  1. Upload and share two or three of those files and someone will take a look.

    2d trackers

    Person on track 1; bubble on track 2. Lots of bubbles available free from the NCH clips library. Right-click in a blank area of the bin and make that choice. Use the POSITION effect to animate the bubble. http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/videopad/win/effects_animating.html At the start of the clip create a keyframe. Advance the scrubber (red line) to the person's next position, then drag to bubble in the preview window to match. Another keyframe will automatically be created. Repeat this throughout the action. Any keyframe (square) can be dragged. Remove a keyframe by right-clicking it. The resulting graph will resemble this...
  3. Don't recollect a CROP auto-center. In the preview window, drag it to where you want it. Refine the position using the sliders in the effects window. Also take note of the many presets.
  4. What version is being used? What is the resolution of the bulk of the source files? How long is the project? What are your export settings? Here's 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. Feel free to share a project, either here or privately. Someone will check it out. Just follow these simple 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. No need to upload the export or VPJ files. 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.
  5. Tacked together four :15 files which exported (854x480) in about :07. Brought that result in - alone - and exported twice - first at video defaults then by pressing LOSSLESS. Both took less than :02. Added a few of the same raw files and exported at video defaults. Fast overall, but it appeared to re-encode. Total about :08. Then exported by pressing LOSSLESS. The prior export segment was lightning quick, the added files were re-encoded. Total about :06. You get the picture.
  6. To illustrate what my take is on #1... A single lossless-eligible :15 file was repeatedly placed on the timeline until the sequence length was :45. Export re-encoded. Then the result of that export was placed - alone - on the timeline and exported again. Lossless. So it seems lossless applies to a single clip. If you exported Stage 1, then imported it alone, exporting again should have been lossless. Finally, the export result was again placed on the timeline, but this time the raw clip was added several times to the end. Now, pressing the LOSSLESS button, export was lossless for the previously exported segment, then slowed for the added files, which were apparently being re-encoded. That may explain #2. Not a programmer, so can't elaborate. Apparently a reference to the difference of data in the clips. For quality, the point may be moot in most cases, but re-encoding will be slower.
  7. Good to know what Mac names it. Change your Google link to "anyone can view" and folks will check out your project.
  8. Here's the skinny on lossless, from a developer... 1 Only one file of the whole project can be lossless. others have to be re-encoded. 2 When exporting lossless, the re-encoding part is slow because of the complexity of mixing different packets. 3 When choosing auto, if lossless region is 85% and more, we will do lossless, so it is better to always choose auto. If no success, suspect hardware. Though your other editor dealt with the files in twelve seconds, it may have re-encoded them?? It took only five seconds for VP to combine them..
  9. http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/videopad/win/tasks_chromakey.html The subject, on track two (or a higher track) must be high contrast to its background, and not contain the background color.
  10. A test with an unlicensed release that had been in use for several months succeeded here. If the feature has not been blocked on your version you should be good.
  11. Test 1 (left) used default Video settings, and appeared to export losslessly. No "converting file" message. Test 2 used the Lossless button, and appeared to re-encode. There was a "converting file" message briefly at the start of export. No clue as to the disparity. Both were quick: test 1 about 5 seconds, test 2 about 8. Degradation of quality re-encoding likely wouldn't be spotted by most folks, depending upon the nature of content and export settings. This on Windows 10 (Pro) PC. No reference to x264enc was spotted in the task manager, but perhaps it was missed.
  12. Select the entire audio track (or tracks) by clicking the first clip, then holding down <shift> while clicking the last. Click any audio clip FX button. Choose AMPLIFY and increase the level. Click the "replace chain" button (the one with the green checkmark). The gain change will be applied to all selected clips.
  13. Assuming that the audio is a fixed length, lay it down on the audio track. Then add the still images on the video track, one by one. Drag the handles (the grey bars) of each to the desired length until the entire audio track is covered.
  14. What Videopad version? Install the latest. If that doesn't resolve the issue, please upload the flle to a free server, make it shareable (public), copy the link and post it here or to me in a Personal Message (via the folder at the top of this forum). We'll check it out.
  15. The nature of this content makes for tough analysis. By 1:08:00 (suffragette) is out of sync on the timeline, so export will obviously be the same. If that clip alone is speed changed to 92% it's pretty close. So, no real conclusions. Hardware acceleration can be toggled under OPTIONS | EDITING tab. Future versions of VP promise to better utilize GPU, for faster performance.
  16. Nothing more on that. Suggest filing a bug report, with specifics and a pointer to this thread... https://tinyurl.com/yyf27yew This may be a YouTube issue. And, of course, you can always use the YT uploader.
  17. The above info doesn't work for you? Give it a try.
  18. Tested two low-res exports of that familiar project - one H264, the other MPEG4. At 42:15 lip sync, and at 56:10, tearing the panel out, looked fine. Then a 1080 export was created and it too was in sync, or close enough to not be annoying to my eyes. If it is, to yours, the best alternative may be to first convert the TS file. So unable to replicate your result in 8.95.

  20. Using version 8.95, took two twelve-second mp4 25fps clips, placed them on the timeline and chose Export | Video. VP automatically detected that they were lossless eligible and dispatched them in about two seconds. Please upload your two files so others can test them. Use a free server, such as Google Drive, get a shareable (public) link, copy that link and post it here or privately in a Personal Message to me (folder at top of this forum). With Google, be sure to click on "restricted" and change that to "anyone with this link can view."
  21. Sorry that your upload is slow. Without seeing the layout of the project it's only a guess that VP memory is being maxed out. The 64-bit release should remedy that (no target). Many suggestions have been offered in other threads, such as exporting as lower resolution, breaking up the project, consolidating tracks, pre-producing looping segments, and how best to apply global effects. You can test various releases, as memory handling has changed from time to time. This version has proven to be dependable.
  22. Share your project and someone will analyse it. Little can be done without seeing what you are seeing. What version of VP is being used? 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. No need to upload the export or VPJ files. 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.

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.
  23. If VP is working well for you there's no mandate to update. Allow time for glitches to be discovered. New unlicensed versions can be test driven, and the old reinstalled. What version is being used? What is the resolution of the bulk of source files? What are the export settings? The best way to track down issues is to share your project. Someone here will check it out. It's easy and quick; 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. No need to upload the export or VPJ files. 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.

Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.
  24. Let's see the project. Someone here will come up with the fix. Sharing is easy, quick and can be private. 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. No need to upload the export or VPJ files. 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.
