One thing I struggled with in Lightworks was how to easily move the edges of clips. You can see me walk through the edits I did starting at the 8:07 mark in the video that accompanies the article.


But once I got fluid with the Lightworks workflow, I got into a rhythm and things went pretty well. Again, it was a painful learning process getting used to those new keyboard shortcuts and getting used to this control surface, figuring out when to use it and when to stay on the keyboard or mouse. I took all my clips of music into Lightworks, and I organized everything just like I had in Premiere Pro, and then I pulled up my Premiere Pro sequence on the second monitor, replicated exactly what I had done there, and it was pretty easy. I also tried to determine if there were any ways I could have made it easier by using a different NLE. As in my Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve review previously in this series, I did a basic edit in Premiere Pro and then I took the clips that I used and the music and attempted to replicate that in Lightworks and see how easy or hard it was to do it.
