VP can definitely handle longer projects.

OLDVERSIONDOWNLOAD.COM

Upload that newly exported fixed frame clip/main project so someone can analyze it.   http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

What are the specs for your PC:  GPU/CPU/free space on C:/RAM?

Which old version will you install?

Please upload and share one or two of the files that are in sync with your media player but out of sync when loaded into Videopad.  Use Google Drive, MSOneDrive or the like.

Also, if feasible, upload the project that you exported as a new Mp4 file and paste the link here.  NOT the result, but the portable project file/s.

Here are instructions on how it's done...  http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

Someone will check things out.

The Videopad install file that you used to first register should be stored in this path:  "C:\Program Files (x86)\NCH Software\VideoPad"

Reinstall it.  Then try your edits once again, and report results here.

Share whatever isn't working.  NOT the final output but the Portable Project File, as instructed in the link above.

A lengthy project, but the best bet would be to share it, so someone can take a look.  Here's how...  http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

Be sure to ZIP the portable project, then upload them to the server.  Share the server link here.

Check whether...

1.  The clip is muted or its volume is turned down.  Click the little speaker icon at the bottom of the clip itself.

2.  The track is muted.  Verify that there is no red X in the speaker icon that's to the left of the audio track.

3.  The PC's audio for VP is turned down.  In Windows, right-click the speaker icon in the notification area - right-hand side of the taskbar - and Open Volume Mixer.  Use the horizontal scrollbar to see the Videopad slider.

If none of these measures succeeds, please upload your clip.  Let's check it out.  Here's how... http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

No need to upload the project - just the clip.  Be sure to share it.

Result here, using the current VP version...

File Format:   AVI   (Click the Default Quality/Filesize link)

Video Compressor:  H264 or MPEG4

Audio Compressor:  Mp3

Sound Format:  4800 Hz, 320 kbps, Stereo

Check the WMV format for even higher bitrates.

You will also see a wide variety of choices for WMV files, when utilizing Windows Media Sound Compressor 9.2 and Professional options.

To see the details of those files, download the Mediainfo tool.

You are doing nothing wrong.  I'll wager that your file - apparently using the hvc1 codec - is not supported for lossless editing.  Someone may drop in here to confirm.

Same thing.  Just substitute presenter video on track two for the still image shown in the example.

The f being referred to is not on the keyboard.  It's the small button at the top-left of the first clip on the timeline.

Click on it and the duration box will pop up.

Video editing is resource intensive;  a gaming-capable PC produces best results.  That said, try these measures...

Reduce VP preview resolution.  (Right-click in the preview window)

Allow the green line above the timeline to complete before previewing.

Toggle the Hardware Accelerated Video item under OPTIONS|EDITING, to see if that makes a difference.

If file sizes are large, employ proxy editing.  For details see the 'sticky' post at the top of this forum.

Close all other apps/programs.

Use the latest VP version.  (If your current version is registered, retain its installer.)

Upload your project and link it here if you'd like someone to check it out.  Here's how... http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

Place the PP presentation on track one.  Overlay the presenter's image on track 2.

Click the fx button in the track 2 image clip and use the CROP|POSTION|SCALE effects to size and place it where you want it.

The background and insert should both be shown in CLIP preview mode.   Set the VIEW drop-down menu (under the preview window) set to CLIP AND BACKGROUND.

Using the latest version?  Retain your old installer if VP was purchased and registered.  Report results here.

In your audio samples, digital noise was evident at the transitions.   Not on the final product, however.  Your project had two blank clips at the end when viewed in Storybook mode.  It's not obvious why.

Reworking the project, each file was placed on the timeline by itself (no others).  Viewed in Storyboard mode, each had a .01 blank clip at its head.

When all three were dropped onto the timeline there was no blank between them, but instead a lengthy blank at the head.  That was removed, using the f button to specify a zero duration fade.

With overlap mode the default, circle wipes were programmed at each transition.  The wipes are seamless and no digital noise can be heard.

Please see my PM.

You can test whether other export formats will succeed.  Try AVI or mpg, for starters.  Note the various encoder options in each.

VP 'free' is a trial that disables some features after a period of time.  To get them back, purchase and register.  A 50% discount is reportedly in effect.

Share them with me or a developer via PM (personal messaging) if possible.  Nothing will be posted here.

One method would be to position/crop/scale, etc. each image - one to the left and the other to the right.

Place one image on track one and overlay the other on track two.  Then tweak the positional and size settings to taste.

Please share a project that has the issue.  Someone will check it out.  Here's how...  http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

Please upload the file to a free server, such as Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive and link it here.  Someone will confirm your results.

Odd.  The thread you referenced is several years old and many improvements have been made since then.  Here is the latest version.  Save your project, for protection.

The program can be installed over the old.  However, if you want to rid the PC of most all traces prior to a new install, use this tool.  Take care to not delete anything that isn't VP related.
