If you first unlink A/V, then drop the audio clip to the next track it can be dragged without affecting video. Untitled.mp4

What VP version are you using? Try the latest. 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. The lightning port mic is apparently recording only the left channel. If the issue isn't solved by updating VP, or Nat's suggestions, convert the MONO file to stereo (center-channel MONO) in Wavepad (free trial). At the bottom of the Wavepad window click on the word "stereo." Choose to convert to MONO and click on OK. Save the file and import it into Videopad.

Project 1 is on the timeline. It has one sequence. Click the Menu item (top-left of the window), then FILE, then IMPORT CLIPS FROM ANOTHER PROJECT. This will add that project as Sequence 2. If you want to combine them into a single sequence... Click the Sequence 1 tab above the timeline, and from the bin add Sequence 2 to Sequence 1. Or click the Sequence 2 tab and from the bin add Sequence 1 to Sequence 2. Do this by dragging or via a right-click on the bin sequence, which will drop down a menu that offers several timeline placement options.

Nat's analysis is right on. Proxies might pep up editing but likely not affect export, as the original large files would be in play. If you must have 4K, try this... Install version 8.45. Ignore any virus prompts. 1. Open a new VP project and add your 'candles' file to the sequence. 2. Right-click | COPY the clip. 3. Press <ctrl-v> to repeatedly paste the clip to the sequence nine times. 4. Export Sequence 2 by clicking the LOSSLESS button on the toolbar. 5. Close VP. Launch your original project, lock all but the 'candles' track, replace its content with the lossless clip, trim as necessary and add fades. Unlock all tracks. Export as AVI format, using the MPEG4 compressor at 15fps. Another approach, not tested here, would be to export without overlays. You might even export this intermediate step at 1080. Then bring the export into a new project as a clip and add the clock, snow and text. Create the final export at 4K if desired.

Your timing may be good as hardware en/decoding should be improved in the most recent version. Whether that extends to exporting - can't say - but developers are targeting performance enhancements, which should ramp up considerably when the 64-bit version is released, No target date.

If a speed change is applied to an UNlinked clip it will affect only the track to which it was applied - video or audio. Sometimes it is best to independently export a speed-changed clip, then insert it in the timeline and add other effects. Worthy of consideration. In some cases, the order in which effects are applied can make a difference.

This has been broached before. Vaguely recall that it's a H264 limitation. Use MPEG4 or H265 and you should get your CBR. Tests here confirmed that result.

The 'bit bin' was just checked and absolutely nothing that you have submitted to this thread has been deleted, much less any of your content in other threads, though occasionally posts are consolidated for easy reading. Perhaps you didn't save your response??

With that method, yes. Simpler still: drag the left bracket (red) to the start point and the right bracket to the end point (blue). Click ADD. 3 steps. See... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npLB0leypn8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0uQBZnUrsQ https://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html

There a several ways to trim clips. One of the easiest is essentially what you describe... Import clips to the bin (top-left) and select the one you want to trim. Move the scrubber (slider) that's under the preview window to the start point and SET START. Move it to the end and SET END. Click the ADD button and click where it's to be dropped onto the timeline.

Bug. Install this version. Ignore any virus prompts. Please leave your project link on the server for a week or so, if possible. Thanks. If a release is working well, it's wise to stick with it for a time There's no mandate to upgrade. You can always test drive newer releases to see if useful features appear. And revert if problems surface. Just save the installer and registration info. 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.

Resolved via a Personal Message. Not a VP fault.

If you saved your project after creating the text then they certainly should be there. Are they missing on the timeline, or just in the exported file? Share the project. Someone will check it out. This is easy, quick and can be private. Just follow these four steps... 1. 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. 2. Locate the saved, numbered folder, NOT the exported or VPJ file. Upload it to a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* 3. Get a shared, public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. Change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" Then click COPY LINK | DONE. 4. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum and privately message it 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.

Video editing is resource intensive and a gaming-class PC is often recommended - no matter what editing software is used. Some folks get by with lots less for simple projects. If you can find a small shop that builds custom machines, they may be able to advise you on the 'sweet spot' for your specific needs, and furnish components of higher quality than a store-bought unit that often comes bundled with unwanted bloatware. The independent business folks don't want returns. Take a look here (and at similar sites you can search)... https://www.desktop-documentaries.com/computer-for-video-editing.html While a powerful machine will speed things up, compared to an I3, it doesn't guarantee freedom from export issues. They may be caused by software memory limitations (VP is 32-bit for now) or by how a project is constructed.

Let's take a gander at the project. Then others can test it. The process is quick, easy and can be private. Just follow these 4 steps... 1. 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. 2.

Let's see it. Upload the file to a free server, get a shareable (public) link, copy the link and post it here or to me in a Private Message (via the folder at the top-right of this forum). If using Google Drive change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view." Untitled.mp4

Purchase 1GB for $19.95/yr. Or try an alternate free server that you may be able to locate via a search. If you have a smaller project, or can truncate this project, while the issue remains, then please upload that. Sometimes breaking large projects into smaller segments to be exported and merged solves issues. Suggest that you revert to the version used earlier. There's no mandate to update, and newer releases can always be test driven for fun, to check out new features, or unearth problems. Keep your purchase date in mind... 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.

Perhaps the easiest method... insert a blank clip and change its duration to ten minutes.

Unless you have inadvertently made a track SOLO, which would export only that track, the way to find out what's going on is to share the project. Complete, on the timeline. The process is easy, quick and can be done privately. Just follow these steps... 1. 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. 2. Locate the saved, numbered folder, NOT the exported or VPJ file. Upload it to a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* 3. Get a shared, public link.

Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server. If you share, someone here will be glad to help.

We'll await your upload. It's good practice to click OPTIONS | DISK tab and Clear Unused Cache Files before starting a new project or loading an old project that wasn't the last one being worked on.

What version is being used? What is the length of the project? What is the resolution and size of the bulk of the source files? Update to the latest.

Your waveform highlights have been noted. When reviewed with high-quality headphones there was a very subtle audible difference, to my ear. When the original was paired with a still image and exported as mp4/H264 the result was as good as the original. But, of course, this is subjective. Suggest that you test other export formats/codecs, and take a look at... https://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/31854-choice-of-video-codec-affects-audio-quality/?tab=comments#comment-84666

Not inconceivable. Employing the above suggestions can help to minimize export issues. Using different compressors or a lower resolution may also help. Prior to beginning a new project, click OPTIONS | DISK tab and Clear Unused cache files.

Nat's has clued you in. The 'blanking' effect doesn't appear here. All tracks are visible, though there may be the need to scroll. Track six had no content and was deleted. The two files you most recently uploaded were a different type from that specified in the VPJ (save project AS) file. They are AVI, not MOV, and were in the initial download package. Substitutions were made. In the future, try to consolidate tracks and limit sequences where possible, and don't load files that won't be used. This will ease the processing load and make for quicker UI responsiveness.
