Did you test it with this version? Any error messages? In using multiple export options, did you try different compressors, such as MPEG4, or perhaps different containers, such as AVI?

Seems as if Clear Clicks is producing a non-standard file. Load it into Windows Media Player. Does it play? Try outputting in another format. Can't do much more here unless we can see the file. As mentioned, it can be submitted privately.

Usually that's a sign that the file is non-standard. Does it play in Windows Media Player? Upload it to a free server, such as MS OneDrive or Google Drive, make it public, share it so ANYONE can view and post the shared link here. We'll check it out.

None. What version of Videopad is being used. Here is the latest. Give it a test drive. 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.

What version of Videopad is being used? What resolution are the source files? THE very best way to see what you see is for you to share your project. Preview should never take hours, especially when adding a simple end slide. Sharing is a straightforward 4-step process, takes little time, and can be submitted privately. Do not upload the export, just follow these instructions... 1. With your project on the timeline, click the 3-lined 'hamburger' menu, top-left. Click FILE | BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Specify a folder. Click SELECT FOLDER. 2. Using the PC file manager, go to where the numbered folder was saved and upload it to a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* 3. Get a shared, public, non-restricted link. 4. Paste that link here, or click the folder, above top-right in this forum, and message it to me. This is private and 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.

The WMP display of a true 720x480 file reports video size of 720x480 and aspect ratio of 1:1 actual, 1.5 displayed. I.O.W. a 4x5 image. WMP reads your AVI video size as 720x480 as well. However, its aspect is 8:9 actual, 1.33.1 displayed. Horizontal screen widths are not the same. Thus, while both files claim to be 720x480, there are differences between them, likely owing to the explanation offered by c_major in your other thread. Accepting 640x480 in VP and exporting 720 as outlined there may be a reasonable compromise, at the expense of slight vertical content. Why your FireWire isn't accepted by VP is another issue that's likely to be addressed eventually.

If the AVI imports as 720 in versions 7.51-->8.35, it's likely for the same reason that C_Major explains above. Why the difference between W7 and W10 is a puzzlement. Why not convert to WMV in Pinnacle? That file imports into VP as 720x640. https://1drv.ms/v/s!AmKCN6jvYsvCrHzajiy7Yoo0ydHw?e=aoGEry

That's new one. Usually a simple over-install does the job. If not, uninstalling VP via Control Panel|ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS should. Reboot your PC, then try to install VP. The files that were suggested to be deleted above are normally reinstated. If this fails, you might try this free uninstaller, allowing it to delete all Videopad-related files and registry entries. If the "missing" message appears after that when reinstall is attempted, then something very unusual is in play. Deleting Windows temp files is a thought, but that's never been necessary through countless installs here.

Have seen no reports of inconsistent behavior. An easy and accurate way to insert is to position the cursor at the split point where the new material is to be dropped, right-click the new clip in the bin and PLACE ON SEQUENCE AT CURSOR. That should do what you want. To snap the cursor to the split, use the ||< and >|| keys under the preview window. If a new clip is dragged atop another it will replace it. If an existing clip is dragged on the timeline it will land at the drop point (let go of the mouse button), splitting the original clip. Each time VP is installed it may exhibit slightly different behaviors. If snapping when a clip is dragged to the right is annoying, try holding the <alt> key. Or simply reinstall Videopad until clips don't snap back. This may take several installs, but they're very quick. No need to re-download. When you make a mistake immediately press <ctrl-Z> (EDIT | UNDO) to backtrack step-by-step. Save Project AS routinely, giving it a unique # or name, so as to not overwrite prior saves. Save Project (no AS) will overwrite.

Video editing is resource intensive and your results hint at a beefier video card. Compare the GTX 1060 used for successful tests here with your mid-level Intel 620. https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Intel+UHD+Graphics+620&id= That's no guarantee that results would be better if you did upgrade. No one wants to be responsible for a needless expenditure. Perhaps you have access to a higher-end PC for testing and comparison? Or can simply stick with 2K.

Under OPTIONS | EDITING, toggle "use hardware acceleration" to see whether that makes a difference. Be sure that the video driver and Direct-X are up to date.

The best way to pin down your issue is to be share the project. Someone will check it out. It's an easy and quick 4-step process and can be private. Just follow these instructions... 1. With your project on the timeline, click the 3-lined 'hamburger' menu, top-left. Click FILE | BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Specify a folder. Click SELECT FOLDER. 2.

Your linked video confirms that the audio is there. So this isn't the flatline waveform/no audio issue that some others have encountered. And the project linked earlier plays fine here in preview and upon export, using 8.63. When you double-click your latest demo file in the VP bin (top-left), does it play? Does the file play in Windows Media Player? Is it silent only on sequence play or after exporting as well? Did you test it in this release of Videopad? Retain you licensed installer and registration info, if any.

The fix will be in when version 8.64 is released.

The implication on EQ was meant to confirm the way in which it was functioning at that time. After being reported it was changed for the better. No doubt your latest issue will be as well. Problems are often obscure and come to the fore only after a user stumbles upon them. The interaction here helps the developers become aware of them.

Windows 8 had a failure of a built-in legacy app that, despite a fix posted by users to MS forums, wasn't corrected for over a year. Windows 10 had a similar failure that took months to set straight. Those products are extensively beta tested. Videopad never ceases to function because an upgrade isn't purchased. Other NLEs may be offered only by subscription or have a one-year update-for-pay model. They often come with a steep learning curve. The VP update cycle, adding enhancements for its target market, is short, limiting beta testing. Developers address issues promptly and when one is identified a release within the six-month license grace period usually remedies it. A 64-bit version is in the works, which should solve memory limitations with high-res, lengthy projects. With rare exception, folks who contribute to this forum are primarily users, helping out. So move on to your app of choice and please take your off-topic venting elsewhere.

The FADE OUT choices simply don't work on slowed clips and Play is inactive in audio preview, except when initiated from clip start. It's been reported. To accomplish your goal... Split the track where you want the fade to begin. Double-click the ending clip to display the waveform in preview. Double-click the >| button under the PV window to scroll clip to the end. Click the |< button to scroll to the start of the fade. Click the cursor where it intersects with the blue line to set a keyframe. Click the >| button and at the far-right drag the blue line straight down to the bottom. fade.mp4

You have tacked onto an old thread; best to begin anew with a descriptive subject and specifics in the body. What version is being used? Makes no difference if a release is a trial ('free') or licensed - it's the same program. Shake on png and jpg files in version 8.62 work well here - from preview through mp4 export.

Upgrades are free for up to six-months after purchase - a reasonably generous policy. There are usually several releases within that time period. If there is an issue with the simple pairing described by pmcleanj then something is amiss. Submit the samples and it will be tracked down. Verified bugs are dealt with quickly, and users who discover them may receive a gratis license.

Perhaps you have already discovered that the keyboard shortcut for an all-track split is <shift-L>.

Check this out. A transparency effect can be applied to video on the top (higher track).

You have tacked on to an old thread; best to start anew with a descriptive subject. There should be no issue with what you are attempting. You can select the clips and group them, but not link. Install this VP release which, even if unlicensed, may solve the problem. Some features and export formats may be unavailable at the outset or after the trial ends. 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 still no go, please share the video and audio files. Upload them to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, get a shared, non-restricted, public link and post it here or in private. Someone will check it out.

Don't see why not. But, if using the unlicensed version, some effects and export choices may be unavailable at the outset, or after the trial period ends.

Export with the Letterbox dot checked as a VIDEO FILE, not Portable Video. That may have been an oddity in version 8.45. In 8.63, recently released, both export modes succeeded here.

In further testing, using v8.36, a 1:00 fade was applied both before and after speed change. Results appeared to be virtually identical.
