Ah yes that fixed it. Thanks Schultzie!

Hi Nat Thanks for the reply. I re-tested again from scratch. On the first portion I select using the In and Out point markers, the green arrow to add the clip to the sequence appears however there is no film icon or button to save it as a new clip. Under the Edit/Clip menu, the Save Selected Clip as New Clip option is greyed out. If I use the green aroow button the clip I selected is added to the timeline sequence and also the details of the clip appear in the Clips box on the left hand side. If I then move the in/out markers to another portion of the video, the green arrow no longer appears and the second clip I selected automatically is added to the timeline sequence and the clips box, but it replaces the first one I did inh both places rather than adding the new one in addition. I suspect it must be some limitation NCH have put on the free download but can't find any reference to it. All their documentation says is that the free download should have full functionality but export options will be limited after 14 days, but it appears the version I downloaded to test before I buy it doesn't work the same as yours. It is version 2.41. I watched the video tutorial and I can see the clip save button you mention but it doesn't appear on the software I have. I also tried the split method and it seems to work OK. Thanks again for your help. Peter

Hi I'm just testing Video Pad for the first time and could not cut clips. After reading this and looking again, the green arrow appears the first time I try to cut a clip but not if I then try to cut another part out of the same bit of video. Also I do not see a film logo and under Edit/Clip, the option to save as a new clip is greyed out. I have downloaded the free software. Is this possibly a limitation unless you buy the software? I couldn't find anything on the website to say what the limitations are.
