Tips/tricks and documentation for Lightworks NLE

This is an Unofficial Site to help the Lightworks (Beta) NLE community share tips/tricks and documentation.

Please go through the Lightworks Quickstart Guide before using this Wiki - otherwise much here will not make sense! There is also the longer Lightworks Guide 2010 and Install Guide which is essential reading.

Hopefully this is of some use. I don't particularly like Wiki markup language but it is better than nothing. Hopefully an official Wiki will be set up but until then this should help.

Anyone can and is encouraged to help write the wiki. Please discuss any major changes here.
