  1. Demonstrated expertise in Lightworks, with an emphasis on rapid, keyboard-driven editing.
  2. Extensive experience in video production, editing, and composition within a professional or high-volume environment.
  3. Deep understanding of link-based versus local media workflows and proxy management in Lightworks.
