Can't export VideoPad project

[a_rj5555]

I cannot export my video at all. It originally kept freezing on 62.5%. Then I updated videopad and now it exports about 1% in an hour. I spent a lot of time on this video so would like to create the finished project. Any tips on how to resolve this?

As suggested in your earlier thread, please share your project.  Instructions here.   It can be kept private, if you like.  Then someone will try to pin down the problem.

What are your system's specs - CPU, GPU, RAM, free storage space?  What format and resolution is being exported?

Thank you, I have compressed the video I think and attached it here.

You put in lots of effort on documenting your priceless honeymoon...

Did not test export of the project in its original form...

1.  Deleted all unused files, just to clean things up.
2.  Cleared unused cache files (OPTIONS|DISK tab)
3.  Fixed position errors at approx 2:36 and 15:42.
     Excised black frames at appx 18:10 and 18:14.
     Eliminated flash frame at approx. 18:46.
Exported at 1920 X 1080 as an Mp4.

You may feel that the resolution reduction is a negative. Yet this cuts export time substantially and the finished HD product looks great, full screen on a 24-inch monitor.

Editing and exporting can be sped up by first converting very high resolution video files to 1920 X 1080 or less, dependent upon how they will be ultimately viewed.  Use a batch converter.  NCH offers products for both video and still image files.

In the future, consider pre-rendering complex effects, such as stabilizing, speed changes and rotation, and exporting each individually.  They become clips. Then use those newly created clips in the project. This cuts the overhead, helps minimize buffering.  Also check out the FAQ on "Proxy editing" post at the top of this forum.

The reason behind the export failures you experienced are unknown, but keep in mind that video editing is resource intensive.  A high-end CPU and GPU, generous open space on the cache drive and ample RAM are recommended.

Always liked the pan flute.  Cute couple;  have a great life together!

Thanks so much  We travelled for a year as a honeymoon so I've been making a video about each country we visited. Just got stuck with the Peru one but thanks for the tips!

 

Thank you
