Uberprutser Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I scaled and placed a photo in an overlay in the time line. And now it want the same changed copied to another photo so it will be at the same location at the same size. How do I do such a simple thing? (Not very intuitive this videopad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 When you have programmed an effect, click the 'folder' icon on the toolbar. Give the effect a name and save it. It will appear as a new entry at the bottom of the effects choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberprutser Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thanks, but I still don't get it. A simple copy past operation should take care of what I want. And what with that disk? Only save? how do you load things?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Overlay your new photo. Now open its EFFECTS box and scroll down to the new item that you saved, as instructed above. Apply it to the new photo. The effects that you saved will be applied to the new photo overlay. "And what with that disk? Only save? how do you load things?

Uberprutser Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 I got it figured out. Saved the "effects chain" to temp. And finally found it at the bottom, after clicking the + button. Like I said non intuitive, but I got what I wanted. It sure beats having to change them all individually. Videopad get so freaking slow when applying certain effects (Especially something simple like scaling and positioning an image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Good deal. Clicking SAVE (as effect template) writes the item to the effects box. There's no need for 'temp.' Yes, the big green + sign opens the effects choices. Here, VP effects application is quick. Play the real-time demo below. Video editing is resource intensive, so how it performs is affected by hardware. Under OPTIONS | EDITING tab, toggle the "use hardware acceleration' item and see if that improves response.

Uberprutser Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 That "dial" to change things is super slow and cumbersome to use. Why don't they allow you to drag and drop the corner of an image to make the necessary changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 What 'dial?' Post a link to a screenshot. Upload the image to Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc. Copy (share) the URL and paste it into your post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberprutser Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 That round thingy and stick to change the size of a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 For the CROP effect there are handles at the corners and sides of a box. For SCALE there are three handles: height, width, and height and width where <shift> can be held down to scale freeform. Very versatile and responsive. For MOTION, there's a scale and a rotation handle and the box itself can be dragged. Or just use the sliders in the EFFECTS box if that's more convenient.
