Lightworks - Great text labels and titles for your videos

I thank you for these great ideas. I have been using Lightworks for my channel for many years, but I have never used the Simple 2D shape, now I will use it.

[@techismad]

Great of you to say so! I just checked out your channel - you're amazing. I'm subscribing and trying out some of the stuff you make!

[@henryb694]

Love the lightworks tutorials you put out- best on youtube for my money. Hope to see more of these videos. Cheers!

[@techismad]

You're in luck! I'm making some more very soon!

[@spicylot6151]

I followed your all lightworks videos to edit my cooking channel..it is really helpful..thank you very much.please do more videos.😊👍🙏

[@techismad]

Your channel is amazing! The food is phenomenal - and yes I've subscribed and will be watching them to see what I will be cooking this weekend. The style of the filming, and editing is rather good. It gives me ideas for my own videos! Thank you for your kind words and please do continue to make your amazing food for the camera!

@@techismad thank you..😊 I will be waiting for more lightworks videos..

Hello Mad Tech, Several editors on the Lightworks Forum were unable to couple the Titles and Simple 2D Shape such that both can be moved simultaneously with a single click-and-drag (at about 11:15). Would you be amenable to sharing your secret? Thanks -- George

Super like your videos very useful! You deserve a million subs! Underrated. Godbless.

[@techismad]

Thank you for the lovely comment!

[@lilithmalanie]

helpful as always. I used the effect on a text I wanted to slide up and down!

[@StrikeTX]

This is great!! I just got Lightworks recently, and this was so helpful. 🙏

[@thegadaboutdad1057]

Thank you. I've been looking to improve the look of text on my videos. Just the ticket!

[@Defgarden]

Thank you. I'm still having trouble getting this to work right. I set keyframes 7 frames from the start and finish, but instead of staying in the center where I wanted it, the box and text go to center then keep moving around for whatever reason. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening.

[@mowarshel7842]

this is actually so smart. thank you so much.

[@sean-niallmcdonagh4611]

very good video. Good length and well described . Exactly what i;ve been looking for , I;m new to editing and have been wondering how to make the titles llok better.

[@NoFluffDigitalMarketing]

I have been wanting to dress up my titles. I love your ideas, and I'll use them in my next video!!

[@techismad]

that's cool that you are going to use them! Don't forget, you can also keyframe colour, transparency as well as position and size. It's not as easy as other software where they have presets, but you can really get some amazing effects with a few extra steps

[@NoFluffDigitalMarketing]

@@techismad I am now hoping I can copy my title setups too. I feel like I spend so much time on each title ;)

[@techismad]

You should be able to drag them pressing alt on your keyboard. That should make a perfect copy with all the keyframes intact.

[@NoFluffDigitalMarketing]

@@techismad yes! I did this successfully. It was such a time saver.

[@starfall637]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed. You explained it really well. :)

[@techismad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@travelmeister2815]

How would we implement red circles in Lightworks? The kind you 'd use to point out something in the video. Not a solid circle, but a ring that is hollow in the middle. The mattes only seem to be solid rectangle or solid circle.

[@JustFun-vc2ri]

Very useful, thanks so much for sharing!

[@techismad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@flamango8914]

hey i am having a problem with the simple 2d shape. Whenever i am adding it in, it has a black background which i cant remove. What do i do to remove the background

[@VitalFairLiving]

The older version, had the cursor at the end of each clip, now I downloaded the new one and the cursor goes back to the beginning of the clip. Could you help me out on this? I couldn't find any tutorial or even the instruction from lightworks addressing the changes.

[@Attwer_awa]

So,how did you manage to get the letters closer together at 0:11???you're never tell us=))

[@RiverSmallmouthAdventures]

This will be a huge help with my videos! TYVM!

[@techismad]

I'm really happy it helped!

[@AlsHomestead]

Thanks for these videos, I've really improved my editing because of them. I use Lightworks for all of my videos, and I really like it.

[@techismad]

That's nice of you to say. I checked out your videos! How big is your farm / homestead?

[@AlsHomestead]

@@techismad about 2 acres. Someday when I'm older, I plan to move to a larger property in the country.

[@shikhamaurya4433]

It is very helpful thankyou so much. Make more tutorials with Lightworks, again thanks.💜💜

[@techismad]

More to come!

[@nevillecreativitymentor]

Thank you ...was the exact effects I was looking for (I mean i can totally use it)... CHEERS

[@techismad]

Glad I could help!

[@tlderose]

Thanks for another great and easy to understand video. I'm a safety training developer and our company allows us to use the Free version of Lightworks. Recently, I was asked if I could take their video and do a couple of things such as point things out or add text onscreen. I've dabbled with Lightworks a little before. I noticed I was trying to use transparent pngs (logo, red x, etc., onscreen). I'm looking to have text fade/slide onto the screen and then off, this video helped fuel ideas. I am curious about a video on what I'll call "highlighting" mentioned by Travel Meister. I think of this idea similar to Camtasia Studio. Is there a way to add an arrow to point out something? I'm gonna guess you need a transparent file of an arrow. What other shapes are possible to be used within Lightworks? A video on shapes would be helpful. Finally, a video on how to make your on lower-third, with a logo would be another possible video. Thanks and keep up the great work!

hello. im a beginner to light works and i love your videos. but i use lightworks to make music videos ( try to anyway). i want to take it further and add the lyrics of a song to my video. could you do a video on how to do this please. id be really appreciated. :)

[@bryan4497]

Bro how can I use emojis in these texts?

[@carringtonscapers4368]

Thanks for another a most helpful video. I have a question though, - if I want to copy the same opening titles or set of closing credits onto another video how can I do this most easily in Lightworks?

[@techismad]

I just tried to copy a title animation from one project to another - no go I'm afraid. I was also trying to create a "preset" from my titles. Again no go. I don't think this is possible on Lightworks

[@spicylot6151]

Nice video and info..😊👍

[@oxpermis]

Génial ! Très généreux de votre part, merci beaucoup. Même sans maîtriser votre langue, reste efficace 🤝🏻

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BryonLape]

I like the honesty, but it would be very helpful to know how to find the text effects.
