How to cancel Lightworks

Turn off the 'Auto-renewal' toggle on the subscription page at app.lwks.com/myproducts/subscription. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep access to the end of the paid period. Partial periods are not refunded. Pay-once licences have no subscription to cancel.

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Free plan Free edition at £0, for beginners or anyone who wants to try Lightworks for an unlimited period. It only exports to YouTube/Vimeo at 720p, and the Free licence expires every 90 days (renew it by signing back in) lwks.com lwks.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • The cancel step is the 'Auto-renewal' toggle, not a separate cancel button. The FAQ says it 'will disable any future payments and licenses'
  • Cancel before the renewal date: the subscription auto-renews unless you cancel first
  • Upgrading from Create to Pro: the FAQ says to cancel Create's auto-renewal first, then buy Pro
  • A pay-once purchase has no subscription to cancel: 'Pay once, and OWN IT FOREVER! No subscription needed.'
  • The FAQ says projects made in any version of Lightworks (Free, Create or Pro) are compatible
  • Support and account questions go to support@lwks.com

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/lightworks.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
