VideoPad is currently my front runner for replacing the original Windows MovieMaker now that Microsoft have ruined it. It pretty well does everything I need when I'm not doing multi-camera heavy-lifting and my 12-year old daughter is happily making video shorts on a weekly basis for use at our church - so well done NCH for a highly functional and usable bit of kit!
The main thing I miss is easy but professional-looking titles. When I create an Overlay, the editor gives me the option of adding video effects to the overlay clip - they even stack up in the applied effects pane, and look like they are doing something in the timeline (the clip refreshes) - but I never see them in the preview or the finished movie.
Am I missing something or is this a feature yet to come?
