Once work is complete on a sequence, it can be exported out of Lightworks as a single continuous file, an archive, or as a sequence that can be shared with other editing systems. The range of export formats available to you varies according to the version of Lightworks (Free or Pro) that you have.

 

 

 

STEPS
1. Right-click on a clip, subclip, sequence, sequence viewer or timeline and, from the menu that opens, select Export.
2. Select the export format you require from one of the sub-menu headings, User Presets, Targets, Backup, Interchange, Media files, or Camera formats.
3. The Export options dialog box for the selected format opens.
