你剛拍完一支影片,可能是旅遊紀錄、活動花絮,或是想認真經營的 YouTube 頻道。打開電腦,發現內建的剪輯工具陽春到連字幕都很難加,轉場只有淡入淡出,音訊更是完全沒辦法調整。你開始搜尋「免費剪輯軟體」,下載了幾個號稱免費的,結果不是浮水印蓋在正中央,就是輸出解析度被鎖死,剪到一半還跳出付費牆。你只是想好好把影片剪完,不是想跟軟體鬥智。

一般人遇到這種狀況,通常會先找免費軟體湊合著用,但免費方案往往功能殘缺,輸出格式受限,甚至連基本的多軌編輯都沒有。另一條路是直接上專業軟體,但價格嚇人,學習曲線也陡峭,對一個月剪一兩支影片的人來說根本不划算。於是出現了一個切入點:有沒有軟體是「專業等級的功能,但提供免費入門方案」?讓你在還沒賺到錢之前,就能用業界規格的工具練習,等真的有需求再升級付費版。

01Lightworks 到底是什麼等級的剪輯軟體?

它是一套專業級的非線性剪輯軟體,開發商 LWKS 在影視產業有一定知名度,官方資料提到奧斯卡提名剪輯師會使用它的付費版本。免費版和付費版功能有落差,但核心的剪輯介面、時間軸操作、多機位編輯這些專業功能,免費版就能接觸到,不是那種閹割到只剩基本裁切的試用版。

02它跟一般免費剪輯軟體差在哪?

最大的差異在於定位。一般免費軟體是「把付費功能拿掉一些給你用」,Lightworks 是「把專業軟體的核心功能開放給你練功」。它提供精確到影格的時間軸編輯、即時特效、多機位剪輯,這些在免費剪輯軟體裡很少見。另外它內建超過 100 種特效和轉場,還有 69 種轉場、861 個預設,素材庫的深度明顯是往專業方向走。

03免費版和付費版到底差多少?

免費版是 7 天授權,到期後可以免費續約,安裝後註冊就能啟用。付費版則解鎖所有功能,包括 AVID DNxHD、Panasonic、Sony 等廣播級格式的輸出,以及 AAF、EDL、XML 的交換格式,可以跟 Media Composer、ProTools、Resolve 這些業界軟體互通。免費版能不能輸出 4K、能不能用所有格式,官方資料沒有明說,需要自己安裝確認。

044K 影片剪得動嗎?

官方資料寫它支援最高 4K 解析度輸出,付費版可以輸出 MPEG-4 格式到 4K,也能輸出 DVD 和 Blu-ray。但「支援 4K」和「你的電腦跑得動 4K」是兩回事,這套軟體是專業等級,對硬體需求不會低。如果你的電腦是文書機等級,建議先從 1080p 開始剪,確認跑得順再挑戰 4K。

05輸出影片方便嗎?

付費版可以直接輸出到 YouTube 和 Vimeo,也有 MPEG-4 格式可以選。免費版的輸出選項官方資料沒有完整列出,但可以確定的是,免費版在輸出格式和解析度上一定有限制,這是它跟付費版的主要區隔之一。如果你只是要上傳 YouTube,免費版通常夠用,但如果是接案要交片給客戶,可能就得考慮付費版。

06完全沒剪過片的新手適合嗎?

官方資料說「不需要先備經驗或技術熟練度」,介面設計也強調適合各種程度的使用者。但這套軟體的介面是英文的,而且功能排列是專業剪輯軟體的邏輯,跟 iMovie 或剪映那種直覺式介面完全不同。如果你完全沒碰過剪輯軟體,第一個禮拜會很痛苦,建議先看官方教學影片,或找幾篇中文教學文跟著做。

07剪 YouTube 影片夠用嗎?

以功能面來說非常夠用,甚至超出需求。多機位剪輯、即時特效、音訊混音這些功能,對 YouTube 創作者來說是加分項,不是必需品。比較需要注意的是免費版的輸出限制,如果你需要輸出特定格式或高解析度,可能要付費解鎖。另外它可以直接輸出到 YouTube,這對固定上片的創作者來說很方便。

08它跟 VSDC、VideoPad 這些免費軟體比起來如何?

這三套的定位不太一樣。VSDC 和 VideoPad 的評分人數都比 Lightworks 多(分別是 192 人和 161 人),代表使用者的樣本數較大,但 Lightworks 的專業背景是另外兩套沒有的。如果你追求的是「用業界規格的工具練習」,Lightworks 是唯一選擇;如果你只是要快速剪一支片子上傳,另外兩套的學習門檻可能更低。

09介面只有英文,看不懂怎麼辦?

這是它最大的門檻。官方資料顯示介面語系只有 English,沒有中文。如果你英文閱讀能力有限,操作上會很吃力,因為剪輯軟體的功能選單很多,不是查幾個單字就能解決。建議先到官方網站看有沒有中文教學文件,或搜尋「Lightworks 教學」看有沒有中文使用者寫的教學文,確認自己能接受再安裝。

10這套軟體更新頻率如何?

根據版本紀錄,它收錄了 8 個版本,最早是 2017 年,最近一次更新在 2025 年 11 月,近 12 個月更新 1 次,近 24 個月更新 2 次。以專業軟體來說,這個更新頻率不算快,但也不算放生,至少還有在維護。如果你很在意軟體是否頻繁更新,這點需要考慮進去。

11評分只有 7.4 分、75 人評分,這樣算好嗎?

7.4 分不算差,但評分人數只有 75 人,樣本數偏少,參考價值有限。對比同類軟體,VSDC 有 192 人評分、VideoPad 有 161 人、Movavi 有 201 人,Lightworks 的評分人數明顯少很多。這不代表它不好,但代表使用者的回饋樣本較少,你可能需要自己安裝測試,或去論壇看更多使用者的實際心得。

12有沒有功能相近但更多人用的選擇?

官方資料列了三套可以比較的軟體:VSDC Free Video Editor(192 人評分)、VideoPad Video Editor(161 人評分)、Movavi Video Editor(201 人評分)。這三套的評分人數都比 Lightworks 多,代表有更多使用者實際用過。如果你不確定要選哪套,可以都裝來試用,反正免費,實際操作過最準。
