  1. There's your problem; different software - that's not Videopad. Check the manufacturer's forum or look here. And take a gander at this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wpfiFwq8Og
  2. In recent Videopad releases there's a new audio tool... Haven't spotted one for video. You certain that this wasn't in some other NCH program? The VP current version is 13.75. Let's see the 'what's new' page that you reference.
  3. What version? Look at the bottom-left corner of the Videopad window. Subtitles are exporting normally here. Are they turned on during export...
  4. Don't believe so. The last five can be split a few times, with each section's speed made progressively slower, but that will stretch the length considerably. A snapshot of the Sequence preview can be used to extend the final freeze frame. VP doesn't have a speed 'ramp' option. File a suggestion... https://www.nch.com.au/suggestions/index.html?software=VideoPad
  5. Glad it worked out. You might also experiment with adding the snipped image to the text box and setting the scroll there... Then apply the ChromaKey, Color Correction and, perhaps, Position effects as desired. No need for the Motion effect with this method. Many options.
  6. Just realized that there's no need for the interim graphics program step. See above. After snipping the text, open VP and ADD FILE. It's already saved in the Pictures/Screenshots folder. To key out the black background with the Chromakey effect just position the pointer over the black area in the preview screen. It becomes a color picker. Left-click, and the black will vanish. Slight adjustments to the intensity slider can be tested.
  7. One convoluted approach... 1. In Word compose the text with strikeout - white on black background is best, perhaps a BOLD font 2. Copy just the text using Windows snipping tool 3. In Videopad add the snipped clip - from the PC's Pictures folder - to the overlay track and key out black with the Chromakey (green screen) effect (Settings shown below are a suggestion) 4. Add the Motion effect and program a scroll with vertical set to 100 at the beginning and -100 at the end Other effects can be added, as with any other clip. Try Color Correction or Sharpen, to make the text stand out. Strikeover.mp4
  8. Please refer to your 2022 posting... https://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/39978-export-video-with-format-profile-level-4/#comment-108337
  9. A VPJ file should launch Videopad with the saved project. What version is being used? Look at the bottom-left corner of the VP window. If your copy is has been registered it should indicate that at the top... If it's not, register it. However, VPJ files should load either way. If you take a minute to share the project someone here will check it out for you. Don't simply upload the VPJ, but follow these instructions step-by-step... Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER. Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file. Get link --- Get a public link. Right-click the file and click SHARE. When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared. * Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.
  10. Go to OPTIONS | ADVANCED and in the bottom Video Processor area change "default" to "None (CPU Only)." Now try your 2K export, using the H264 (AVC) encoder. Three suggestions... Export at a lower resolution Break the lengthy project into exported parts, then assemble those exports for the final Try an older release. Ignore any virus warnings.
  11. For the High/Med/Low/Very Low you might have to examine the export to see the result. Don't know what bitrate is used for the 'default' and perhaps it varies with content?? Check the result with MediaInfo to see. The numbered choice below should output at those rates, if the codec can handle them. Experiment.
  12. Default Quality choice isn't always best. Choose one of the many alternative bitrate presets or input a custom #. Click the blue Default Quality/Filesize link, then the caret in the Video Quality/Bitrate field to access this drop down... See if this occurs with the current release. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info.
  13. Use the TRANSPARENCY effect when programming overlay fade ins. Once created on a single clip, it can be easily repeated. Right-click any other clip and . For multiple clips in a single swoop use the Replace Chain feature described earlier.
  14. Go with 'masters' (pro). Give it a test drive by downloading from here.
  15. What version of VP is being used? Try this one. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info. Also confirm that the video driver and Direct-X are current... https://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/kb/1772.html If the problem persists, the best way to resolve it is to share the project. The process is easy, quick and can be done privately. Just follow these steps... Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER. Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER.

  16. For FADE INS it would be necessary to create the fades with the transparency effect, not the . Then they can be removed in bulk via the above method. The Replace Effect Chain button acts upon selected clips only, so don't select clips that shouldn't be changed. It looks as if you're stuck with removing your fade ins individually. For FADE OUTS, created with the , try the above suggestion.
  17. Use the TRANSPARENCY effect to apply the FADE INS. Later, if you want to remove them, select all overlays by clicking on the first, then hold down <shift> and click the last. Or select individually, using <ctrl>. Click the FX on one of the selected clips, set opacity to 100%, start to finish, then click the Replace Effect Chain button on the toolbar. The change will affect all selected clips. To clear FADE OUTS select the clips, click an icon and then choose Apply to All Clips. Click the NO TRANSITION item.
  18. It does. But the text must first be selected (swiped).
  19. If a right-click at the split point doesn't offer an UNsplit clip choice, try this... Copy the edited Sequence 1 clips by selecting them both and pressing <crtl-C>. Now delete those two clips. Open a new, blank Sequence 2 by clicking the + sign on the sequence tab. Use <ctrl-V> to paste the clips that were copied. Switch back to Sequence 1 on the timeline and position the cursor at the head of the deleted clips. Above the bin (top-left) click the Sequences tab. Right-click on Sequence 2 and Place On Sequence at Cursor. Now it's a single clip. Alternatively, try programming a TRANSPARENCY effect on the clip to be faded... If you make a mistake, repeatedly press <ctrl-Z> to to back, step-by-step.
  20. Support may not have the full story. Some video transparency is supported. Below, a transparent MOV animation overlaid on flames and exported as mp4. Transparency will be retained in an aPNG export. And chromakey (green screen) may also be an option on your Webm file, if it has high contrast . Let's take a look at your project, per the above instructions. Bike.mp4
  21. Let's take a look. Problems can usually be solved if the content is shared. The process is easy, quick and can be done privately. Just follow these steps... Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.

  22. No, don't believe that presets can be modified. But you can make various tweaks, then save a template that incorporates the changes.
  23. What version of Videopad are you using? Look at the bottom-left corner of the window. Try this one. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info. If no change, let's see the file. Someone will check it out... Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, right-click the link and Share. Copy the result and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum. When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."
  24. In Export file settings, chose your preferred resolution, which likely will be the same as that of most source files. "Auto Match" content may do that.
