There's no option to suppress the splash screen.

The problem with using a file name on a track is that there can be many clips on the same track. The file name can be revealed with a mouseover pop-up in the sequence.

Please explain more fully what you mean by "looping" and upload a sample portable project that does this so others can check it out. Lengthy projects sound fine here in 8.0. EQ presets (including your own) can be applied to multiple clips... Select the desired clips. Open the effects window and choose EQUALIZER. Click Configure EQ and choose your preset. Click the fourth icon from the left on the toolbar. This applies the EQ preset to all selected clips. Agreed, the presets should be saved with the project.

Obviously, something isn't right. What version of VP is being used, and is it Windows or Mac? The best way to diagnose your issue is to be able to run it. Please share the project 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.

SAVE PROJECT will overwrite the project file. SAVE PROJECT FILE AS will save it to the folder of your choice, but not overwrite if you give it a unique # or name. Do this regularly. SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS writes ALL files and the vpj control file to a single folder with a numerical designation. That folder can be opened in any PC. Clicking on the vpj file will launch VP with the project, just as it was on the original PC. EXPORTING saves the output of a project in a file type and to a folder of your choice. Mp4 is the default and suggested resolution usually matches the source files.

What version of Videopad is being used? What type are the source files? Have you made speed changes to some clips? Share your project and someone will check it out. It's not difficult.

Install this version. The effects drop-down choices and layout should be as above.

Again, what version - Mac or Windows? Did you reinstall? Unable to replicate the issue here. You can submit your project for inspection. It's not difficult.

Scroll down in the effects box. There's an Aspect Ratio Transforms section as shown above. It contains three choices. After making one of those choices click the chevron at the right of the words "Auto Aspect Ratio" to see the drop-down options.

Just follow the 1, 2, 3, 4 steps outlined above. Once an aspect ratio is chosen from the drop-down box the clip, and only that clip, will adjust to that ratio. AR.mp4

Are you running Windows or a Mac? Clicking VIDEO EFFECTS in the toolbar will bring up the effects box directly - no need to click the green +. The fx route to that effects box is the button at the bottom-left of each clip on the timeline. When the window opens click the green +.

Shouldn't make any difference whether it's the free or the paid version. What version # is it? Try installing the latest version.. ONLY the clip that the effect is applied to is affected here - the others remain as is. For example... 1. Click the fx button on any clip, in the bin or on the timeline 2. Click the big green + sign 3. Click the letter box Aspect Ratio choice 4. Choose an A/R from the drop-down box Testing with mixed video and still images and applying the A/R change to either type, the selected clip alone snaps to that aspect ratio.

AR can be changed on individual clips in the bin. Right-click | CHANGE ASPECT RATIO. Click one of the choices and a drop-down list will display the options. If the clip is on the timeline, click the fx button to bring up the effects box. Click the large green + sign. Scroll to the Aspect Ratio section and make your choice..

Agreed, it would be handy to have a 'fill to gap' feature. Suggest it. Click the chevron at the top-right of the Videopad window and click on the feedback item. In lieu of that, go to Storyboard mode and note the length of the clip to be extended and the length of the gap. Total them in Windows calculator and press <ctrl-C> to copy. Right-click on the clip and CHANGE CLIP SPEED. Click the duration box and use <ctrl-V> to paste in the totaled number. Click SET. Verify that the duration now matches that number. If it's slightly off, adjust the last two numbers in speed box until the duration is precise. Click SET and the gap will be filled.

After cropping, add the SCALE effect to fill the frame, while maintaining the aspect ratio.

To extend an image, drag its right handle to the right. An audio clip, such as a music track, cannot be extended. Add a new clip at the end with the white noise. A video clip cannot be extended. Grab a screenshot of the last frame (right-click in the preview window) and insert it as a still at the end. The still can be extended. That said, if a video or audio clip isn't used in full to its end on the sequence then it can be extended by dragging the clip's right handle, to reveal more content.

No, VP is 32-bit for now. But the RAM upgrade should definitely improve your experience.

Put the query to tech support. http://tinyurl.com/y5gq6mbr Take a screenshot of the song folder, if possible. Paste it into a viewer, like Windows Paint, then save as a file and upload to a free server and share the link (make it public). Paste the link into your query to NCH.

A copy of the VP installer is usually copied to this path... "C:\Program Files (x86)\NCH Software\VideoPad" Or simply download the program again and apply your registration code.

Doubt that it handles it better. The Seq 2 method takes in all tracks and may make it easier to troubleshoot whether numerous speed changes, as in your case, are causing a problem. A global change can be applied to Seq 1 by first selecting all (<crtl-a>) and clicking on GROUP CLIPS but it's not as easy to work with, and can be problematic. Hardware is certainly a factor with resource intensive video editing. But don't think there will be a problem if the PITCH box is unchecked. Developers are looking into the issue. Yes, updates are free within six months of purchase. Of course, you can always test non-registered versions, to see if you like them.

Good to hear. It's likely that you downloaded 7.53. The 8/8.01 designation is a placeholder and often doesn't correspond to the actual version.

What version? Windows 7.53? Test it. Is there ample free space on the caching disk listed under OPTIONS | DISK menu?

The Videopad FAQ states: "The NCH Sound Library is a collection of thousands of royalty-free sound effects that can be added to your project." http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/videopad/win/soundlibrary.html

It is possible, but newer versions are not necessarily slower...and older ones may be incompatible with your PC now, or with projects created in other versions. Be sure to retain any registration/license info.

That's it, though it may not be relevant. The green line above the timeline normally tracks the status of cache files. Prior to loading the initial project it's wise to click on OPTIONS| I DSK tab and Clear Unused Cache Files.
