To return a detached license, click Return a detached license.

Automatic Backups
In addition to the regular backups Lightworks makes, automatic backups called Milestones are created for edits after every ten edit operations (mods). The last ten milestones are stored for an edit. The milestones are stored in Lightworks\Projects\Pxxxxxxx\Milestones\Exxxxx\. The milestones are numbered from zero (0) through nine (9), but are not necessarily in chronological order. You can change the number of milestones stored or the number of edit operations per milestone by editing the Lightworks configuration file. Open C:\Program Files\Lightworks\Lightworks\config.dat and add the following lines below the line run_always 1:
milestones_per_edit # mods_per_milestone #

EDITSHARE LIGHTWORKS README VERSION 11.0.0 NEW IN THIS VERSION

where # is the number you want, and then save the file. Both of these entries have a default of 10.
NOTE: If you increase them to a number over 10, you might notice a performance decrease.

Restoring from a Backup

In case of emergency, you can restore from an automatic backup. To do this, you need to copy a file from the backup folder to the project folder. If you have not deleted the backed-up edit from the project folder, you need to move the original file to another location before you copy in the backup file. To restore from an automatic backup, do the following.
TASK 1. Do the following to note the Cookie number for the edit you want to restore: a b Open Lightworks. Make sure the Cookie column displays in Bin List view by clicking the bin Cogs button and then selecting Columns > Custom > Customise, selecting Cookie, and clicking OK.

The bin displays the Cookie column.

c 2. 3.

Note the Cookie number for the edit you want to restore.

Browse to the backup location: Lightworks\Projects\Pxxxxxxx\Milestones\. Open the folder that has the same Cookie number as your edit.

EDITSHARE LIGHTWORKS README VERSION 11.0.0 NEW IN THIS VERSION

4. 5. 6.

Open your project folder in Lightworks\Projects\Pxxxxxx and move the file that matches your backup file to another location for safekeeping. Copy the backup file (that ends in a number from 1-9) to your project folder in Lightworks\Projects\Pxxxxxx. Rename the filename extension to .ed5, for example, rename 123456.1 to 123456.ed5. NOTE: If you did not move the original file to another location, a message box opens when you try to rename the file saying that a file with the same name is already present. Move the original file as described in Step 4, and then try the renaming again.

Dragging in Black
The Drag-in-Black option is no longer in the Edit cogs menu. You can drag in black at the start or end of a clip as a Replace or as an Insert. To drag in black, do the following.
TASK 1. 2. To drag in black as a Replace, press the Ctrl key, unjoin the cut where you want the black, and trim. To drag in black as an Insert, press the Shift key, unjoin the cut where you want the black, and trim.

Creating a User List You need to create a list of the computer names of the Lightworks systems that you want to connect to the shared environment. EditShare recommends renaming each computer to the name of its user. Instead of using a name like, for example, HP-Laptop, change the computer name to the users first name, for example, Max. You may use the computer name if you have reason not to use user names. Make sure the names are unique. To create a user list, do the following.
TASK 1. 2. Assemble the list of computers and names. To rename a computer, do the following: a b Right-click My Computer and select Properties. Click Advanced System Settings, and then click the Computer Name tab.

4.

Type each computer name, one per line, as shown in the following example: Max Edith Allan

5. 6.

Press Enter after the last name. Save the file in the Project Space folder, naming it userlist.dat. NOTE: Make sure .txt is not added to the end of the filename, for example, userlist.dat.txt.

File Ownership Consider the following about file ownership in Shared Projects: When you create a new edit or sequence in a Shared Project, you have ownership of it. This means that you have Read/Write access to it, and other users have only Read access to it. Other users can open the edit or sequence, play it, or make a copy of it, but they cannot make changes to the edit or sequence. After a user makes a copy of an edit or sequence, that user has Read/Write access to it. Any changes made to an edit or sequence are updated in all rooms of the Shared Project. In a Shared Project, a padlock icon appears on the right side of the edit viewer. Shots and subclips do not have specific ownership. They are available on a first come, first served basis. If User Max, for example, is already editing the database information of a shot or subclip, User Allan cannot make any changes to it until User Max is finished. Bins are shared with all users in a Shared Project. If one user makes a bin permanent, other users can search and find it. Bins are updated in all rooms when any user makes a change, for example, by adding or removing shots from a bin. A creator/owner of an edit or sequence can give permission to other users.
NOTE: You can only give permission to other users. You cannot take permission from another user.

To give permission to another user, do the following.

13

EDITSHARE LIGHTWORKS README VERSION 11.0.0 NEW IN THIS VERSION

TASK 1. As the creator/owner of an edit or sequence, click the padlock icon in the edit viewer. An Ownership dialog box opens. 2. 3. Click the User list and select a user name to transfer ownership to. The edit is automatically taken out of Rec mode. To set the ownership to anyone, select NONE from the User list.

Importing Stereoscopic Media You can import stereoscopic media if it is named correctly. Lightworks imports pairs of files as a single synced file.
NOTE: For information about selecting stereoscopic 3D options, see "Selecting Stereoscopic 3D Options" on page 193.

To import stereoscopic media, do the following.

TASK 1. Make sure the pair of files you want to import has identical filenames with the exception of left or right in the same position in the filename. For example, a pair named clip001left.mxf and clip001right.mxf will import successfully. A pair named clip001left.mxf and rightclip001.mxf will not import successfully. 2. 3. Make sure the pair of files has identical durations. A pair with different durations will not import successfully. Do one of the following: 4. Select the pair of files in your Windows filesystem and drag them onto the Import tool. Search for the pair from within the Import tool.

Import the files. Lightworks syncs the pair into a single file named, for example, clip001L. The clip appears in the bin. The Tracks column displays V1 LR, which is evidence that Lightworks successfully synced the two cameras and created a V track from the pair of files.

5.

Open the shot in the Timeline. A single V track appears that contains V1 L and V1 R.
