Thank you so much. The "official" tutorials were making me want to punch a wall.

[@techismad]

Thanks for the comment!

[@RichardDubya]

i am literally making my video in lightworks right now and your tutorials are so very helpful, its very stressful trying to learn a new editing program. thank you so much for your wonderful help!

[@techismad]

thenintendofreak it’s my pleasure. I hope all the videos in the Lightworks series get you to where need to be!

[@biggerpicturephoto]

Such a good teacher, very clear and easy to understand, thank you.

[@tomasinioproductions9737]

I can't thank you enough for how helpful this video really is.

[@jquizo8530]

I really really like your tutorials because it doesn't make me distracted. I normally don't finish a video this long because I can't focus for a long time so thank you for thiiis. Keep up the good work!

[@joshuasinclair9180]

You are an absolute beast of a teacher. Easy, clear, and precise, with a great voice too! Sincerely, thank you.

[@techismad]

Great news - I'm editing a brand new updated version of this audio tutorial. Upload will be in about a day

[@callsignredacted8290]

Less than 1 ½ minutes into the video and you helped me realize I deactivated the audio sequences. Thanks so much, I was about to trash my personal project because of this simple problem

[@MemerDad]

Dear Sir, Thank you very much. To be honest there are many other channels explaining light works but I some how cane acroos yours and it's working like a charm for me. I'm actually making a music video. This is one of the things I have always wanted to do.

[@tylerlewis6813]

Dude! In just a few short minutes, you showed me so many things which I immediately was able to apply. Thanks for being such an efficient and helpful teacher!

[@techismad]

Glad I could help!

[@AryanKumar-jo1pz]

The video was good but the idea of giving a summary at the end was awesome

[@vhbbhvvbbb4156]

These are very informative videos. I'm literally pausing and taking notes like its a college lecture lol. Thanks for the tips man.

[@cvarapap]

Thank you for the great tutorials! So many little tips and tricks to help make my vids better. Setting a consistent audio level really helps!

[@techismad]

Never underestimate how important sound is for a video. A picture that is slightly off is ok, but as soon as the sound cuts or jumps up in volume and every single person will notice it

[@Skkorm]

I was ready to pull my hair out before I found your channel, bless you sir.

[@monarc009]

Your voice... Your voice is a masterpiece.

[@HomeGrowen420]

So I Was Making An Intro. The Tutorial i was using was yrs old and helped but the audio fade in/out method was different. This Really Helped

[@happycraftworks8242]

Thank you. I needed to reduce decibels on A1 and A2 in only one segment of the audio track. Thank you for showing how to bring down decibel levels for fading using the markers on the track. It gave me the answer I needed! Very nicely explained.

[@techismad]

I’m so glad to have been of service! And I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@wesknipp]

Do u just mouse click to set markers?

[@sumaai]

[@kyp293]

so helpful thx :)

[@markwellden1421]

Thanks, also if anyones came here because there only getting audio through one channel (i.e one headphone) i found it was the "pan" above the equalizer slides. Make sure there centred, pointing up

[@gangli7383]

Nice !

[@markjarrett9400]

Thank you for putting together these videos. Many of the other KZbin tutorials over complicate things. Your videos a clear and concise. I have a time-lapse clip of a gannet colony. This is the first of many that I want to edit post rendering. I want to produce an audio that recreates the cacophony of thousands of birds squabbling, bickering and calling. I have 4 audio tracks. I want to combine all the tracks so that they are all playing at the same time. How can I do that?

[@techismad]

For heavy duty audio work, I would take that out of Lightworks and handle it with a different program. Audacity is free and can do most things you need to in audio.

[@DD-1996]

@ESH Tech I have Lightworks 14 as well. Can you tell me how to fix the audio stuttering in it?

[@DD-1996]

@ESH Tech That is, while I'm putting videos together.

[@techismad]

Do you mean the audio stutters while you're editing your clips? I would very quickly export the video to your hard disk and then watch a finished exported clip to see if the audio stutters in that version. While I'm editing on my laptop, the picture freezes all the time, but the final exported version is always just fine.

[@DD-1996]

@ESH Tech Yes.

[@gitongahouse3245]

talented teacher

[@techismad]

not at all... but thank you

[@unnecessaryoccupation3115]

Thanks!

[@kryul3230]

You deserve a like and a subscribe!

[@markcoaster121]

Very useful

[@nabtheguy4067]

Thx bro.

[@Modhumitamondal]

Nice

[@Riaaanna]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have a question... I successfully edited my audio to fade in/fade out in the middle of some sections using the nodes. But when I export the whole thing to MP4 it seems to have been ignored? My audio did not change all. Appreciate if you have any tips on this, thank you!

[@seanjenkins6947]

thank u so much u answered my querstion

[@techismad]

My pleasure!

[@Starbuckssalty]

Lightworks works pretty good I am curious though whenever I import a video and put it in the timeline it always inserts it upside down is there a way to make it stay right side up?

[@lazardjordjevic3393]

I am trying to add sound effects to my video and when I import them they seem to sound kind of different then when I listen to them in Groove Music. They are not mp3, instead they are wav files. help? ^^'

[@Definitionnutrition]

This id easy and awesome

[@michaelkoss3015]

does anyone have an issue with audio not playing while in the timeline. is is just a problem with the free version of lightworks 14?

[@BasicBrick]

wow, thanks allot

[@techismad]

You're welcome!

[@11EdYi11DrQwartz]

thx alot

[@techismad]

Welcome!

[@rcr1148]

Excellent guide! Towards the end of your video you did a zoom in effect. Did you make a video explaining zooming in/out on Lightworks? Thanks again!

[@techismad]

I actually made a whole video on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paHQmYCbmtuta8k Hope this helps you out

[@AnneLemonadeReacts]

My A1 and A2 is out of sync creating an echo, how do I fix that ? I'm unable to click on those independently

[@peterwilliams5073]

Although I find this video very helpful, I am having so much trouble having tracks synch with one another. I've tried everything. I encoded and set all clips to 30 fps and to a constant frame rate running throughout my current sequence. Everything is in synch until something happens which delays audio / video from synching properly. This usually happens within a few hours after the initial edit. I can't proceed with my project until I figure this out. I edited a 20 minute film only to later discover that everything fell out of synch. I also have auto track synch set as default. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

[@ibrahimzoabi9875]

how do i extend the default audio time limit of 5 minutes. i cant figure out how to record further than that

[@minimalist_spreadpeace_behappy]

Lightworks is amazing editing soft.............................

[@TheMagiccDust]

Is there a way of making it so it does not show 2 different audio clips without deleting audio tracks?

[@meigana]

Please help I need to find out how to add the audio I've been doing this for an hour and can't figure it out or find any video on it but lightworks video not coming with audio is what the issue is please help idk what to do and no one has an answer D: it doesn't come with the audio and when I listen to it on folders you can hear the sound!! Please help! tysm D:

[@ronnieron2652]

Why does Lightworks Have Audio Synch issues and when using the program the Audio will not playback like a normal video? Why when I import 2 audio clips exactly the same does lightworks interpret them differently one being Attached to a video track and another an exact replica wav file but they are out of synch by half a frame.... But I can not move the audio half a frame... The Audio is so broken in this program.....

[@lonelydev7984]

thanks brother

[@techismad]

No problem my brother!

[@techismad]

or sister!

[@Sunzrn]

uhhhh how do i make the audio lower or higher thats i wanted all the time!

[@MikePearcePhoto]

Your tutorials are exactly what I need! Thank you. You mention a source of free audio for video. Could you provide a name or a link please?

[@techismad]

Yeah, you can try pexels.com which is great, and also videezy.com

[@Hannah-un3ws]

How do you get the music? That's what I'm struggling with right now

[@TheShadeist]

Hey! Hopefully you can answer my question, I'm working with light works and I'm making a vlog that has some video cuts/edits, I'm adding background music to help remove some of the static from the when it was recorded, how can I lower all the volume at once on the clipped portions of the videos?

[@techismad]

Try this: Click on the Audio tab. Your clips will be there, and you can also see the audio of each of the clips. The audio will show you their levels with a dotted line, and on the left side of each dotted line is a small square. Using your mouse, you can select all these squares (they will then be highlighted yellow). Using your mouse scroll wheel, you can lower or raise the volume of all the clips you just selected.

[@Cecilior]

Very good videos. How do you configure the environments ? (Lightworks 14)

[@techismad]

What do you mean by configure the environments?

[@SaiPatil1]

Pls tell from where to download music coz lightworks is not even mp4 audios

[@mantzak]

Thanks for the good work that you have done. I wonder how could have done it if i want to work on the oposite direction, not to fit the audio on the movie, but to fit a movie on a song for example. Let's say we want to make a music video clip, the audio is fixed and we have to fit on to the audio deferend schenes of movie clips

[@techismad]

You can try this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4iVo2uul9uHqrM

[@mantzak]

Thank you very much for the answer

[@Nonso.o]

some audio comes with voice and music, is it possible to just seperate the music out from the voice. especially when i see audio 1 and audio 2

[@aardvark1234]

Is there a way to make sound echo more?

[@asapzombie226]

How do you have the audio be at the same time as the video since the audio gets delayed?
