Hi Nat, This is very helpful, thanks, I'll look into the sizing to see if I want my final version to be 16:9 and 4:3. I haven't remade the video yet, but I hope this works. The odd thing is that it always looks ok within the videopad software-- it covers the full screen nicely. its only once I create a video file that things start to look weird. So the cropping process happens a bit later on. Anyway, thanks for the help! I'll write back here if the problem continues.

Hi, This is my first time posting here, I just switched from the free trial to the (basic, home) paid version of videopad. I have some video footage of a lecture, and sometimes the camera switches to a still image of a powerpoint while the lecturer is speaking. I wanted to add some arrows, highlight areas, etc. to the powerpoint, so I took a snapshot, made some additions on photoshop, and put the images on again as overlays. I centered the overlays (so there are no margins to adjust) and dragged the size bar to the maximum, so that it appears to cover the whole frame. However, when I save the movie (I've tried avi and mp4 already) the overlay is smaller than the initial image (it takes up about 80% of the screen) and you can see the top and bottom of the full size covered up image sticking out on the top and bottom. It looks terrible. How can I make an overlay full screen? I want it to be the same size as the image that it covers up (as it is just a snapshot of that same image created on videopad with some new photoshop highlights). Please help me on this-- it shouldnt be a difficult thing, and I'm sure that videopad made a way for the overlays to work better that I just haven't found yet. Thank you for your help! -Noah
