Another idea, if there are selected (shaded) areas on the time line. In the media area (top-left) click your mouse on the sequence tab, then on the sequence itself. The sequence will appear in the preview window. Now drag the red START [ and blue END ] markers all the way to the left and right, respectively. This should remove the shaded areas on the time line. Export.

Select (highlight) the text first. Then use the UP/DOWN arrows.

Look here. Click the TECHNICAL SUPPORT link for further insight.

The VPJ file contains pointers to the media files and other elements of the project. SAVE AS will do the job if the media has not been moved from its original location/s. This isn't a concern if BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO A FOLDER is used, because all files are placed in the single folder where the associated VPJ file can access them. Check this out.
-
Create a unique folder for the back up, so VP files don't get mixed with others and name it what you will. A sensible location might be under "c:\Users\<your PC name>\My Documents\VideoPad Projects" ... In VP, click FILE|OPEN PROJECT. Locate that folder and open the VPJ file that it contains. That should load your project and its associated files.

Best answer from Nat, below.

The VP installer should set up everything for you under Program Files (x86)/NCH Software/VideoPad. Clear the VP cache, under OPTIONS|GENERAL and try your project again. Or uninstall VP via Wiindows Programs and Features and reinstall. If the file locations of your prior project have been changed, VP may not be able to find them - though it may prompt for a manual search. To avoid this, use FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO A FOLDER, which will pack them all into a single folder along with the VPJ file that will load the project.

Save your project. It won't hurt to clear the cache, under OPTIONS|GENERAL, then reload. Could be a bit slow at first, but the cache will be rebuilt.

If A is the first clip and your intent is to circle effect it to the second clip, B, click the X transition icon that's in the A clip. Can't say why transitions were lost, but suggest that you save your project frequently, with FILE|SAVE AS (not FILE|SAVE). Increment a number for it each time, so as to not overwrite earlier versions. Project 1, project 2, project 3, etc. To insert multiple transitions, first select (highlight) the appropriate clips. Then click TRANSITION/S in the menu or the toolbar (not on an X in the timeline clip) and click on the desired transition. You should be prompted to APPLY TO ALL or APPLY TO ONE. All will be the same duration - the length shown in Transition Properties box at the left-bottom of the transition window..

Earlier info not withstanding, it's conceivable that some files may have an xvid extension. I renamed mine and yours to .xvid and they still played, though some players weren't automatically invoked because they had no association with that file type. WMP prompts that it doesn't recognize the suffix, but may be able to play it. And it does. The Blu-Ray/DVD could not 'see' the files at all. http://tinyurl.com/hay4aoh That doesn't explain some anomalies mentioned earlier with a USB in your standalone player, especially the fact that you can play the file linked in this thread, but not the one that you created with identical encoding. And when Panasonic states that "the device supports .avi or .xvid files from USB" they don't reveal what the specs are for the AVI. As noted, it's a container - a wrapper. Perhaps some things were never meant to be known.

The file-extensions.org WEBsite states... "What is xvid file? How to open xvid files? XVID is not a file extension and not even a file format. It is a video codec library based in MPEG-4. The confusion probably comes from torrents, where mostly in the past, videos shared through P2P network had several dots in their file name, ie. "movie.xvid.release.avi". Today, most video files have spaces instead of dots in their file names. The actual file extension and the format is after the last dot. Most likely it will be the AVI format." To see what formatting has been used on the USB load it into your PC, right-click the drive letter and click PROPERTIES. The FAT32 file system is being used on the USB here.

Toadstool: Using a USB stick in the Samsung DVD/Blu-Ray player, your https://www.dropbox....ricket.avi?dl=0 video looked fine here. Sam: For compression setting on the file I tested, take a look again at the graphic in my 7/11/16 post.

Upload one of your files that was made exactly as above, but won't play, to Dropbox, Google DRIVE, MS OneDrive or the like. Make the link public and post it here.
-
These were the settings. Note that "constant frame rate" is not enabled. File was exported directly to the USB stick.
-
As you now know, XVID isn't a file type...and AVI is a container for many different encodings. An earlier post linked to an AVI with H.264 encoding. Here's one encoded with MPEG4 in an AVI wrapper. Download it, then copy to your USB and test in the player. As with the H.264, the MPEG4 USB plays fine on the Blu-Ray/DVD Samsung unit here.
-
Just to chime in, this behavior has been seen in past versions here, and occasionally noted in this forum.
-
XVID is a codec (compressor/decompressor), not a file extension. More here.

Give that file I posted a USB test on another player. If success, then indeed you might be headed to the shop.

"The provided file is not a valid VideoPad project file." Although it is
borate replied to snoopmatas761's topic in VideoPad
Take a look at this. If the problem persists, perhaps share the files in a personal message (PM) to the developer, as requested in the second to last post in the thread. -
Using VP 4.48 an H.264 encoded AVI was copied to a USB stick. It rendered fine in my three-year old Samsung Blu-Ray player. Here is a link to that file. Click the DOWNLOAD arrow to transfer it to your PC, then copy it to the stick and give it a try.

When exporting to a VIDEO FILE, using the latest VP for Windows, clicking the Encoder Options button and then on the arrow to the right of "H264/MPEG" a menu drops down with many video compressor choices... Try MPEG4 or the DV encoder NTSC (or Pal, if that's your standard).

Is each frame long enough to accommodate the transition length? Configure the default length under OPTIONS|EDITING? Try shortening the transition duration. Click the transition X in the clip, then change it at the bottom-right of the transitions window. If no joy, please upload both clips to Postimage.org (or other server) and share the links here. List which transition you want and its length.
-
What version of VP? Here's the latest. Which transition? Expand the timeline and check for small fragments or gaps between the two clips. Eliminate those, then try the transition again.

Another thing that might help is freeing up disc space. Using Windows Explorer (file manager) right-click on the C: drive and then on DISK CLEAN UP.

Using W10 and v4.45 here I have never seen a black screen that's related to use of Videopad. You might check for an updated video driver from your chip or card manufacturer's WEBsite... http://geforce.com/drivers (NVidia) http://support.amd.com/en-us/download http://www.intel.com...detect/graphics If problems arise, roll back to the prior driver via CONTROL PANEL|DEVICE MGR|VIDEO ADAPTERS|<your adapter name>|DRIVERS tab.
