To organize clips and videos, the software uses the node-based system, which is required for videos with multiple effects and tracks. Lightworks has a systematized way to apply effects to their video clips and this is called video routing. The timeline is the location is where users can play their clips by sequence. Bins are where video clips are imported and the edit review shows the clips that users currently worked on. The software provides a user interface composed of panels such as bins, timeline, and edit review so users can understand how the drag-and-drop technique works.

The main benefits of Lightworks are easy drag-and-drop technique, video routing and keyframing, and direct exportation to YouTube.
