  1. Have you perused the links here?
  2. Seems that the subtitles were not generated correctly? Try this, which has done well in the past with VP.
  3. Suggest that you first set the preview aspect ratio setting to Match Monitor. Then enable dual preview, under OPTIONS | GENERAL. When the VIEW icon is shown under the preview window, click its chevron to confirm it's displaying clip and background. Two 16:9 stills were used here... ZOOM into the desired area of track one (bird at the right). Choose the 9:16 preset. After the effects box is closed this is the result. Switch to track-two effects, CROP and POSITION the desired area. Alternatively, use ZOOM, then the SCALE effect to size and position. The export will be the same as what's shown in the sequence preview window.
  4. Did you look for C:\Program Files (x86)\ - as above? Whether there is an audio issue with your version cannot be confirmed in the English Windows releases tested here. Looks fine.
  5. One other thing you might test is under OPTIONS | EDITING tab. Toggle the "use hardware acceleration" box to see if that makes a difference. Conceivably this could be a video hardware issue. Shader model versions are built into your video card. If your video card doesn't support shader model 2.0 then hardware acceleration won't be available. The only way to get it is to buy a new video card. That's not to say that lack would cause your issue. The sites listed above have the video drivers and installation instructions for their respective systems. Updating occasionally isn't a bad idea. As noted, your 4K files export with blur effects just fine in tests here, which hints that Videopad isn't at fault.
  6. With the focus on the sequence, use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor.
  7. 1. 16:9 to track one 2. 16:9 to track two 3. Add ZOOM effect with 9:16 aspect ratio preset to track 1 4. Use CROP if needed, and/or SCALE effect to size and position track 2. The "16x9" here is a very low-res insert, and it looks clean.
  8. 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. Use this version. If a virus checker flags it, ignore the warning. It's safe.
  9. Assuming that an older release is being used, upgrade to this version. 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.
  10. What version of VP is being used? Nothing will be lost if you use Save Project AS routinely, giving it a unique # or name so as to not overwrite earlier saves. If Save Project (no AS) is used, it will overwrite. To restore a project just double-click its VPJ control file, while is usually found in the same folder as the source files, unless you saved it elsewhere. When you make a mistake immediately press <ctrl-Z> (EDIT | UNDO) to backtrack step-by-step. What, specifically, do you mean by "all jumbled?" Share a project (not the export) where this occurs and someone here will look into it. Just follow this easy 4-step process. 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.
  11. Do not change the aspect ratio of track 1; use the ZOOM effect at 9:16, or crop and position effects. Then overlay track 2, crop and position and you will get a result like this...
  12. Apply your fade or crossfade first, then apply the speed change.
  13. TAB tabbing should be the same in any version. Standard Windows behavior. Keep in mind that your AVI file, when converted to WMV, loaded at 720x480 in the latest VP versions.
  14. The Chrome Music Lab clip has an audio track, but nothing is recorded there. No sound in any media player. The Minecraft audio plays fine in the latest VP version. Please install it, or the one linked earlier. Remember to retain your old install file and registration info. If still no audio at all, close the program and use your PC's file manager to delete all files in these folders... "C:\Users\<your PC name>\AppData\Roaming\NCH Software\Components" "C:\Program Files (x86)\NCH Software\Components" or ""C:\Program Files\NCH Software\Components" Reinstall Videopad.
  15. What version of Videopad is being used? 16:9 #1 was center-cropped and placed on track one. 16:9 #2 had its right side cropped (the walrus), the POSITION effect was used to center it, then it was placed on track two. Seems right. If the aspect ratio of track one image was not cropped, then the track two image would be larger. Version 8.63.
  16. What do you mean by "linear audio track?" A straight line with no waveform? That would be consistent with hearing no audio. Did you install the version from the link above? If so, and still no sound, please share your project (not the export). It's an easy 4-step process and it can be private. 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.

    Improving Audio

    You have tacked onto an old thread. Best to start a new one with a descriptive subject and specifics in the body. At export, choose the AVI format. Click the Default Quality/Filesize link and select the PCM uncompressed item. That choice does not exist for the mp4 format but normally the default AAC compressor does well.
  18. Glad it worked out. Tested a half-dozen overlays here and each was placed correctly.
  19. Malwarebytes is generating a false-positive. Ignore or override it. Using the current 8.63 release, the cursor was dragged to where the text was to be placed, then ADD TEXT on the toolbar was clicked. Many styles were tested and In each case the clip overlaid accurately. No other reports of what you describe have been noted to date.
  20. Yes, this is a marketing tool alleged to help the company judge what features are most popular. There may be slight variants, such as the pop-up position, with each install. You won't lose your work if Save Project AS is used routinely. When VP is closed it prompts to save, and it generates an emergency back up in case of a crash. <ctrl-Z> is the same as EDIT | UNDO and can be used to backtrack many steps.
  21. Your linked files, above, were 4K. When imported and effected in VP the blurs were retained upon 4K export - no downconverting needed. So unable to replicate your results. Be sure that the video driver and Direct-X are up to date.

  22. There is no Windows 8.64 at this juncture, despite what the beta download site lists. That's a placeholder which will give you 8.63. Check the left-bottom of the screen for a version #. What problem are you having? The most stable recent version is here.
  23. Suggest 'auto exit' - an enhancement that might appear in the options menu. https://www.nch.com.au/suggestions/index.html?software=VideoPad In exporting to 720x480 will result in a full-screen image at slight sacrifice of vertical content.
  24. The sole way to change the title via keyboard is to tab to it (11 presses) in the export window and type the new entry, AFAIK. New name.mp4
  25. It appears you have discovered that a curve can be saved as a template and restored via an icon in the Effects menu. There's no mathematical equivalent available AFAIK. The histogram-type lines, of questionable utility, do come and go. That's likely a bug. VP basic color correction tools are adequate for the typical user whose work is not slated for theatrical or broadcast release. This should provide insight on a sophisticated level. The learning curve and pricing for these capabilities can be steep.
