Novice Editor

[Msackett]

I am new to video editing. I recorded a song and imported the track into the audio file program I recorded and lip-synched the video tracks to the audio track and I am now trying to edit 2 video tracks together but cannot seem to sync them up no matter what I do. Is there a good tutorial on how to use this program. I’m doing something wrong but I just can’t figure it out.

There are a good number of tutorials linked at the top of the forum.  http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23872-videopad-tutorials/

Video on video track 1;  audio on audio track 1.  Slide the contents of either track until they sync at the head of the song.  If sync drifts out as the song progresses this may be due to different speeds of the recording devices, if they weren't sync-locked together.

If more than a single video track, keep in mind that higher numbered tracks take precedence.  In other words, if there is video on track 2, overlaying track 1, then track two will be seen if it fills the screen.  If it does not, then track 1 will be in the background - picture-in--picture.  Various effects can position and scale video as desired.

Do your best and if it isn't right please submit the project here.  Someone will check it out and give you tips.

Don't submit the export, but instead create a PORTABLE PROJECT folder to upload.  Follow the portable project instructions here...
