1
00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:05,100
This video, we're going to look at some advanced features of light works, and if you haven't seen

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:10,290
the last video that I made about Lightworkers 14, I would recommend you see that because it helps you

3
00:00:10,290 --> 00:00:13,950
to set up your project, get your clips in and start editing.

4
00:00:14,130 --> 00:00:16,830
What you can see on my screen is that I've already started a movie.

5
00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:22,590
Now I've been to the amazing video dot and I've just downloaded some really cool clips to do with the

6
00:00:22,590 --> 00:00:23,460
Earth and nature.

7
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:29,520
And I've spent some time double clicking each one and marking my ins and outs just to make sure that

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,130
I don't waste time later.

9
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:33,690
And I've already started editing this movie.

10
00:00:33,690 --> 00:00:39,810
So start off with a really nice sequence of the Earth and then some aerial footage, some waves, and

11
00:00:39,810 --> 00:00:42,120
then this amazing dragonfly in slow motion.

12
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:47,790
You'll notice that I don't have an audio track in my video and that's on purpose because I'm going to

13
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:49,590
put some music in at the end.

14
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:55,590
You can see that I've changed my real I.D. to number so that I can see which order my clips are going

15
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:55,680
in.

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,020
So let's just go for number five.

17
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:00,150
And what you'll see is when I pick it up and put it in.

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,460
You can see that the audio is there, so why is that, why is the audio missing from here but over here?

19
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:10,800
Well, the secret comes in just clicking this A1 and A2.

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,620
Now, that stands for audio one and two.

21
00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:16,820
Now, in theory, what that means is the left and the right audio.

22
00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:18,420
That's a stereo track.

23
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:21,750
So what I'm going to do is just click undo.

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,590
I'm going to go to my audio and I'm going to switch all the audio off there.

25
00:01:26,190 --> 00:01:28,680
I'm going to pick up clip number five and I'm going to put it down.

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,410
You can see the audio doesn't come with it.

27
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:35,180
So what happens if you put a video in and it comes with audio and you don't want the audio?

28
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:36,890
So let's just go with that scenario.

29
00:01:37,110 --> 00:01:38,730
I'll switch the audio back on there.

30
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:41,610
Will going to go back to that.

31
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:46,830
Clip over there and it comes with the audio, and I don't want that audio.

32
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:50,510
So what you would normally do with a clip that you don't want is just to.

33
00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:50,920
Right.

34
00:01:50,930 --> 00:01:53,970
Click on it and press delete or remove, whichever.

35
00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:58,520
Now, in this case, what I'm going to do is I only want to delete the audio and not the video itself.

36
00:01:58,940 --> 00:02:00,920
So I'm going to go and disable the video channel.

37
00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:05,570
You can see it's kind of great out, so it's no longer being edited.

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,310
And I'm going to right.

39
00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:13,190
Click and just delete the audio and you can see the audio disappears, but the video stays.

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,700
Now, if I very quickly create my video, which is quite easy, because I've moved almost in and out

41
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:20,840
exactly where they should be.

42
00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:25,580
So it's a simple case of picking up and dropping like so.

43
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:32,040
Like, sir, and you can see I've already put the audio in there, so let's fix that before we cause

44
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,720
a problem, disable the audio.

45
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,460
And put that in there, just move it along a little bit.

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,950
And my final two clips, you can see they're very long.

47
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:50,550
And the final clip there, which is the sunset now, if I just zoom out, you can see my project as

48
00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:50,970
a whole.

49
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,730
If I just kind of scrub through that, you can see.

50
00:02:54,850 --> 00:02:59,800
It's quite a nice abstract video and it kind of moves along.

51
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,900
So what if I wanted to put an audio track in there that didn't come with the original video?

52
00:03:06,930 --> 00:03:08,090
Well, that's actually quite easy.

53
00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:12,010
What you need to do, first of all, is go and get a music track.

54
00:03:12,310 --> 00:03:17,590
Now, to warn you, Lightworkers can be a little bit funny with some MP3 files.

55
00:03:17,620 --> 00:03:21,630
So what I've done is I've managed to get my music as a wave file.

56
00:03:21,940 --> 00:03:23,650
This is kind of a safe way to do it.

57
00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:27,240
And lt works doesn't throw as many errors as it does with empathises.

58
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,430
This is definitely one of the weak things about light works.

59
00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:32,680
So what I'm going to do is I'm in my local files.

60
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,100
I'm going to click on the music wav file and I'm going to import it.

61
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,970
And what you should see now in my content.

62
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:49,020
Is the music file is now waiting there for all that needs to be done is to move the music file onto

63
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:49,680
the video file.

64
00:03:49,690 --> 00:03:53,480
But before I do that, I want to give you a warning before you start adding music.

65
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:58,320
Just make sure that your video is what it should be and do your rough cuts as they should be.

66
00:03:58,350 --> 00:04:03,930
Now, I noticed that when I look at my timeline, I've got two extremely long clips and something about

67
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:04,770
that doesn't seem right.

68
00:04:04,810 --> 00:04:09,930
So what I'm going to do is just play, roughly speaking, so that I can see what's going on.

69
00:04:09,930 --> 00:04:10,440
So that.

70
00:04:11,370 --> 00:04:15,450
First part is obviously what I want because it's my introduction, so I want that to be a little bit

71
00:04:15,450 --> 00:04:20,640
slow and then as it goes on, it's going to change to the next clip, which is OK.

72
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,070
The waves are pretty OK, but having a look at it now, I can see that they're a little bit long, so

73
00:04:27,070 --> 00:04:33,280
I'm going to follow my own advice and I'm just going to go to the end of the clip with my mouse.

74
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:34,330
Click on my mouse.

75
00:04:35,310 --> 00:04:36,750
Just drag it in a little bit.

76
00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:39,330
That's all I want to do, just make it a little bit shorter.

77
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,600
I'm going to go through and just kind of do that to all the clips that I've got just to make sure.

78
00:04:45,780 --> 00:04:50,070
Now, the reason I'm doing that before I put the music in is once the music is there, it's going to

79
00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:54,300
be a little bit harder to figure out all of these cuts, and it's going to make my life a little bit

80
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:55,140
more complicated.

81
00:04:55,390 --> 00:04:59,850
So so far, it's looking good and I'm just going to forward it through and just see what's happening.

82
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,300
I think this mountain thing is a little bit too long going to shorten it.

83
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:11,370
Just hop out there and then definitely my slow motion wave and hand off the boat is really a long clip.

84
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:13,770
So let's just have a look at that slow motion wave.

85
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:19,600
That's a pretty good shot, but I don't think we need to see it for that long.

86
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,550
So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to cut the start of that wave down.

87
00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:30,000
Till it starts breaking, that should be really yep, that's where I want it.

88
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:36,500
And I think I want it to be about that long bout.

89
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,140
There were the surfers are so I'll just stop it there again, take my mouse to the end.

90
00:05:44,180 --> 00:05:46,580
Just drag it down to about.

91
00:05:49,330 --> 00:05:54,730
There and definitely the hand in the water now is just too long, so what I'm going to do is I'm going

92
00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:55,090
to.

93
00:05:56,910 --> 00:05:59,700
Start with the hand already in the water and.

94
00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:07,830
Make it about that short they up so that to me kind of works a little bit better so we don't have to

95
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:09,030
really long clips.

96
00:06:09,330 --> 00:06:12,360
Let's put the music in that we've been kind of waiting for all video.

97
00:06:12,380 --> 00:06:13,280
Let me just stop that.

98
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:18,680
Now you can see that my video was activated on my audio isn't I'm going to activate my audio.

99
00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,950
I'm going to pick up the sound and I'm going to drop it in there.

100
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,020
You can see that, of course, the music track is way longer than the video track.

101
00:06:27,030 --> 00:06:32,650
That kind of makes sense because most music tracks are in the minutes and this video is barely two minutes.

102
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:36,660
So what we'll do is we'll just go to the beginning and see what it sounds like.

103
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,370
OK, that's pretty good, but part of the track that I wanted was actually where you can kind of see

104
00:06:47,370 --> 00:06:51,230
the waveform over here, it was where it kind of gets a bit more dramatic.

105
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,100
So let's just have a look.

106
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,570
Really, I wanted to start the drum, so let's just follow the same rules as before.

107
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:07,910
So now in this case, I'm going to do it wrong so that you can see what a mess we can make out of it.

108
00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:13,910
So if I go over here and start editing, you can see I'm editing both the video and the audio, and

109
00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:15,410
that's not really what I want to do.

110
00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:17,410
So, again, let me just undo that.

111
00:07:17,810 --> 00:07:25,460
So it's very important you learn how to disable and enable separate channels that see the video or audio.

112
00:07:25,460 --> 00:07:27,370
And that way you're not going to get yourself into a mess.

113
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,010
Now, if I do this, you can see that I can move it around.

114
00:07:31,010 --> 00:07:34,860
This is a really inefficient way of moving large film or large audio.

115
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:41,510
So what I'm going to do is move my mouse all the way over here just before the drums come in and I'm

116
00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:44,420
on my keyboard going to press the let us see what that does.

117
00:07:44,420 --> 00:07:45,620
It creates a cut.

118
00:07:46,370 --> 00:07:47,600
I'm going to right.

119
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Click on the first part and I'm just going to delete it.

120
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,930
Now, that delete means.

121
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:57,700
Move everything that was away into the start of the video, so now let's have a look at our video.

122
00:08:02,650 --> 00:08:06,700
OK, now what I'm going to do here, I noticed that maybe I cut it a bit too soon.

123
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:08,620
So I'm going to add a bit of the music again.

124
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:13,860
And you can see where my mouth is, that's where the drums come in, so let's just listen to that again.

125
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:19,040
That's actually quite a good start.

126
00:08:23,220 --> 00:08:29,130
So what I'm going to do just for the sake of drama, I'm going to have those drums starting just before

127
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760
we like.

128
00:08:31,770 --> 00:08:37,020
So now, of course, when we start this video, it really doesn't sound good, because if you now listen

129
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:43,410
to it, it kind of starts in the middle of our track and you get the feeling I've just cut this music

130
00:08:43,770 --> 00:08:45,060
without really thinking about it.

131
00:08:45,090 --> 00:08:47,370
So what I need to do now is edit my audio.

132
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:49,230
I'm going to go and click on the audio tab.

133
00:08:49,230 --> 00:08:52,800
You can see that the video is very small when you're in the audio tab.

134
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,900
Really, you're only thinking about audio.

135
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:56,380
The video is not important.

136
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,150
We've got the edit tab for that one.

137
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:00,960
So what we're going to do in the audio is just now play.

138
00:09:02,670 --> 00:09:04,550
And you can see I have some levels over here.

139
00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:09,150
One thing to note, you don't want your levels ever reaching zero.

140
00:09:09,150 --> 00:09:14,210
They really should be around minus six to minus four, absolute maximum.

141
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,160
Ideally, they should hover around the minus 12 mark.

142
00:09:19,230 --> 00:09:20,790
So I can see already I'm reaching there.

143
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,620
So what I'm going to do is just.

144
00:09:24,150 --> 00:09:29,520
I'm going to move down the levels of my music to about minus six and, you know, it's a stereo track,

145
00:09:29,530 --> 00:09:32,100
so you have a left and right sound as well.

146
00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:36,010
Yeah, I feel a lot better about that.

147
00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:40,180
That doesn't seem like it's going to go too far loud and distort.

148
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,700
So what are all these markers that you can see over here?

149
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:45,840
You can see that there's a whole bunch of little markers.

150
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,410
Well, going to go outside, select all of them.

151
00:09:50,430 --> 00:09:51,090
Right click.

152
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:55,590
And I'm going to say reset the track levels because I don't want Lightworkers to do anything for me.

153
00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:56,840
I want to be in control here.

154
00:09:57,090 --> 00:09:58,800
So let's go back to the beginning of the video.

155
00:09:59,430 --> 00:10:00,420
We start off with the Earth.

156
00:10:00,630 --> 00:10:03,630
What would be really cool is if we faded in the music.

157
00:10:03,630 --> 00:10:04,470
So let's do that.

158
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:05,940
Let's add a marker.

159
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,480
You notice it adds a marker to both the left and right kind of helps you out.

160
00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:12,150
And I'm going to go to about here.

161
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:20,460
I'm going to take my first marker and I'm going to move it down a little bit similar to audacity, if

162
00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:23,460
you remember adjusting the volume levels of our sound in there.

163
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:28,500
So you can see I've gone from zero all the way up to the normal volume that I wanted to.

164
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,120
Let's just have a look at what that looks like.

165
00:10:37,870 --> 00:10:40,630
Now, I think we're going to add a little bit more here.

166
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,390
I want the Fed to be a bit faster.

167
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,140
So what I'll do is that I suppose, and let's listen to that.

168
00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:53,700
That's a lot better, so the music comes in, builds up a little bit.

169
00:10:56,970 --> 00:10:57,980
And let's have a look.

170
00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:08,040
So that's me putting in a simple feed we can all to have a look at the end of the track.

171
00:11:08,110 --> 00:11:14,190
You can see my video ends here and yet my music continues for absolute ever again.

172
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,630
Let's just do a little cut, which should be a simple C.

173
00:11:19,860 --> 00:11:26,610
Let's go over here and just remove that back portion and let's put in a fade.

174
00:11:26,610 --> 00:11:29,610
So that will be click near the end of the track.

175
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,260
Click again for another level.

176
00:11:33,130 --> 00:11:36,130
And put it all the way down to a mute and what will happen is.

177
00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:43,110
And that sounds really good.

178
00:11:43,130 --> 00:11:47,990
Let's go back to the edit tab and you can see that everything I've done in my audio tab is now here

179
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:51,290
showing me that my levels are changing that re-enable the video.

180
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:52,720
Let's zoom out a little bit.

181
00:11:53,180 --> 00:11:58,400
So here we have a really good looking video, audio from the outside thrown in, remembering that we

182
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,110
can disable and enable tracks so that we can edit audio and video separately.

183
00:12:03,410 --> 00:12:08,930
And also, we took special note of making sure the levels of our music were down so that they weren't

184
00:12:08,930 --> 00:12:09,710
distorting.

185
00:12:10,010 --> 00:12:12,260
And that's really what it means when it hits zero.

186
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:13,780
You get a really ugly sound.

187
00:12:13,790 --> 00:12:17,330
So keep an eye on that and have a go at putting sound in your video.
