relatively simple - potentially with a bit more in terms of features than Movie Maker.
>Thanks so much!
- No problem!
LightWorks was video editor used for the movie "The Kings Speech" that won multiple Oscars. Including awards in "Best Achievement in Film Editing". So yeah, totally zero video editing tools on linux. /sarcasm
Thanks! I used GoPro Studio to import and convert all of my files, and Lightworks to edit and export.
Thinking about learning more in terms of color correction and whatnot, but that's my start!
Lightworks is another professional NLE which has been around for a long time. Also Blackmagic Design recently added NLE features to DaVinci Resolve, another piece of software which has a Linux version available.
Lightworks A free video editor. Note that the free version has a lot of features (nearly all of the pro features), but has a very VERY limited import and export selection. You will need to use an extra tool to convert any of your content to the proper format. Limited to 720p, last I checked. I don't use it anymore, but there are plenty of guides on youtube if anyone needs help learning it.
I use Lightworks. It's professional level software and when you get your head around the workflow (watch the tutorials...multiple times if you have to!) you can blaze through clipping out the best bits of your stock footage pretty quick. The best part is that it is open source (so free) so you dont have the guilt of having to pirate stuff...if that sort of thing bothers you.
I've used lightworks . It's free version is better than most pro editors and is pretty easy to use . Multiple video and audio tracks , blending , transitions and lighting effects , also has good audio board too . Plus it's free .
ShadowPlay is my go-to for recording. OBS is absolutely amazing when used with the right settings. I've been editing for well over 10 years with Premier so naturally, it's my preferred choice of software but it can be pricey for someone starting out. I would suggest LightWorks as a temporary yet powerful free solution. The only problem with the free version is that it's capped at 720/30 but it renders out at H264 which is great.
So When I was looking for editing software (I'm new to this 2 months). I tried out a bunch of trials. The three I like the most was <strong>Camtasia ($300)</strong> , <strong>Lightworks v12(FREE)</strong> and Corel VC 8x Pro($60).
Lightworks seems to be able to do everything Camtasia could do and more. The downside on Lightworks is that I (a beginner to editing) needed to watch tutorial videos to get started.
Camtasia had everything I wanted/needed except for the price tag. Was quick to pickup and use. Could recognize multichannel audio. No sign up needed for Demo. Look to your bottom left of the page for download link.
I also tried Corel VC 8x Pro which was a step down from Camtasia But a good program if you need basic editing tools. Could NOT recognize multichannel audio without separating the audio from the .avi file first. Had some nice sound distortion features.
**** Edit: All programs that arn't free have 30 day demos.
You could also use Digital Fusion. Same end result as After Effects but I prefer because its node based. Just connect the effects in a flowchart style plus it just went FREE (was $2,495). Its a feature film quality tool used by the majors. Also FREE is Lightworks for Non-Linear Editing. Still cant believe tools like this are Free. I've invested $$THOUSAND$$ in earlier versions and love them both.
Lightworks - it's free, with limitations, or £99 a year (£250 outright). https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102&Itemid=213 has details. Very powerful editor, used on many feature films. Can take some getting used to. Multiplatform, too.
For simple cuts, which I assume you will be doing, you can't go wrong with Windows Movie Maker. It's very amateur, but if that's what you are there is nothing wrong with it.
In a pinch, I have used GoPro's Editing Software before. It's not great, but does do what you need. I should note that you do not have to use a GoPro camera to use this software. It recognizes very common file types.
I've heard of Lightworks before and it might be a pretty good option. It looks like a step above the others, although I have never used it personally so I cannot say for sure.
Someone else suggested Adobe Premiere Pro. For only a small monthly fee you get one of the best pieces of software out there. I do this for a living and use it daily.
I hope this helped. Remember, whichever one you go with, there are a plethora of YouTube videos to help get you started.
This link tells the differences between free and Pro.
To me, the biggest differences would be that Pro allows you to export/render in 1080p and different video codecs than just h.264. Having never used the Pro version before I'm not entirely sure if it'd be necessary to get it since Free works fine for me, but it might be worth it.
I sure do! https://www.lwks.com/
2 weeks is nuffin'! You'll get used to it, I promise! If you want to, go to my channel and watch like, one of my first 5 videos, even just like a minute or so of it lol. Then watch something like one of my Yandere Simulator videos. Probably vastly different XD I could be wrong, but I feel I've grown a lot since last December! And SO not trying to channel advertise, I'm just trying to give you a confidence boost that, basically, we all start somewhere.
I feel very comfortable in saying that, people who have no experience being in front of a camera or have no acting skills/speaking in front of people, all probably start out like us. A bit timid, awkward, not sure how we want to be when we LP. You'll eventually find your "you" for LPing. I'm not saying you'll be a fake person, you'll just kind of fall into what feels comfortable for you in front of the camera and whatnot. For me, it's being extremely goofy and if people can't handle that, then I don't want them on my channel LOL. I'm a goofy person, and I'm that class clown (but a respectful one who doesn't always disrupt class ;D), and can't help that I am kind of a crazy asshat. So whatevs.
You might think you're kind of dull right now or monotone, but over time, you'll find your voice, your attitude, your style, and personality and it will surely shine through :)
http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor
Try these?
Lightworks is professional software you can use for free. I guess its been used to edit many big films. The free version limits you to making 720p mp4's. If you want different formats or higher resolutions, you need paid version.
I've never used Lightworks before, but it is free. A powerful editor from what I understand, you can definitely line up your audio with it. Might not be the easiest to use, especially versus Windows Movie Maker.
Version 12 of Movie Studio Platinum can be picked up cheap on eBay. That is how I bought version 11 and 12. They were new and activated with no issue. I prefer version 12 over 13 actually, due to some changes to the interface.
Hi,
Please make sure you are running the latest version of Lightworks (2021.2) from here: www.lwks.com/downloads
If you are running the latest version and you still get the same error, you can report it to the team here: www.lwks.com/report-a-problem
Hi,
You should be able to import a .PSD file but it will be flattened on import ie, you will not be able to work with the separate layers (if they exist) This file should come in at the predefined length set on the import panel (1 second and up) which you can change. The file can then be added to a sequence and trimmed to make it longer/shorter.
Don't forget there is a dedicated Lightworks Forum: www.lwks.com/forum which has a strong community of users new and experienced to help.
> I was hoping there may be an addon or a way in Lightworks to add subtitles like in my example video above?
Hi,
Which version of Lightworks are you running? You should be on the latest version 2021.2 from the downloads page: www.lwks.com/downloads
If you are running the latest version, then I would raise this issue to their team here: www.lwks.com/report-a-problem
Don't forget there is a Lightworks Forum: www.lwks.com/forum that has a mix of new and experienced users that are more than happy to help
Lightworks is supposed to be a pretty good open source one, I started learning it once but never got around to making anything with it.
Try Lightworks . The free version gives you enough possibilities. There are a many Video tutorials which is very helpful
I posted this here because my fanfic involves 3 generations of the Wayne Family. (Bruce, Thomas, and Kenneth.)
This is just one scene. (All subtitles.)
Basically the context to this scene is Lex Luthor's grandpa (Alexie) needs to get out of Russia because of Stalin and the communists. He severs all ties doing so.

Both of which are very GUI heavy as is. i3 is for coding, and my config is so boring because that's how I like it, I am just focused on workflow. I like trying all kinds of WM's (even have nvCDE just because it bring me back to 1991 lulz), but Plasma IMO is too menu heavy for configuration, it's much faster and easier to config even Lua, I just go onto my Awesome folder and edit a couple of files.
to be fair a lot of Libertarians confuse it with Anarchy...
But good on you for getting out there and being the change you want to see!
Small suggestion, take that youtube video and run it through a video editor to cut the bottom off where your teleprompter is running.
Something like Lightworks is free and easy to use and you can also use the audio tools in it to bring your voice up (use the voice over preset) and make yourself more clear.
I know how hard running for a local office is with zero budget, and although I might not agree with all of your platform, I 100% think that more diversity of political opinions is more better!
Check out This Guy Edits on youtube. He has some great videos on the fundamentals of good editing.
You'll want to graduate out of iMovie sooner rather than later - I (and most editors) recommend Adobe Premiere Pro, but Lightworks is a decent free alternative (or so I've been told.)
And of course, the amount of youtube tutorials is enormous. It can be a lot easier to navigate if you nail down an idea of what it is you want to make, and then find tutorials on how to make that thing.
I used this years ago and it was serviceable. If I remember correctly the free version allows you to encode in mp4 h264 which is ok for youtube. It does restrict to 720p though. That is OK for a small youtuber I would say, however.
Blender also has video editing. Though I cant vouch for its feature set or user experience.
Hmm. What frame rate is your video? This is an old, old post for an old version of Lightworks so may not work, but just in case could try this: https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=8&id=80022&Itemid=81#86151
Shortcut completely free and lightweight also have a lot of advanced features if u needed. Also you can check out Lightworks also free and pretty light, but need more learning curve
Check out lightworks: https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206&tab=1
I've only used it on Windows, but I don't see why it wouldn't work well on Linux too.
Try lightworks or DaVinci resolve free idk about opensource

Lightworks
Opensource shotcut:
> And for that, you need an office suite, image editor, video editors etc. Linux currently has nothing that can really compete with the offerings on Windows for those.
- Office suite: LibreOffice, Calligra Suite, WPS Office, Softmaker FreeOffice, Abiword, Gnumeric, etc.
- Image editor: GIMP/Glimpse, Krita, Pinta, etc.
- Video editors: Blackmagic Davinci Resolve, Kdenlive, Cinelerra, Lightworks, Openshot, Shotcut, Pitivi, etc.
I use OBS, it can record the game you are playing.
For editing I am using Lightworks. It of course takes some time to get used to it, but it is rather easy to use and is completely free. There are also a lot of tutorials on youtube to help you get started.
Hope this helps :D
Im trying Lightworks and like it 10x better (and its free). Sick of all the random issues I keep having with OpenShot. Lately I feel like I spend more time trying to fix issues than actually editing videos with it. Lightworks is a little more advanced but there's plenty of easy to find youtube tutorials for it if you search.

For Lightworks, that's how far I have managed to get to: https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=6&id=214383&Itemid=81#214393
I think you're right, it can probably work. It's not straightforward and not (yet) fully figured out. I am still stuck on attempting to fake a USB drive in crostini.
Lightworks isn't open source, IIRC. It was just free. And it has been used on some Hollywood films. https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=103&Itemid=214
Although I've never have done a voice over I do use a video editing software that has that feature. I click the "voice over" button, select the delay before it starts, which audio track I want it to use or have it make a new one, select which mic I want it to use then click start. And if I needed to I could stop the voice over and start another that goes over that one. The program I use is called Lightworks. It has both free and paid versions. Free version seems to offer everything you'd need except rendering in anything higher than 720p. I've been using it for 4 years and it's been great.

> This is used in Hollywood.
Primarily as a color tool. Almost nobody in the TV/Film world is using Resolve as an edit/VFX/Mix tool on major productions. It's good, it's great for average users, it's not quite there yet in the pro world, but it's making strides.
It's also worth noting Lightworks has a lot of Hollywood films under its belt too.
Also, outside of light duty work I wouldn't call Fusion a replacement for After Effects. It can do a lot of stuff After Effects does, but it's not a 1:1 replacement.
So if I understand correctly, you have the video where the outside of the window is entirely green and you also have the video you want to put outside the window instead of the greenscreen. To do that, you will need some video editing software. There's Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas, but a good free program I use is Lightworks.
With that, you can follow some tutorials on how to do it, like this one on Techradar or this one on YouTube by a channel called Lightworks Tutorials which I however assume isn't official, but will most likely still work.
Doesn't Davinci have watermarks unless you buy the full version? Blender is good, though I haven't tried too much of the 2D video editing yet, I mostly 3D.
Another good free one I've tried is Lightworks. https://www.lwks.com/
It's been a month with no answers, so I decided to go ahead and ask this same question on the Lightworks forums. And it turns out the moderators over there aren't much for having an open discussion on this topic, as they locked the thread 2 hours after it was opened. There are a few other topics started about the open source controversy, and guess what, all of those got locked too. Here is the post I made about it, if anyone wants to see what was said:
They don't seem much for a civil debate, so I didn't get the chance to ask. But I was wanting to ask them why, in 10 years, EditShare has not clarified the situation. That seems very shady to me, that they would make official announcements about going open source, and then sweep everything under the rug, pretending like they never made that promise. They've had plenty of time to answer, and all they would have to do is explain that their plans have changed if that is the case. Their promise was that Lightworks would go open source after the Mac and Linux version was out, and then it would be open source after that. Now that they have a Mac and Linux version, they won't even address the subject, and that just comes across as very dishonest. At least own up to it. It would be understandable if plans had changed after a certain amount of time. If they tried and it didn't work out, that would be a good enough explanation for me, but based on how they have handled this, I have a feeling that they never had much of an intention to follow through in the first place.
Anyway, what does everyone else think? I was planning on buying the pro version soon, but they've lost my respect at this point.
> What kind of effort might it take to get Windows 7 users
Remove dependencies. In many cases this means users need to move apps some time in advance of considering an OS change. 90 days can be on the short side, though of course Windows 7 won't self-destruct in January, 2020.
In many cases, this means that the route to Linux is roundabout, getting users onto cross-platforms apps like LibreOffice or Blackmagic Davinci Resolve or Lightworks or Krita or CHIRP or Bricsys BricsCAD first. Or moving local-app users to webapps.
It is for PC, but blurring faces in video is a pain in the ass, because people move and you have to do it frame by frame, it is best to put her in positions you can just crop her head off, or film from the back with the face in pillows and low on the guys and avoid face shots. But I assume you want to watch for your own pleasure, so think of cropping positions.
Try Lightworks.
Heres a link: https://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_lwks&view=download&Itemid=206
have the same problem and just wanted to ask this... Have you found a REAL solution yet?
Because, for the love of god, I just can't believe the explantation offered in the lightworks thread that regards this problem and is marked as solved.
the reason for this frustrating problem according to the forums is, that lightworks is out of the box programmed in a way, that it just randomly ads an audio delay in the preview. Thus making the preview function practically utter useless, if you use any kind in your video.
In oder to find out how much frames of audio latency lightworks adds on your system you have to make some kind of test and... I have to stop here because I just can't belive this shit.
I just spend something like 30 hours editing a video to a beat just to find out, that I was not cutting to the actual beat, but to somekind of ghost beat, because lightworks is a FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
Btw. here is the forum post explaining the problem:
The program it self is called lightworks. I provided a link in the comment above. If you aren't that familiar with reddit. The word itself is a different color indicating that there is a link under it. There you can download it for free. And be sure to only use that site as that is the official Lightworks site. If you google lightworks you might stumble on other sites luring you with offering what is already a freeware product to then instal their malware. So just to be on the safe site I'll give you the full link here: https://www.lwks.com/
Thanks man. Look into lightworks You can only render up to 720p maximum in the free trail version. But you can use it as long as you want. It's not overly complicated yet you can get some cool results with it. And you can find a lot of tutorials for it on youtube and can ask questions here /r/Lightworks
Glad you liked it.
Use Lightworks https://www.lwks.com/ the basic version is free and giving enough editing possibilities for video and audio, unless you are a professional, but in that case you can afford the Pro version.
Hi /u/ChingchongIndanger, unfortunately this subreddit isn't appropriate for software recommendations, as we're more focused on Hardware (hence the name :P). Instead, I would recommend asking this question in /r/Linux_Filmmaking or r/LinuxQuestions.
But in answer to your question; DaVinci Resolve and Lightworks are the only two video editors currently available for Linux that are also used in professional industries.
Davinci is my preferred editor, but it officially only supports the CentOS distrobution of Linux, requiring this guide to install anywhere else.
I think Pop totally crushes Ubuntu and Mint. Reports all over the internet say it's faster than Ubuntu, and they provide an Nvidia ISO if that's what card you have. It comes with gnome, is built with developers in mind, and is made by System76.
Video gaming works well- steam is a 1-click install and runs smoothly (on my hardware).
I don't have any video editing to do, but you should have no problem running Lightworks or something on it.
I think that's your best bet.
