Created video sound only, no video (no photos)

I purchased Video Pad today.  I made a short video with audio and video.  When I exported it to make a movie, only the audio plays.  What happened?  I am a little new to this.

Could you share your project (on Google Drive or One Drive etc.)?

Hi,  Lynne.

Just to cover the basics: you did place your video and audio file onto the timeline? And when you preview from the timeline, it plays correctly?

[LynneL]

Yes, it plays correctly on the timeline.  The problem seems to be with avi.  I was able to export it to MP4, but I tried to export it to avi three times and all three times, it omitted the video, just recorded the audio.

I haven't tried Google Drive or One Drive, but I successfully exported it to MP4.  I could then put it on my phone and even sent it in a text to my mother.  I even successfully shared this MP4 to Facebook, but AVI keeps having a problem for me.  Only the audio gets put into the video format.

Chances are that the necessary codec isn't installed in the video player.  A codec pack may overcome that, although they can be overkill.

AVI is a wrapper that can contain various video compressors.  In the EXPORT box, open the encoding box and try a few different ones.  H264 would be a good choice.
