OK, I'm officially about to lose my mind. I am following the instructions. I shot a video with my helmet cam. I pulled it down into videopad and clipped it to use only a certain part of it. That is ALL I'm trying to do. I built it, put it in sequence, blah, blah, blah. When I look at it in "my documents" under "my videos" in windows, I hit play and the sound comes up, but all it shows is the psychedelic effects as if I were just listening to a CD. Please help! Why is just using a part of a clip so damn difficult?
