New to VideoPad, but have watched all of the tutorial videos and the operation seems pretty easy . . . but, here is the problem that I have incurred 4 different times . . . I am wanting to edit a video I have, taking the first several minutes of the video out and ending the video a bit shorter than the original . . . here are the steps I am taking (1) Open the original video in VideoPad, (2) using the slide bar and the "start" and "end" functions, I position the slide bar where I want the video to begin and hit the "start" option button . . . then i position the slide bar where I want the video to end and hit the "end" option button, (3) I then hit the "SELECT" button and select "Place On Sequence At Start" and the shortened/edited copy of the video drops to the "Video Track 1 Bar" down at the bottom of the VideoPad work screen and the audio appears to drop to the "Audio Track 1 Bar" down at the bottom of the VideoPad work screen just below the "Video Track 1" bar . . . since I am ONLY shortening the original video, I do not need to change the order of the sequence, (4) to ensure that my edited video is correctly shortened, i select the "PREVIEW" button from the top tool bar of the VideoPad work screen, the edited video plays correctly, therefore my project/edited video is completed and ready to export (5) i then select the "EXPORT VIDEO" from the top tool bar of the VideoPad work screen, further select "Export Wizard" from the drop down menu, then further select "FILE- Export To A File Located On Your Computer", then further select "VIDEO FILE - Export To A Video File", then the FILE SETTINGS menu appears and I simply go to the bottom and hit the "CREATE" button and the export begins and the progression information box appears NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM: Even though the edited/shortened video played fine when using the PREVIEW feature of VideoPad (to include not only it's new length, but it had sound and quality of video was great), AFTER it exports and I open the saved filed on my computer, I only have the AUDIO for the FULL EDITED VIDEO, but NO VIDEO/PICTURE . . . any suggestions???? Also, it takes an extremely long time (between 2 and 3 hours) to FULLY export the edited video to a file on my computer . . . . is that normal?? Any input, help or suggestions that anybody can help with is greatly appreciated . . . but bear in mind I am a "newbie" to this software, so you are going to have to speak in simple layman terms and instructions so I can understand and follow along . . . . THANKS ! !
