The (clip) bin is simply the upper-left space where those tabs lie - video, audio, images, and any new tabs that you create. It works precisely as you describe.

Take the time to upload and share it and someone will check it out.*_*

On the sequence clips can be selected (highlighted), then the fx button for any one of them clicked. When the effects box appears click the large green + sign and scroll to the Aspect Ratio Transforms section. Choose one of the three options. Then click the chevron to the right of the Auto Aspect Ratio field for a drop-down box of choices. Lastly, click the fourth icon from the left in the toolbar (REPLACE clip chain) to add this change to all selected clips. The fifth button on the toolbar will APPEND to existing effects. The aspect of Individual bin clips can also be changed prior to dropping them onto the sequence. Use the right-click menu. During export click the RESOLUTION box to affect the overall output. The CROP AND ZOOM button may prove useful. A little experimentation should achieve the desired result.

Some thoughts... Proxy editing for large files can improve workflow, but they need not be reduced to the very lowest resolution. A global zoom might best be applied after all other effects/edits are completed and the project saved AS, so as not to overwrite earlier saves. Open a new blank sequence 2, click the SEQUENCE tab in the bin and import Sequence 1 into Sequence 2. Overlays and audio will not show, but they are there. Sequence 2 is now a single clip of all Seq 1 material. Apply the global effect. This procedure can also be employed to break a project into clips which can be exported and later assembled. That can be useful for a lengthy effort that becomes unwieldy, and may apply to your second query. If a direct YouTube upload fails, use their uploader after VP export to an approved YT format. To lift segments of a master clip, place the clip on the timeline. Split out the desired first segment, then drag it to the bin. A new clip with only that content will be added. Split out another clip and drag it ... and so on. When all the pieces are stored in the bin clear the sequence and assemble the clips onto the blank sequence.

Your answer, from NCH... It is normal image stabilization uses only one processor because it is not a multithread task.

Save the project regularly. Click the chevron to the right of SAVE on the toolbar and SAVE AS, giving it a unique # or name so as to not overwrite earlier saves. Or click the 'hamburger' menu at the upper-left, click FILE and SAVE PROJECT AS. And, of course, don't move or delete any source files. As an experiment you might want to test this slightly older version. It may not be able to be registered but export should still work - at least as an AVI at default settings. Some effects made with newer versions may not render. You can always reinstall your paid version and re-register with your code, if need be. Upgrades from the time of purchase are free for six-months.

If you share it in a Personal Message, it won't be seen by others and will be deleted after the issue is analysed. Just click the envelope at the top-right and direct the link to me. That's the best way to try to replicate - perhaps fix - the issue.

Josh has the answer, below. Need more general purchase info? See... https://www.nch.com.au/software/buyfaqcontact.html

So you succeeded? What version of VP is being used? Share the project and someone will check out how it exports for them. It's not difficult... Here's how... http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/ If it contains sensitive material you can link it in a personal message (PM) to me, via the envelope above. Be sure to FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS, not simply SAVE PROJECT, and don't forget to share it.

Expand the track with the slider at the bottom right. That will stretch the clip.

It might be easier and better sounding to insert a sentence. But sentence or word, the procedure is the same. First, load the new word or sentence into the bin. 1. Right-click on the clip in the sequence that's to be changed and UNlink 2. Right-click the blank area to the left of the video track on the sequence and LOCK TRACK (If there are additional video tracks, lock them as well) 3. Position the cursor (the red line) at the start of the word or sentence to be replaced. Right-click the very top of the cursor (looks like a downward arrow) and SPLIT ALL TRACKS Do the same for the end of the word or sentence 4. Click the audio clip that was just created by those splits and press the <del> key on the keyboard to create a gap (or right-click | DELETE) 5. Reposition the cursor at the start of the gap (The ||< and >|| buttons below the preview window can help to do this accurately) 6. Click the audio tab above the bin, right-click the new audio clip and OVERLAY ON SEQUENCE AT CURSOR This will place the new audio on its own track, below the gap, so as to not disturb synchronization Play If the word doesn't fit, re-record it and try again, as above, until it does If you make a mistake along the way, press <ctrl-Z> to backtrack

Adding to Nat's good suggestions, some GIF animations with transparent backgrounds succeed without chroma key (green screen). Here's an example... Fire_gif.mp4

What version of Videopad is being used? What are the specs of the PC: GPU, CPU, free space on cache drive, RAM? Share the project in its current state and someone will check it out. It's not difficult... Here's how... http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/ If it contains sensitive material you can link it in a personal message (PM) to me, via the envelope above. Be sure to FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS, not simply SAVE PROJECT, and don't forget to share it.

If the files are still intact, look in the source folder or the one that stores the VPJ control file. An auto backup of the project may have been made.

Shouldn't take but a few minutes. Share it in a link here, as instructed above, or send me a Personal Message (PM). We'll check it out.

Though it's not clear why some of your muxed files don't have the 'shrinkage' issue, a demuxing utility can process those that do. Here's a suggested procedure... 1. Use the demuxer utility to create an Mp3 file of the audio 2. Import the project 3. Unlink audio 4. Substitute the Mp3 for the entire audio track That's what worked here. Then the project was exported from an SSD drive as an Mp4 at default settings. Other formats may also succeed.

All that's needed is another sample file - one that does NOT have the problem. Please upload and share it just as you did the other two.

Full backward compatibility isn't always possible and it's wise to edit/export the project with the version - or a close version - to the one that created the project. Old versions are here. The best way to get help with your work is to share it. This isn't difficult, and someone will be glad to check it out. Here's how... http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/ If it contains sensitive material you can link it in a personal message (PM) to me, via the envelope above. Be sure to FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS, not simply SAVE PROJECT, and don't forget to share it. If the project simply won't load, owing to this issue, zip all the source files including the VPJ control file, and upload that folder to the server.

First click the chevron to the right of SAVE on the toolbar and SAVE PROJECT AS, giving it a unique # or name, so as to not overwrite earlier saves. If video is overshooting audio on the timeline, drag the right video handle to the left until it matches audio. drag_video.mp4

Makes little sense. If you want to go this route consider uninstalling VLC via Control Panel | PROGRAMS AND FEATURES. Here's what you should see when launching MPC...

Install ... then launch MPC directly, not by double-clicking on the AVI. Click its FILE menu, on the toolbar. Click OPEN FILE. Browse to your AVI, select it and click on OK. Click FILE again and then click PROPERTIES. VLC likely has the capability as well, but the option to display it may be hidden. Not familiar with VLC.

Try this fine free player https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/ Then load your file. Click FILE menu on the toolbar, then PROPERTIES.

Don't have that answer, Mike. Media info for the first file shows this... If you have MPC-HC or BE or VLC as a player, open your file to confirm. Click FILE|PROPERTIES. The result should look like the above. Then compare that with a file that doesn't have the problem. Are they the same? If you don't have one of the players, download the free Media Info tool. https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/

If his Videopad version is not licensed it may have limitations after a trial period. Perhaps this is what has occurred. An alternate approach to uploading from VP directly is to export in a YouTube approved format - AVI, for example - and then use their uploader. The best solution is to purchase a license. The price is often discounted.
