I think the bitrate sometimes is set to 24kbs, if you change other export settings like the filename or the frame rate.

Even if I manually check the bitrate before committing to an export, sometimes it will still export at 24kbps.

The only way I can ensure it always exports at the correct bitrate is if I only export one sequence at a time.

I'm currently using Version 6.10. I upgraded to that version to solve a bug. But now that I've upgraded, I've got a new problem.

The video quality of my exports is absolute trash!

I think I've noticed the main problem. If I select "export all sequences," I can set the initial export to 5000kbps. The first sequence will come out fine. After that, every subsequent export is supposed to have the same export settings as before, right? So subsequent exports should also be set to 5000kbps unless I change it.

However, sometimes, especially when I'm exporting several sequences at once, the bitrate will randomly reset to 24kbps.

Even I manually check the bitrate before each export, sometimes it will still export at 24kbps.

So tell me: Do you have plans to fix this?

I just upgraded to version 6.10. While that solved the problem of the indefinite sound processing, I have a minor grievance with version 6.10.

The black background is just offputting.

Is there any way I can change the settings in VideoPad to have the same white and light blue aesthetic as before?

I'm moving to export my sequences. However, it just says "sound clips processing ... please wait."

The problem is that all my sound clips are working perfectly. Also, VideoPad never actually finishes processing the clips. I can come back an hour later and it will still say "sound clips processing ... please wait."

Reinstalling doens't fix the problem. Clearing the cache doesn't fix the problem, either.

Btw, I'm using Version 5.04.

It sounds like a bug we fixed sometime ago. Which version are you using?

Version 5.04

I went into VideoPad this morning to try and edit some clips. However, after twenty minutes, the sound in these clips still hasn't processed yet.

None of the clips have processed their sound.  I've got seven video clips in the project right now, and none of them actually play their sound.

Reinstalling the software doesn't fix the problem. I can wait an hour, and the clips still won't have their sound processed.

The sort of animation I'm thinking about can be seen in this video:

h t t p s : / / w w w . y o u t u b e . c o m / w a t c h ? v = A - c h D C l m d o s
 

starting at 0:51, you can see that they use almost exclusively still images. To create the illusion of movement, these still images are slowly zooming in, zooming out, or panning in one direction. For example, the map at 0:52 is slowly zooming in towards its center, while the stain glass painting after it starts at the center and slowly pans upward ... and so on and so forth.

How do I do that animation in VideoPad?

So I've got a high-res photo of a person and I want to use their face in another photo. How do I remove the background and leave their body intact?

Before, I did this by going into MS Paint, hand-coloring everything around their bodies a solid color, and then going into VideoPad and using the green screen effect on that color before taking a snapshot.

But that was an extremely time-consuming process. If I made even the slightest mistake, if I were even so much as a pixel off in any direction, the green-screened image wouldn't come out right.

Does photopad have an easier way to do that?

So I'm wanting to use some artsy fonts in my videos and snapshots (I use the snapshot feature in VideoPad to create the thumbnails for my videos) to help give my work some unique spaz and flavor. But once I've downloaded the new fonts, I have no idea how to import them for use in Video Pad!

Are there any tutorials on how to do that?

I have checked both of those. Both are working. But I still get no change in the voice.

I have an update. I was actually changing my voice using your software last night. But tonight, I tried it again, and it's not changing my voice again.

So the software only works when it feels like it.

I'm trying to record some gameplay footage. Out of the box, the recording was pixelated. So I followed these instructions ...

https://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/kb/1617.html

... that fixed the pixelation, but now I have another problem: The gameplay footage itself is slowed down to about 10fps!

I've got myself an AMD FX-8350, a Geforce GTX 750ti, and 10GB of DDR3 RAM. So the problem can't possibly be my hardware.

How do get the framerate to be acceptable?

For some reason, the problem just randomly stopped. I'm able to import videos again and export the projects.

Maybe it's the fact that I not only ran that executable that C_Major gave me, but also closed down the VideoPad application and restarted it.

If the problem resurfaces, I'll let you know.

Hey, at least we're making SOME progress now! At least now we're getting different error messages instead of making no progress at all!

Running as administrator doesn't help.

I extracted the DLL to the folder you said, but when I tried to import a video, it said that pthreadgc2.dll was also missing.

So I ran that executable you gave me. But it still says I swresample-0.nch.dll is missing.

So which folders do I extract those to once I download them?

I keep getting this error message whenever I try to import a video into a VideoPad project:

I can download that DLL file here: https://www.dll-files.com/avutil-52.nch.dll.html

The question is ... what folder do I  extract it into?

Still doesn't work.

Here's a suggestion: I keep getting this error message:

I can download that DLL file. That's not a problem. The question is ... where do I extract it to?

Hi

Assuming you have VP reinstalled and open....,

1. Can you manually drag and drop an image from a folder directly to the clip bin area?
2. If so can you drag and drop the image from the clip bin to the timeline?
3. If so will it play?

Nat

 

No on all three. In fact, drag and drop is what I've been doing.

That actually caused even MORE problems! I had to reinstall Videopad just to get back to the status I previously was!

I cleared the cache files, like you said. It freed up 199.99MB of disc space.

But I STILL can't import any videos!

I can't find the options menu. is that in my start menu? I see Control Panel, Devices & Printers, Default Programs, Help & Support, but that's it.

You've given me version 5.04. That's the version I've been using.

I went ahead and installed the download link you gave me, just in the off chance that might have made a difference. It did not. Same problem.

Heck, in this particular attempt at firing up the app, I even got TWO error message at once! So for your convenience, here's a snip of both error messages in one shot!

Wait ... your suggestion is a wee bit confusing.

Make a backup of my project onto a flash drive. Ok, I got that much.

After that, however, it's almost like I'm reading complete jibberish.

You mention using my control panel. Well, I went into "Control Panel > Uninstall a Program." That's how I uninstalled VideoPad before reinstalling it. Am I supposed to do something else?

Also, what the heck is Regedit?

Can you give me step-by-step instructions on what you want me to do?

Ok, something went seriously wrong and my system had to reboot itself in the middle of a video export.

Now, I can't load any video clips into my project. I don't even get an error code; all I get is that the files couldn't be loaded. It doesn't tell me why not.

Also, it's now prone to random crashes.

Once in a while it also tells me that some DLL file is missing.

No amount of reinstalling the software does any good.

For the most part, Debut Video Capture software is great for recording my on-screen activities. However, it is not so great for recording the sound.

It only seems to record audio from my microphone. While my microphone can pick up sound from the speakers, it doesn't pick it up very well unless I put the microphone next to the speakers.

I already have an app that lets me record audio from my  microphone. It's called the "sound recorder" app and it comes default with my version of Windows. So I don't need anything else.

Is there an app for screen recording that is just as inuitive as Debut, but that records audio from the speakers (preferably with zero quality loss, the same as if I had downloaded the video rather than simply recorded it), not the microphone?
