The search filter can be used to reveal all offline media. In other words: Prior to making a project backup, check carefully for offline media and relink if necessary. If you delete such media without having a copy somewhere else, you won't be able to recover them from the archive. One important thing to keep in mind and to respect when creating archives: If linked media are offline when creating a backup, they won't be included in the archive, no warning. ![]() This might lead to trouble with projects where the total media size exceeds the available free space of the internal media space. Lightworks's free version provides ample features that many users will find fit exactly what they're looking for, with a premium upgrade for those wanting a little extra. ![]() When restoring a project backup, all media are copied to the internal media space, even formerly linked media, unless the linked media are present at their original location (full path) on the target system when restoring. Lightworks is a free video editing tool created by EditShare that enables users to give their videos a professional-looking edge. It copies linked media to subfolders of the archive folder. When making a project backup including all media, Lightworks copies all media from its internal media space (read: media transcoded or copied on import and proxies) to the root directory of the created archive folder together with project metadata. Not so funny thing: if I delete the "old" / original project, and import again, now everything is right, so if I reveal the file location it seems to point to the file from the archive.Īnyway, this makes me a bit uneasy so I will backup both for some time to be sure.Įxplaining the entire logic of backup and restore in all facets would take very long and reverse engineering can take quite a while. If there is a solution already here in the forum, please link it to this, sorry for the doubled question, my search was not able to bring something helpful up. My workaround right now is, that i would archive via lightworks and additionally archive (manually copy) the media folder while keeping the (at least relative) folder structure. Right now i dont have a proper process to archive my project to get rid of them (place them to another harddrive, free space) and dont have to be afraid that i will not be able to recover them. Then i renamed that media folder back to the old name, and, well the media was there again, of course. Hm, the was not my understanding of archiving. ![]() Lightworks said there is a similar project already so make a new one.Īnd when I opened the from-archive-created-project, the media file from that rename folder was missing. Then i renamed the project like ".temp" and imported the archived project. i made a test with the still existing original project. after that i renamed one media folder, by chance. I thought if i check every box in in the dialog (include.) that all media files used in the project are in that archive. I work with Lightworks 21.1 and I have an issue with archiving.
