Guide paths
Choose the Lightworks problem you are solving.
The site is organized around real editing jobs: starting a project, keeping the timeline readable, exporting the right file, fixing playback, and choosing the right Lightworks plan.
First project and media setup
Install Lightworks, import local media, choose Create Link or Copy Local, organize bins, and build a small first sequence without losing source files.
Editing, shortcuts, titles and transitions
Trim in passes, use markers, keep audio visible, add titles after the cut works, and avoid effects that hide basic timing problems.
YouTube, Shorts and review files
Pick the destination first, match frame rate, check Free/Create/Pro limits, and test a short MP4 before exporting the full sequence.
Playback, proxies, audio and rough exports
Separate preview lag from export problems, use proxies for heavy media, check audio routing, and change one setting at a time.
Plans and editor choices
Compare Lightworks Free, Create, Pro and DaVinci Resolve by the file you need to deliver, not by a generic feature list.
