Lightworks 14 - Working with Audio

[@katehoyt8137]

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.

[@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

[@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!

[@infinitytech219]

Thank you very much because of you I have learnt to edit videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@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

[@vhbbhvvbbb4156]

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

[@AryanKumar-jo1pz]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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?

[@thegoodboys4981]

still relevant in 2020. thank you man

[@dalushin]

I didn't know you could delete a video's audio. very helpful

[@Skkorm]

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

[@MissGypsy]

Thank you so much for the videos on lightworks. With your help I have successfully made my travel video in lightworks for the first time. Keep up the good work.

[@techismad]

Cool! Just saw the video - it's really good!

[@MissGypsy]

ESH Tech Thank you so much

[@tomasinioproductions9737]

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

[@sander7838]

I was starting to get pretty salty, all the other videos say "press right click and you'll see some buttons" No I don't!! Thank you so much for this video!

[@marlenebarnes7026]

Fantastic - your videos are the best. I'm an absolute beginner and I understood everything. Thank you!

[@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!

[@monarc009]

Your voice... Your voice is a masterpiece.

[@carlospinto5451]

AWWW man! precious tips! I couldn't even remove the audio tracks from the segments or divide anything

[@tinatiller3371]

Your video has been such a great help to me. Thanks

[@techismad]

Glad it helped!

[@DrDianeDAddie]

You, Sir, are a Godsend! THANK YOU.

[@techismad]

Thank you too!

[@estrellamorales2567]

Thank you so much! You helped me with two important homeworks!

[@ComradeEasy]

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

[@thespiritualcentre9197]

Thanks for the video, excellent demonstration and easy to follow. Blessings

[@madrexertheboredtm7728]

dude you have helped me with a lot with the videos

[@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

[@HomeGrowen420]

im new to editing and needed to know to to edit sound this was perfect for all the basic stuff i'll be doing as i learn thank you

[@boomr334]

Shoo, thanks! Been trying to find a simple guide to cutting existing audio. Subbed.

[@techismad]

I'm glad my tutorial helped you out!

[@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.

[@DeAnnaTroupe]

Thanks for posting this tutorial. It was very helpful.

[@fityo]

Clear and concise. Very helpful, thank you.

[@matthewschneller3587]

[@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!

I can't even import audio. Wav or mp3. Just doesn't show up

[@TshimxMuaj]

I need help Im having a problem and its from my original video I cant hear any sound coming from my original video that im editing and I dont want to add any extra audio or music just the original video's audio but dont know how to put it in

[@techismad]

If you double click that original video, do you hear sound?

[@SwastikSwarupDas]

Really nice

[@andydenton5428]

Thanks for this mate. Trying my first edit ever at the moment but when i exported the file, it had no sound when i played it back from the file destination. Any advice?

[@techismad]

You could try to export it with a different format (MP4, MOV)

[@andydenton5428]

@@techismad all good mate. I re-recorded it and it worked okay

[@minimalist_spreadpeace_behappy]

[@markcoaster121]

Very useful

[@JortWearer]

You are the man!!

[@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!

[@Phon-YT]

wow, thanks allot

[@techismad]

You're welcome!

[@SR-ok6fz]

say we have some dialogue associated with some part of the video along with a background music running through the whole length . Can we decrease the background music just for the part where the audio track plays ?

[@techismad]

Sure - if you check out the video around the 10:00 minute mark, you'll see that I add markers to the audio track to add a fade in. A really simple way to "pull down" the audio levels of background music is this: Add TWO markers at the start of the audio you want to decrease the volume, and then TWO markers at the end of the decrease. Put your mouse on audio level in the middle of these markers, and then decrease the audio by grabbing the level with your mouse and pulling it down.

[@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

[@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

[@gangli7383]

Nice !

[@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

[@TheMagiccDust]

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

[@kabirsingofficial7170]

Hello sir please please make another turtiol..on how to sync audio on video...please...

[@Definitionnutrition]

This id easy and awesome

[@ibrahimzoabi9875]

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

[@SaiPatil1]

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

[@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

[@EthanCastter]

Hello this is a question, Why when I import my file into Lightworks, the audio cuts out from time to time??

[@jahu7431]

i have problem but i dont hear anything in lightworks when im editing my video please can you help me?

[@asapzombie226]

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

[@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?

[@Cecilior]

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

[@techismad]

What do you mean by configure the environments?

[@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.
