1 Lightworks Import Won't Recognize my FLV Files Posted by Blue11msu - 17 Feb :41 I am new to video editing so I do not have a good grasp on all the terms and what have you, but to begin with, I use OBS to record my videos and play them in VLC media player. After installing Lightworks, I started to watch the tutorial video about the basics of importing and editing, but in the import window, when I went to my video files, none of my videos appeared in the window. I have download the MediaInfo program and here is what it has said: General Complete name Format File size Overall bit rate Writing application : C:UsersHunterVideosPush Saberleo.flv : Flash Video : 30.9 MiB : Kbps : Open Broadcaster Software v0.638b filesize : Video Bit rate Width Height : Kbps : pixels : 768 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode Frame rate : Constant : fps Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : Stream size : 27.1 MiB (88%) 1 / 5

2 Audio Format Format/Info Format profile : AAC : Advanced Audio Codec : LC Codec ID : 10 Bit rate Channel(s) Channel positions Sampling rate Compression mode : 128 Kbps : 2 channels : Front: L R : 48.0 KHz : Lossy Stream size : 3.46 MiB (11%) I am in no particular rush, I just was needing a way to redo the audio on one of my gameplay videos and now I am at a standstill. Also, if anyone knows any better tutorials online that can help learning the in's and out's of Lightworks, please do include that too. Thanks Posted by arniepix - 17 Feb :49 That's because LW doesn't edit Flash video files. You should record them in some other wrapper, like.mov or.avi. 2 / 5

3 Posted by donkpow - 17 Feb :51 I didn't know OBS recorded in flv. Do you have any transcoding software? I would scale the video to 1280x720 and enforce a constant frame rate during the transcode. Posted by Blue11msu - 17 Feb :55 I do not have any transcoding software, which ones would you recommend? Posted by donkpow - 17 Feb :53 I use ffmpeg. Most free transcoders are UI's for ffmpeg, anyway. It has command line interface only. That puts a lot of people off. You get all the features of ffmpeg from the command line. You don't always get that when you use one of the programs. You have to decide if you have the space to work with uncompressed media. That's the best for editing but it takes up a lot of space. There is also proxy workflow. It is easier to work with but it takes up a lot of space and not all transcoders give you that capability.

4 Since ClipToolz is 64 bit, I don't have it. Does it receive input to scale? Posted by RWAV - 18 Feb :21 Yes Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but... Posted by DevourEclipse - 09 Sep :45 Is ffmpeg trusted? Re: Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but... Posted by hugly - 09 Sep :42 Hello and welcome! FFmpeg is an open source program to convert media using command line parameters. Many people use it to convert all sorts of source formats to suitable formats for editing purposes prior to import into NLE's. Some knowledge about proper settings is needed. What do you mean saying "Is ffmpeg trusted"? Posted by donkpow - 09 Sep :16 I trust ffmpeg. Posted by hugly - 09 Sep :24 4 / 5

5 When creating a new command line, I trust in testing my ffmpeg settings with various source files. 5 / 5
