英文介面的專業剪輯軟體 Lightworks 免費版夠用嗎
你手上有一批影片素材,可能是活動紀錄、上課內容或生活片段,想把它們剪成一支像樣的影片。你試過系統內建的照片應用程式,只能做最陽春的裁剪,連字幕都加不進去;你也想過找網路上那些號稱免費的剪輯軟體,但裝了之後才發現浮水印蓋在正中央,或是一匯出就鎖住進階功能。你只是想好好剪一支片,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,但免費方案往往限制一堆,不是輸出解析度被鎖,就是功能精簡到連多軌都放不開。另一條路是直接上專業級工具,可是那價格和學習曲線又讓人卻步。於是市場上出現一類「從專業領域下放」的剪輯工具:它本來是給電影工業用的,但另外提供一個功能受限、卻足以完成日常剪輯工作的免費版本。這類軟體的切入點,是讓你在不花錢的前提下,先體驗專業剪輯流程的運作方式,再決定要不要為了解鎖更多功能而付費。
01Lightworks 免費版和付費版差在哪裡
官方說明指出,Lightworks 提供兩種授權:一種是免費的七天循環授權,安裝後註冊即可啟用;另一種是 Pro 付費授權,可選擇月費、年費或永久買斷。免費版可以正常使用剪輯功能,但輸出格式和解析度會受限,例如無法使用 AVID DNxHD、Panasonic、Sony 等廣播級格式,也不能輸出 AAF、EDL、XML 這類與其他軟體交換的專案檔。付費版才解鎖全部輸出選項,包括 4K 的 MPEG-4 和 DVD、Blu-ray 輸出。
02這套軟體能剪 4K 影片嗎
官方資料顯示,Lightworks 支援最高 4K 的影片解析度,並提供多種格式的輸出選項。但要注意,免費版的輸出格式和解析度會受到限制,官方說明中明確提到 4K 輸出是付費版的功能之一。如果你手上的素材是 4K 畫質,免費版可能可以匯入編輯,但最終要輸出成 4K 檔案時,就需要確認免費授權是否涵蓋,否則就得考慮付費方案。
03它有哪些內建特效和轉場可以用
根據官方說明,Lightworks 內建超過 100 種影片特效和轉場,另外搭配 NewBlue TotalFX 工具包,提供超過 1,500 種預設效果,涵蓋字幕、穩定、轉場、濾鏡、背景產生器和影片特效。轉場部分有 69 種,加上 861 個預設可供選擇,包含 3D、燈光、色彩和動態等類型。這些特效在免費版中是否全部開放,官方資料沒有明確列出,需要實際安裝後確認。
04音訊編輯能做到什麼程度
官方說明中提到,Lightworks 具備進階音訊編輯功能,包括混音、即時音訊特效和精確的音訊同步。這表示你不只能把影片剪好,還能針對聲音做細部調整,例如把訪談的雜音處理掉、調整背景音樂的音量,或是讓多軌音訊精準對齊畫面。對於需要處理訪談、Podcast 或活動錄影的人來說,這些功能足以應付多數日常需求。
05剪好的影片可以直接上傳 YouTube 嗎
可以。官方說明指出,Lightworks 提供與 YouTube 和 Vimeo 的整合,可以直接從軟體內部上傳影片,不需要先輸出成檔案再手動上傳。這對經常發布影片到網路的人來說很方便,省去轉檔和上傳的步驟。不過要注意,免費版的輸出格式和解析度限制會影響上傳的畫質,如果要用 4K 上傳,還是得確認付費授權的涵蓋範圍。
06新手完全沒剪過片,用這套會太難嗎
官方說明強調,Lightworks 不需要先備經驗或技術能力,介面設計是基於時間軸的剪輯方式,可以做逐格精確的編輯,適合從簡單的影片裁剪到複雜的製作。但這套軟體原本是專業領域使用的工具,操作邏輯和一般消費級軟體不同,新手需要花時間熟悉時間軸、軌道和工具列的概念。如果你完全沒碰過剪輯軟體,建議先看官方教學影片,或從簡單的專案開始練習。
07英文不好,介面只有英文會很卡嗎
Lightworks 的介面語言只有英文,官方資料沒有提到其他語系。如果你不熟悉英文介面,操作上會需要花額外時間查詢按鈕功能和選單名稱。剪輯軟體的功能名稱通常有固定用語,例如 timeline(時間軸)、trim(修剪)、export(輸出),這些詞彙學起來之後,往後用其他剪輯軟體也能通用。但如果完全看不懂英文,操作門檻會明顯提高,建議先確認自己能否接受全英文環境。
08這套軟體適合哪種人用
根據官方說明,Lightworks 的定位是從 YouTube 創作者到好萊塢專業人士都能使用的工具,強調具備專業級剪輯功能,包括即時特效、進階修剪和多機位編輯。適合需要精確控制剪輯細節、想要體驗專業剪輯流程的人,尤其是對輸出格式有特定要求、或需要與其他專業軟體交換專案檔的使用者。如果你只是偶爾剪個生活影片,這套軟體的功能可能超出你的需求。
09想要中文介面,這套適合嗎
不適合。Lightworks 的介面語系只有英文,官方資料中沒有提供中文選項。如果你需要中文介面才能順利操作,這套軟體會讓你花很多時間在理解選單和按鈕上,而不是專注在剪輯本身。市面上有其他免費剪輯軟體提供中文介面,例如 VSDC Free Video Editor 或 VideoPad Video Editor,雖然功能定位不同,但至少語言門檻較低,可以考慮先從那些軟體開始。
10免費版輸出影片有什麼限制
官方說明指出,免費版採用七天循環授權,註冊後即可使用,但輸出選項會受限。具體來說,付費版才能解鎖所有輸出格式,包括 AVID DNxHD、Panasonic、Sony、AVCHD、MOV、MXF、AVI 等廣播級格式,以及 4K 的 MPEG-4 輸出。免費版的輸出格式和解析度上限,官方資料沒有明確列出,需要安裝後實際測試,或到官方網站查閱最新的授權比較表。
11這套軟體更新頻率如何
根據收錄的版本紀錄,Lightworks 從 2021 年 7 月到 2025 年 11 月之間共收錄 8 個版本,近 12 個月更新 1 次,近 24 個月更新 2 次。以這個頻率來看,它不算頻繁更新的軟體,但也不是完全停擺。如果你很在意軟體是否持續獲得修補和功能更新,這個更新節奏可以作為參考,但實際情況還是要以官方發布為準。
12和 VSDC、VideoPad 比起來,這套的定位有什麼不同
這三套都是免費或提供免費版本的剪輯軟體,但定位不同。Lightworks 強調專業級功能,例如多機位編輯、逐格精確修剪、與 Media Composer、ProTools、FCP、Resolve 等軟體的專案交換能力,這是它與其他免費軟體最大的差異。VSDC 和 VideoPad 的評分人數分別是 192 人和 161 人,比 Lightworks 的 75 人多,表示有較多使用者實際體驗過。如果你需要的是專業工作流程,Lightworks 的切入點不同;如果只是要順手好用的免費剪輯工具,另外兩套可能更親民。

這一版改了什麼
What's new in this version:
Lightworks 2021.2.1 (64-bit)
- No changelog available for this version
Lightworks 2021.2 (64-bit)
Main Features:
Sequence Export Improvements:
- This latest release adds intelligence to the export panel allowing you to easily see what format option your sequence can be exported as, even allowing you to export if the exact sequence frame rate is not allowed/supported.
- Any export options that cannot generate the chosen aspect ratio are now clearly marked in red on the export panel and if chosen, show a helpful explanatory message regarding what will happen.
Transition Appearance Improvements:
- Lightworks 2021.2 shows a much better representation of the transition and what media is available on either side of the cut. The image below shows the standard transition over two clips that have enough media available.
- In previous versions of Lightworks (prior to 2021.2) this would have looked the same had there not been enough media present. Lightworks now provides a clear indication that the incoming clip does not have enough media present to perform the transition (the red line and darker grey section) This indicates that playback will be incorrect over this section, giving you a clear warning that the effect needs adjustment.
Subtitle Workflow:
- Using a combination of ranged Cue Markers and BITC (Burnt in Timecode) functionality now performs a subtitle workflow. Simply mark and park the section where you want the subtitle to appear and click the Cue Marker icon (keyboard shortcut 'm')
- In the ‘Description’ field of the Cue Marker, type the text you want to appear.
- Open the BITC tab, select the ‘Sequence’ subtab and enable the ‘Cue description’ label. This then displays the Cue Marker text on the sequence viewer which can be modified as desired, change the font, size, colour, background colour, position and more.
- This can be done throughout the entire sequence and the best part is with 2021.2 you can now export the Cue Marker list as the Subtitle SRT format, which can be shared and imported into other applications such as Davinci Resolve.
Find: Clip References Improvements:
- One of the extremely powerful features of the Lightworks application is the ability to search through a sequence and generate results based purely on the search criteria, to either highlight the matches, create a bin of matches, or create an entirely new sequence that contains just the sections that match the search criteria, removing everything else.
In Lightworks 2021.2 the ‘Jump to’ options have been restored and new search criteria has been added to make it even easier to find or create results based on these new options:
- All the Segments within your sequence with or without “Effects” can now be searched for and the results displayed as required. To narrow down the search simply deselect the Video or Audio tracks on the sequence timeline.
- Need to see if there is media offline in a large sequence? Set the ‘Media’ search option to ‘Without’ select the “Create bin of matches’ results option and click ‘Search’ all the clips within the sequence that are missing media will appear within a new Bin, simply right click the bin and select: Media->Repair to fix all the offline media within the sequence.
- Deactivated multiple clips within your sequence but you don’t remember which ones? Set the ‘Active’ search option to ‘No’ select the “Highlight matches’ results option and click ‘Search’ all the deactivated clips within the sequence will show with a yellow border, all of which can be reactivated with a single keypress.
- Just want to see the segments within your sequence that contains Cue Markers? Set the ‘Cue Marker’ search option to ‘With’ select the ‘Create sequence of matches’ results option and click ‘Search’ A new sequence will be created instantly containing just the areas of the sequence where Cue Markers reside.
Set Default Frame Rate On Import:
- The flexibility that Lightworks Universal Projects brings allows any frame rate media to be imported into a project, but what if that media does not have a frame rate, how should it be handled?
- Lightworks 2021.2 answers that question by allowing you to set the default frame rate for any media that doesn’t have a frame rate (audio only files, EDLs, Image Sequences etc).
- Open the ‘Local Files’ library and right click the panel to reveal the ‘Import Commands’ panel, click the dropdown arrow next to ‘Default frame-rate’ and choose the frame rate required from the list of options. Once set, all files that import that do not have a native frame rate, will be correctly set to the frame rate chosen.
Improved the Batch Metadata panel:
- The Batch Metadata panel is a really fast and effective way of changing data within columns quickly and easily.
- With Lightworks 2021.2 that flexibility has been extended even further to allow you to specify the name of another metadata field to copy text from (eg. ) within the ‘Value’ column. This is an extremely fast way of moving metadata between fields in huge chunks.
