  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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. Retain your old install file and registration info.
  6. Perhaps the easiest method... insert a blank clip and change its duration to ten minutes.
  7. 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. 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. If you share, someone here will be glad to help.
  8. 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.
  9. 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. 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. Audio may not play until the green caching line above video thumbnails has completed. On lengthy or complex projects this can take some time. Please share a project that has the issue. It's not difficult, takes little time and can be private. Someone here will be glad to check it out... 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.

  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. No indication of missing audio tracks here. Try reinstalling Videopad. But two MOV files are missing. Consider moving the photo credits to the left (or above) so that they are within their image borders. Unlinking makes the A/V tracks independent of each other, but doesn't mute audio. To mute the track, click the 'speaker' icon at the left of a track. To mute a clip, right-click on it and tic the MUTE box. No need to unlink. Please upload these files...
  14. You can link a screenshot. Upload it to a free server, get a shareable (public) link, copy the link and post it here. Google Drive, MS OneDrive, Dropbox, many others. Is there a scrollbar at the right of the audio tracks? Click on Menu (top-left of the VP window) | VIEW | RESTORE DEFAULT LAYOUT. Best would be to share the project, so others can take a look. This is not difficult, takes little time and can be private. Just follow these steps closely... 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.
  15. It's unclear what you want the result to be... A 4K portrait video was cropped to vertically isolate a tree and table at the left, using the 9x16 preset. Then it was exported at 320x240. The result was the cropped area as shown in this still. What did you expect?
  16. What are your export settings? How long is the project? How many GB? What is the resolution of the bulk of the source files? Tough to analyse without seeing the project. Perhaps another server, or increasing your storage. Google Drive charges only $19.95/yr. for 100GB. Degoo — 100GB of free cloud storage. ... Mega — 50GB of free cloud storage. ... Box — 10GB of free cloud storage. ... pCloud — 10GB of free cloud storage. Someone will be glad to help if you can share, and issues are usually quickly resolved. 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.

  17. Though the issue may seem to be the same, there are a number of reasons for audio loss described in this thread. Install this version, for now. Ignore any virus prompts. If it succeeds, suggest waiting a week or so before installing the latest release. What version of VP is being used? 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. How large are these files and at what resolution? If a newer release doesn't solve the issue, please share a single file here (or in private) and someone will take a look. Just upload it to a free server, share it (make it public), get a shareable link, copy that link and post it here or to me in a Personal Message (click the folder at the top-right of this forum and search for "borate.")
  18. 17GB project. Too much. General suggestions... It appears that four files have been duplicated and loaded. Don't load any files that are not in the project. Eliminate duplicates. For example, untitled 54 is in the bin twice. A single file can be used in different sequences. Consolidate tracks - use as few as possible. Consider pre-converting source files to lower resolution, perhaps trimming off parts that are not included in the project. If there's need to use different segments of a clip, right-click it in the bin and COPY. Then click an open bin area and PASTE (clip). Content for each dupe can be specified with the SET START & END buttons, while not affecting the other copies. Unless there's a reason to do otherwise, suggest working with one sequence at a time, saving each as an individual project. If necessary, divide a sequence into smaller segments, exporting each, then merging those exports into a final export. (Your Sequence 2, mostly silent, appears to serve no purpose??) Sequence 3 has an overrun in black, which extends from the 1:56 end of content to nearly four hours. This can be fixed with a right-click in the area following the sequence. CLOSE GAP. Also consider converting WAV files to mp3 prior to importing. After those changes were made in Windows 10, converting video files to 854x480 - which eliminated 10GB from the project - Sequences 1 and 3 played on the timeline and exported okay - even at HD720 - but for a freeze near the end.
  19. Good thought... https://www.nch.com.au/suggestions/index.html?software
  20. Undetectable differences on a decent PC speaker system. And this is confirmed by identical waveforms, so unable to replicate your issue.
  21. Send that folder to Drive and make it public. It will have a name like 2020-11-01 18-50-04. Don't forget to change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."
  22. A fine approach. Consider using the MOTION effect, which has both scale and positioning items. Once built, write down the vertical numbers - for subsequent image placement.
  23. Right-click the initial text clip in the bin COPY Right-click an open area of the bin PASTE (Clip) Change the text on the (1) clip and drop it onto the timeline Do this as many times as needed
  24. You might experiment as follows... 1. Add image/sync video to a 5x5 split, fit region 2. Click the + at the right of the Sequence 1 tab to create a new blank sequence 3. Click the Sequences tab in the bin and drag sequence 1 onto the timeline This is now a composite - audio won't be seen, but it's there 4. Use SCALE effect to position and scale the composite similar to what is shown below (juggle the figures for best display/aspect) 5. Overlay the 6th image/video, split it as position U in a 5x5, fit region, sync it This should result in something akin to the final image below From there export Seq 2 and proceed as Nat instructed in his 6x3 tutorial He will likely come up with a better approach It's doubtful that grid options will be expanded, but file a suggestion by clicking the chevron at the top-right of the VP window.
  25. Not that difficult. Read Nat's suggestions in the "Virtual Choir" sticky, above. Setting this up correctly saves time and possible export failure.
