As the laptop's drive is 250 gb and that I have a lot of 1080p original clips on it , I used the create link way to import them.But now the person that lended me the laptop want's to get it back so I bought an external HDD Thinking I could export the whole project with the linked media as a lightworks archive on the HDD.
So I click export, the export window appears.I select export whole project as a lightworks archive with linked media.
But when it's exporting it says exporting material... and the names of the files it is exporting . But these file names are all followed by an (audio files).
So is it really exporting ALL of the original media imported in lightworks or just the sound?
And also can I just update this archive when I import new material into the project Or do I really need to do it all again (because it takes about an hour! ).
Thank's in advance for all your help.
I hope I'm clear enough and I apologize for my english

When I exported a clip I saw the render window opens automatically and even when I have already rendered the sequence, the window opens.

And if the render starts automatically, where is the convenience to render before exporting?
Is it all about the time LW takes to export (shorter if I have already rendered, longer is not)? Or is it necessary if I work with proxy files and then switch to the intermediate?

I hope not to have repeated a question already answered.
Thanks.
Andrea

EDIT----

Another question is about the better option to choose for the rendering:
1-When to choose 720p instead of 1080i or 1080sf? It belongs with the project format? or I can choose any of these as I prefer?
2-When to choose YUYV instead of DVCPRO100 or Matrox ecc... ? I know the difference between the codecs but how the are linked to my project?

However, in my very first time using the program I find that I cannot import any material whatsoever. The attached image has a typical error message. I have tried changing the destination of the import; I've tried linking, importing, transcoding etc. -- nothing works.

Help!]]> Codecs / Importing / Exporting / Transcoding Mon, 17 Jun 2013 00:57:39 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48578&Itemid=81#48578 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48578&Itemid=81#48578
I am stuck at some issue with importing the MOD files into lightworks

I have searched the forum and I came out on this page:
www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=15831&Itemid=81

So I have tried to convert the MOD files to MPG files with sdcopy and some other programs but it never worked in lightworks properly

I have also tried to use ffmpeg to convert MOD to avi but it always gives errors

The problem is when I import converted files the video is played but there is no AUDIO
(I am importing files without transcoding them)

I also don't understand which option should I choose in lightworks in project options - video format?

Can somebody help me getting the MOD files right in lightworks]]> Codecs / Importing / Exporting / Transcoding Sun, 16 Jun 2013 20:53:40 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48568&Itemid=81#48568 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48568&Itemid=81#48568 The clip FPS is same as project FPS, 60

I also just realized that any import acts the same way? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,]]> Codecs / Importing / Exporting / Transcoding Sun, 16 Jun 2013 18:42:39 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48503&Itemid=81#48503 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48503&Itemid=81#48503 just starting out as a self taught editor, lol so expect a lot of questions!

my first problem is this,

my AVI file i'm importing is a recording of battlefield 3 (not that you need to know!) @ 1600x900 30fps

in VLC Player, it plays fine in 16:9 ratio. (jittery sometimes, but i think its the size and my slow HDD!),
but as soon as i import it to LW, it goes into 4:3 i think.

i've tried working around it and converting it to mp4 before importing it, but then i get audio gobbles in anything i play it in. (quite litterally sounds like gremlins gobbling in the background! lol)

could do with some help! thanks!]]> Codecs / Importing / Exporting / Transcoding Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:16:39 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48483&Itemid=81#48483 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48483&Itemid=81#48483 Codecs / Importing / Exporting / Transcoding Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:17:13 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48457&Itemid=81#48457 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=23&id=48457&Itemid=81#48457
I am currently trying to import AVI files. I know that on the free version, AVI files with audio aren't supported, but the fact that I am under trial of the pro version should remedy that issue.

Basically, when I try to import my AVI files, the program tells me - "Failed to import", unknown error.

I think it could possible have something to do with the fact that every time I open the program, it alerts me that QTCF.dll is missing from my computer, but after I click ok, the program starts fine. If this is the issue, I'm not sure how to remedy it. I've got Quicktime installed and I've repaired it in case that was the issue, but still no dice.

I'm running Windows 8, if that helps.
