I found an old version and installed v13.07. This removed the problem of 100% CPU usage. CPU useage never seemed to go above 85% and editing easy as before. Then I tried the Beta version that you linked (v13.30) and it seemed to work better than v13.28. I still took 98% CPU but suddenly there is another app running with it aacenc3.exe. It doesn't take much resource but definitely is actuated with VideoPad. Then I tried reinstalling v13.28 that was giving me all the editing problems and taking up 100% resources and it still does. Editing is almost impossible. I have gone back t v13.30 and it seems to be working OK for now even though it uses a lot of resources. I will continue with it unless he editing issues come back. If so I will go back to good old v13.07.
