Is it possible to use the Lightworks to make a fly-through ?

So far I've used the Internal Engine or the Open-GL. But are there some way to use the Lightworks instead. And how do I do it ?
Would the renderings become bigger (and heavier) in this way?

The easiest and cheapest is Premiere Elements if you are Windows in Mac iMovie is another alternative to PE.

Or you can try to do it in Windows Movie Maker but I do not recommend it.

This wall-througth is a recording of a vbe presentation.
I made the vbe presentation, then calculated global ilumination, and then you have the vbe app. In mac with screenflow or camtasia you can record what you see in your monitor and then with movie you can edit if you can (picture in picture fly...)
I think that this metod is faster than rendering with openg-gl.

Thanks for all you response. And I looked at your animation at YouTube. Cool! I would like to do something like the interior-part of it. But I would like to use renderings with Lightworks.
Now I've bought Premiere Elements and installed it. I thought I should start with creating renderings.
I added several cameras with 1m between each, and the turns were a rendering every 15 degrees.Then I started a fly-through. Source is from renderings. But the renderings became like the picture below, even much more layers are turned on.
Maybe I should take one snapshot at a time, and store it to the folder I will use to create animations in Premiere Elements. But are there someone that understand why my renderings become like this?

I've started to use Premiere Elements, but I have a problem:
Is it possible to change the framesize? I can't figure out through the help-system. I've made jpgs that has a size of 720 X 1280 px as recommended, but now I can see the project preferences says framesize of 720 x 576 px. The clips has very low quality even the highest quality for playback is selected. I suppose this has something to do with mismatch in frame sizes.

Now I've tried to make a slideshow in Premiere Elements from Lightworks renderings. But they get this "jumping effect" every time the clip is changed.
Jose Gemez, how do you make vbe-presentations?

I make the model in archicad and then export to vbe, calculate global ilumination and save as .app aplication.
Star the .app aplication and screenflow. Screenflow save everything that you can view in the monitor and can record the microfone sound if you wish.
I do litle postprodution with imovie (the watermark, intro, titles...) and export to .mov
In windows you can use fraps.
I made a video explain the vbe model (in spanish, sorry) abotu 18:30 minutes

This must be a part of AC I've never heard about earlier. How do you export to vbe? Is it some format in the Save As command, or...?
Unfortunately I'm not able to speak, nor understand spanish.
My youngest son learns it at school, but he's knowledge of spanish is hardly that good that he could understand your video.

vbe is Virtual Building Explorer, a paid add on for ArchiCAD.

Just to make sure it's clear. You have to own the add-on to export the files.

Thank you very much for your information. I think I continue with the approach I originally choosed. Before I got to know it was an add-on, I confused it with Visual Basic (VBE), but I thought it was odd. Could not see the connection, really
