Anybody know how to close the Lightworks Status Window? I somehow turned it on but cannot remove it while in LWKS.

Thanks!]]> Hints & Tips Fri, 10 May 2013 14:19:05 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=45813&Itemid=81#45813 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=45813&Itemid=81#45813 ]]> Hints & Tips Fri, 10 May 2013 14:14:22 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=45794&Itemid=81#45794 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=45794&Itemid=81#45794
Is there a way to stop an edit on the last frame with content instead that on a black one?]]> Hints & Tips Fri, 10 May 2013 11:28:17 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=45257&Itemid=81#45257 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=45257&Itemid=81#45257
I'm looking at converting my old VHS tapes to DVD or perhaps Bluray. For the most part I'm pretty confident I can do it and use LW to edit parts I don't like or language I want to "beep" over. What I'd some input on is remastering & improving image quality. I think LW has some noise reduction and color correction tools. Would these help in the process? Is there anything else I should be looking at or thinking about? Any advice on remastering is welcome.]]> Hints & Tips Sat, 04 May 2013 09:31:00 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44611&Itemid=81#44611 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44611&Itemid=81#44611 Hints & Tips Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:13:44 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44410&limit=6&limitstart=6&Itemid=81#44410 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44410&limit=6&limitstart=6&Itemid=81#44410 With 720p exports everything went fine, but when I tried to export 1080p25 video, after several minutes of rendering Lightworks just quit.

As it seems, today I could find the cause for that and hopefully solve it:
I always render to some external media, in order to save render time. But still, as it seems somehow the local disk C: where my Lightworks is installed is used for caching the video stream during export.
I noticed that from my 80 GB disk less than 4 were still free. So I cleaned some stuff in order to have around 30 GB free and rebooted.
And voila, my full HD rendering is running, at least until now (around 07:50:00 hours out of initially 08:15:00 remaining).

Thought that might be usefuly to some of you guys: Keep an eye on your (system) disk space (or where Lightworks is installed?), otherwise you might see your rendering process saying good-bye

Of course the interesting question remains, does Lightworks do the caching, or QuickTime, or Windows?
And then it would be interesting to know which location is being used for that, it might need some cleanup once in a while as well.

Edit: It cannot be my page file since I switched of VM completely.]]> Hints & Tips Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:06:42 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44245&Itemid=81#44245 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44245&Itemid=81#44245
Thanks very much.]]> Hints & Tips Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:19:23 +0000 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44201&Itemid=81#44201 http://www.lwks.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=27&id=44201&Itemid=81#44201
Between then and now I had to re-prep my PC, reinstalling the OS from scratch. I have installed LightWorks again but I'm having trouble getting it to work acceptably. My source video files are from a Canon 650D (T4i). I remembered that I needed to use EyeFrameConverter to transcode them before importing into LW, so I'm doing that, but once the files are imported they play back very poorly - they typically start OK but then the video "freezes", although the audio plays on smoothly - which is making it unusable.

The machine I'm using isn't very powerful by today's standards (details below) and I might be inclined to blame that. I don't remember having this sort of problem previously though, so I'm wondering if I've just forgotten to do something, or I'm doing it wrong. Can anyone give me a shortlist of exactly what steps are needed, what the encodings/compressions or whatever should be etc.?

Many thanks.
