  1. Stabilized clips are automatically archived to a PC folder, perhaps for a future project. Your PC's specs are capable. It's wise to close other programs while editing. Once the clip has been split out and copied to a new track, export, then import. There's no need to close VP to access the archived clips and, because the clips are now but segments of the originals, they should take less time to stabilize. But it does takes time, and you may find this to be the case with other NLEs or utilities as well. https://vegasaur.com/Mercalli Sometimes, chopping up lengthy projects into parts speeds the process. You can also explore Proxy Editing, which temporarily substitutes small files for the originals - until export. That approach is not exclusive to VP; high-end productions sometimes employ it. http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/26563-proxy-editing/
  2. Split out the segment. Copy it to a new track. Export. Import, stabilize and add to project. Not that complex. Review this thread: http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/27692-batch-mode-image-stabilization-with-videopad/ Sorry. That's about the best we can do for you. If you find an alternative that handles this better and provides more helpful forums then go for it!
  3. Yup, if time taken to stabilize is the prime concern, then the NCH approach is the way to go - though it, itself, is time consuming... 1. On the timeline, split out the segment to be stabilized and right-click COPY it 2. Click the + on the sequence 1 tab to create a new blank sequence and right-click PASTE (insert) 3. Export sequence 2 4;. Click the sequence 1 tab and use ||< to position the scrubber at the point where stabilization is to begin 5. Import the clip newly exported clip into the bin (If the clip is added to the end of the sequence as well, press <ctrl-Z> to delete it) 5. In the bin, right-click the new clip and STABILIZE VIDEO 5. Right-click on the stabilized clip and OVERLAY ON SEQUENCE AT CURSOR (or use the ADD button, as described earlier) 6. Mute audio on the track that contains the stabilized clip Of course, it the stabilized clip contains the entirety of the content needed it can be simply inserted into the project.
  4. Nat, It does stabilize the full dupe clip, but doesn't affect the original. No errors seen in 7.22, so that may be a local resource issue?.

    text editing

    On the toolbar, ADD OBJECTS|SIMPLE TEXT. A box appears near the middle of the screen with the words "Title Text." Swipe to highlight them, then begin typing. Or press the <del> key. If you cannot see what you are typing, choose contrasting font and background colors. White-on-white or black-on-black text won't be visible. When done, a new clip will be in the bin (top-left) and overlaid on the sequence. To edit it double-click the text clip on the sequence. VP_text.mp4
  6. That is yet another approach. VP offers many ways to get the results you want. Try them all. Personally, option two, above, strikes me as the simplest.
  7. Method one... Select the clip and drag the scrubber (red line) to the point where stabilizing is to begin. Note the time. Right-clip the full clip in the bin and COPY. Right-click in a blank area of the bin and PASTE CLIP. Right-click the new clip (1) in the bin and STABILIZE VIDEO. In the bin click on the stabilized clip. Under the preview window drag the left red bracket [ to the start point noted above. Drag the blue ] bracket to where stabilizing is to end. Click the chevron to the right of the ADD button and OVERLAY CLIP ON SEQUENCE AT CURSOR. Mute the audio on the track that contains the stabilized clip. Method two... On the timeline, split the clip at the start and end of where it's to be stabilized. Select the newly created clip (between those splits) and drag it to the bin. Press <ctrl-Z> Using the <|| button under the preview window, position the scrubber at the start of the new clip. In the bin, right-click the new clip (1) and STABILIZE VIDEO. Click the stabilized clip in the bin. Click the chevron to the right of the ADD button and OVERLAY CLIP ON SEQUENCE AT CURSOR. Mute the audio on the track that contains the stabilized clip. In this example only the segment between approximately 4 and 9 seconds has been stabilized as is evident by looking at the video borders. VP_stable.mp4
  8. A program component may have been damaged... Suggest uninstalling VP and installing the latest. Did this help?
  9. Being that no one can duplicate your results, suggest uninstalling and installing the latest. Here is a free uninstall utility that does a thorough job. Just be sure that you don't instruct it to uninstall something other than Videopad.
  10. Followed your clip timings to the letter, and the newly inserted second clip did not cut off the beginning of the original 2nd clip (now third), when inserted via the procedure outlined earlier. Use the latest release version. https://www.nchsoftware.com/download/videopadlaunch.exe For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. A workaround might be to drag the second clip to the right, holding down <alt>, which will leave a gap. Make the gap wider than the clip that you want to insert. Drop the new clip into the hole. The right-click in the each gap and CLOSE GAP. But this should not be necessary. What you describe isn't normal.
  11. Same result here. NO result. Word has it that VD is still supported but that some plug ins may not function.
  12. http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/videopad/win/editing_addingclips.html Position the scrubber (red line) at the insertion point. Use the ||< and >|| buttons under the preview window to locate the precise clip edge. Right-click the clip to be inserted and PLACE ON SEQUENCE AT CURSOR. Adjacent clips should be unaffected. One way to change the duration of a clip is by double-clicking it on the sequence, then specifying a new time in the box under the preview window thumbnails. VP_insert.mp4
  13. What version of Videopad are you using? Here's the latest. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Check it out. If the problem persists, please upload your project. Here's how...http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/ Follow instructions to upload a PORTABLE project, zip it and post a shared link here.
  14. The link is just the .vpj control file. ALL source files are required as well... FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT Zip the result and upload that folder. What version of the program are you using?
  15. What version of Videopad? Let's take a look. Upload and share the project (not the export). Here's how...http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/
  16. Fine suggestions from Nat. Here's yet another V1 - cover art with page curl transition to horse clip for the duration of the music V2 - Full line-by-line text, offset from V1 to where scroll will begin... Drag the end of V2 to the end of the sequence Add a Y1 CROP effect to limit the number of lines shown Right-click and CHANGE SPEED to best sync with vocals Export Import the clip and, in the bin, trim the text overrun mentioned in your initial post. You now have a composited clip that can be added to the final project, perhaps to another sequence, or dropped onto a sequence by itself and exported/archived for future use. So_fine 2.mp4
  17. No other reports of that recently. Please upload the project and someone will check it out. Here's how... http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/
  18. Subtitles look fine in the exported video here. Please share your project (not the export), so someone can take a look. Here's how...http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/
  19. Yes, appears to be a just discovered issue with post-7.11 versions. No doubt it will be corrected shortly.
  20. To prevent a track from being changed, lock it - using the lock icon at the left of the track. If audio and video and linked, as is usual with video clips, first right-click either the audio or video track and UNlink them. Use FILE|SAVE AS to update your project with a unique # or name as you progress, so it will be easy to reload it if necessary.
  21. Granted, backwards compatibility is desirable, yet not always possible. Some inconsistencies may crop up, especially in 7.12 and later versions as methodology has been improved. Thus it is best to export from the version used to create the project when possible. In order for others to run your project, please make the server files public (share), for downloading.
  22. Here's a version that may restore export capability. It will eventually prompt to use the 'lite' version. Or that option may appear when uninstalling via Control Panel|Programs and Features. Purchase, for the full experience. Licensed users are entitled to free upgrades for up to six months. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest.
  23. This and the snapshot resolution issue appear to be fixed in 7.22 beta.
  24. All the faults you list are not apparent to regular users. And when an issue is discovered and reported it is usually remedied quickly. Your comments hint that you did not take time to learn the program (this forum is very responsive to courteous queries) and perhaps were using an older version. There is a free editor. Understandably, it prompts to upgrade, and some useful features available to registered users are disabled after a trial period. Covering the points you cited, here is a sped-up video with added sound track and keyed in "Rebirth" font. A logo would be the same, and could be set to any opacity. trees.mp4
