Hello! I have the free version of the sotware. I am making a complex music video from footage (over 30 clips) recorded and imported into video editor, They are cut and split in many many places in the sequences and interspersed with effects and transitions. I have one imported audio file which I use for the base of the music clip. I do not need the audio file of my footage, but I left it there in case, I wish to mix it into the final video clip once it is done. Thus the audio track of my footage(s) are not necessary, I only need the imported audio. The problem lies in that a portion of my video and audio is mismatched, sliding around freely, and "unclickable" and it is poisoning the rest of the clip by sliding around. Now, everything was going fine. Up until when I tried to split a clip and add effect to it. I split it in many places, to add effects and alternate it with other portions of clips. Now now all the clips in the sequencer in this section are mixed up. Whenever I click on one clip, it slides into another position on its own, this "disease" moves onto other clips in the sequences (other suddenly become untouchable and merge into other clips on their own!!! - I didn't even know a MERGE option existed in Videopad). What is even more bizarre is that when this "sliding" happens, The transitions also melt and merge into one section. the merges sequencer clips look conjoined, but when I click play, it plays as if they were seperate like originally (but we cannot see the 2 seperate clips is the problem - it seems they slid under one another). In other words, When I play the video in videopad the timeline slides over one of these "conjoined" clips (which just look like one big one) but plays both parts. Am I hallucinating???? I tried to delete all the problematic clips and those around the problem area, and even all the video starting from the end. it worked up until one specific clip which is UNCLICKABLE. when I click on it, it just picks the previous or next clip. So i end up clicking and deleting all the clips around, but not this one - and this specific one just keeps "passing the disease" onto the previous clip. i closed and reopened the program, rebooted, nothing!!! I also tried to play around and delete the AUDIO track (audio track does not mean not the same thing as the music track Which I added). And it's the same problem as with the images. It's all jumbled up. I suspect the problem might be coming from audio track bugs or from special effects I chose, because the problem areas in the adudio track have a sort of red X (special effects audio option) which are unclickable too. Has anyone ever had this problem or something slightly similar to this? I am thinking that this software is not made heavy and detailed work.. it does not support too much tampering of the clips. Any thoughts? I would really also like to do a Video/webcam chat if this helps anyone out with the visuals. I am even prepared to pay you through paypal for your time, if you can be pretty sure to help solve the problem. (the technical support at 33$ seems like an arm, but I can do like 10$) Thanks, Melanie
