Lightworks Annotations

We look at using a simple "hack" in #Lightworks, to draw annotations. We even use keyframes to animate annotations to fake a tracked shot!

I don’t know if you’ll see or reply this but your videos have really helped me, I’ve only started using light works for a few days and been getting better with each video, I appreciate your videos and hope for you to grow for helping others 🙌🏼

First, thanks for your effort in creating and putting up these videos. They are of enormous help.Second, I can't get the two circles to move together. What am I missing here?

Thank you so much for doing this ! So I suppose a making blinking circle would be hair-tearingly frustrating to do in Lightworks ? :-P

[@techismad]

Actually it's as easy as other programs! Set your circle (or square). You should have two 2D shapes, and one Lumakey. Let's say your base circle is red (see 3:20), you would then click on the actual red colour (as if you're trying to change the colour of the circle) but now you can change the alpha (transparency) of the circle (see 1:42 - at the bottom you have the Alpha). You can now keyframe Alpha values for the red circle. Remember that you need two keyframes per change otherwise you end up fading the circle rather than blinking. So you would keyframe a 255 alpha, move one frame forward than then keyframe a 0 alpha. Move the playhead forward, keyframe a 0 alpha, and then move one frame forward for a 255 alpha keyframe. This is how you would do it on other programs as well.

@@techismad Thanks !! Easier than I thought :-D
