I'm starting to convert AVI clips I have to mp4, I can't see difference in the picture quality, the saving on the GB's is amazing. Do any of you out there do this, I can't see any detriment in doing it. Perhaps you'd let me know if there is. I'm just copying all my video's over to a new computer, it's woken me up to how much I've got stored on the 1TB hard drive, I've had a 2TB storage drive put in the new one

Thank you Borate, I've downloaded the latest, and it now loads immediately, I'll see how I get on from now

I don't know why, but in the last week, when I click to load Videopad, it takes about 3 minutes before it loads, it used to come up instantly. It's version 13.21 that I'm registered with. My other programmes are loading OK as usual

The best thing, is just set it up and have a play, you can try all sorts of ideas, I do, and it's amazing what you find you can do by just playing

Thank you borate, I think I've sorted mine now, I wondered why sometimes it was OK and sometimes it wasn't, it was the way I was clicking

I find this a little niggling too

Thank you, I've solved the problem now

Thank you so much, I guessed there must be a way, just hadn't come across it, Thank you again

I know you can create a snapshot from the timeline, is there anyway you can save that snapshot to somewhere on your computer, I've tried, Am I missing something

I added a pointed finger in one of my videos to indicate where something is. At the top click on Add Objects, select Clip Art library, Then select Icons and Symbols, Select Arrows, on there you will find pointed finger, you can make it as large or small as you like and change it's direction, Or you could just use an arrow, they're all on there Here is the use of the pointing finger, it comes at the end of the video....https://youtu.be/LHmIBUYKVBA

Strange thing, just loaded a project to start work again this morning and when I select a clip on the timeline it highlights all the other clips, now it usually only does this if I select Ctrl A first..... It was working fine yesterday. I've just put up another project to try it out, and that's OK, anyone any Idea what I may have clicked in ??? -0- Sorted, found an "Unlink selected clips" under "Sequence" under Menu, must have somehow clicked it in, I've now clicked it out, didn't know you could do that, so something learned.

I find the left and right arrow keys a good way to navigate the timeline

Nice of you to say so 👍

Yeah, it'destroys me when I lose one, but there are the others to look after so you have to get on with things, we are used to having 2 or 4 at a time, we show Norwegian Elkhounds and camp at the shows in a group, we enjoy the group......https://youtu.be/HumQY_l5tC0

I was making a video of the passing of our dogs over the Years, and set it to music, all the clips of the dogs I used would have to be around 15 seconds each, and then alter the speed of the music without altering the tone of the voice so it all fitted together. I've been learning so many things, how to do this, best way to do that, playing around and experimenting, and it's really paying off, I can now happily move off the editor I've used for years (they've stopped producing it now, so no more back up). Here's the project I've just finished if you want to view it....https://youtu.be/CFEhDFJTv1w
