Never mind! I finally gave up and force closed the program. A screen popped up and it asked it it crashed, and then asked if I would send a note to the debuggers. Then it opened up and....it had autosaved!!

MY LIFE IS THE BEST LIFE!

On the other hand whilst the program appears to stick is there a blue moving progress bar active at the bottom right of the window? If there is it indicates that VP is still processing your changes and actually can't do anything else until those changes have been updated e.g. loading effects and transitions. Depending on the length of your video and the processing power of your PC this can take some time and give the impression that it has stopped.

I'm using the demo, and was just wrapping up editing a large video file. Is it normal for it to take hours? Every time I use the task master, it tells me Videopad is running, and apparently it is waiting for a response from me, but there are no popups, no messages, no blue moving progress bar. Maybe the progress bar is only in the purchased versions? The window is frozen; I can't close it or save the file, and I am hesitant to force close because of all my work! Does the free version have auto save?

I've got some deadlines on this video project, and was so happy with Videopad up until this point, enough to recommend to my company we purchase the pro version.

Thanks,
