![]() I will follow your advice best I can, though I also have absolutely no idea what you mean by aspect ratio. And that's what finally got me stumped enough to directly ask for help, I just have no idea WHY LW has a problem with one while WMP doesn't. And that's what I was having issues with, the uncompressed video result could be imported into Lightworks but was laggy (probably because they were only a couple seconds long and 3GB) but the compressed video couldn't be imported into LW, though Windows Media Player could play both. So what I'm getting from this: I should use the VirtualDub2 program, deshake the video I want to use in that, and then bring it into Lightworks after that's done.īut, I thought that's what I was doing, because after I couldn't get the VD plug-in to work in Lightworks, I basically decided that VD was a full program on its own and I'd just deshake the original video clips in VD and then bring the result into Lightworks and work with that. I barely know what a codec IS, so I'm hoping that I don't have to do anything special with the Cineform codec to make it work. But trying to look up how to do anything can be hard because guides tend to assume a certain level of base knowledge I really don't have, and even when I find step-by-step instructions on how to make something work, guides rarely explain WHY a particular thing works, so I don't really gain knowledge I can apply flexibly to other problems as I learn. Not gonna lie most of this is going above my head, I'm self-taught for everything to do with video editing, I basically decide that I want to achieve a certain thing and then smash my head against the brick wall of a software while Googling furiously for some kind of guide/instructions until I finally figure out something that works. There's a VirtualDub2.? I did not know this. What I would do differently with the free version: I would use the original files and not exported segments of the timeline as source for VD2 and I would crop to final aspect ratio with VD2 prior to import in Lightworks (and possibly after export a second time, depending on your target aspect ratio). I found that it works nicely with Deshaker 3.1:Įdit: The link above points to a description of one possible workflow with the Pro version. What you can do is using VirtualDub2, instead of outdated VirtualDub, with the Cineform codec as intermediate format. A bitrate of 1.119 Gigabit per second is quite demanding and needs very fast mass storage to be handled fluently. If uncompressed formats playback laggy, most likely the limits of file I/O are reached. Cinepak is what I would call a legacy codec, anyway. I'm not sure if Cinepak codec (from your compressed file) has ever been supported on import, but with your findings, currently probably not. I'm at a complete loss of what to do here, I don't know why Lightworks hates the 200MB file but not the 2GB file!! MP4 files but nothing could open them or play them properly. AVI file extensions (but the uncompressed file imported fine, if laggy?) and found this thread with a suggestion that seems like it would work () except it DOESN'T, the first time I tried running the batch file absolutely nothing happened, I tried again with VNC installed somewhere else and then the batch file created. ![]() After a TON of googling I found that it was probably a problem with. Compression is important.īUT! The file that went through compression before being saved imports into Lightworks without video. Turns out the first file is 2GB+ and the second is 200MB+, oops. I tried doing it the way that seemed right and the video played without lagging in Windows Media Player. ![]() " step because I didn't know what it meant. I saved the video, but while I could successfully import it into Lightworks, it lags HORRIBLY both in Lightworks and when playing the file using Media Player.Īfter some consideration it was because I'd skipped the "Select a video codec (menu: Video/Compression) and encode the video the usual way (menu: File/Save as AVI). I successfully got VirtualDub up and working with the deshaker, I extensively read the Deshaker webpage () and got the video how I wanted it. I'll just stabilize the video in VirtualDub directly, and then import and use that file. Okay, no matter, there's nothing that says I NEED to use it through a plug-in. ![]() I extensively read the creator's thread () but no matter what I do, I couldn't figure out how to get it to get past the launch, it always couldn't find the specified file. So I poked around until I found () I labouriously translated the video from Portugese, followed all the instructions. I tried to do it manually using keyframes and 3D DVE and that was hilariously bad. Then I noticed that her footage was quite shaky, and I wanted to see if there was an easy way to stabilize it. A friend took a bunch of videos during an event, I'm trying to mix them together. Here's what I'm trying to do: put together a video compilation. ![]()
