I got this message from joshb: "I discussed this with our dev team, and forward compatibility for project formats works as intended. Projects saved in v 3.60 should load in v 3.29 and up." So this means that they really won't load in 3.00?

Hi everybody, Please check out the screenshots here. I had a video with aspect ratio 4:3 (960x720). I edited in VideoPad3.00 (screenshot 1) and exported it again with aspect ratio 4:3 (640x480). Result: screenshot 2. I was not happy with the grey squares that showed at the top of the picture, so I thought I would crop it. See screenshot 3. Again I exported the video 640x480. But the result was as seen in screenshot 4. Only when I exported with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (1024x576) I got a result as in screenshot 5, but with lots of black space left and right. What went wrong and how can I get a correctly cropped picture when exporting to 640x480? I am using VideoPad 3.00 for Windows. Thanks Martin

As I said, VideoPad 3.00.

It seems when you cross fade from some clip to a text clip that has scrolling enabled, during the second half of the cross fade the whole text will scroll through very fast and with reduced opacity before the actual scrolling text appears. VideoPad 3.00 Martin

Thanks! Martin

Hi Nat, thanks for taking the trouble, but I fear I must contradict. All the other still images I am using look good. And cropping and then filling the screen is obviously the same as zooming in. I hope the programmers are reading this. Automatically resizing an imported image is not a good idea. The decision should be left to the user. In case someone wants to know what I did in the end: I split the original image into pieces of 16:9 ratio, put the top part on track1 and the second part on track 2, then scroll them both: The top part from Y=0 to Y=-100 and the bottom part from Y=100 to Y=0. When the the top part has left the picture and the second part fills it, I repeat the process with the second and the third part and so on. It's tricky, because you have to be very exact.

Hi, I started a project with VideoPad 3.00. As I missed a certain feature I installed v. 3.60 to see if it's better. I worked on my project but then the software would not let my export the video, so I reverted to 3.00. And now I cannot open the project file any more. Do I have to buy v. 3.60 - which seems to me only marginally improved, to be able to continue with my project? Martin

Hi, thanks for answering quickly. But what happens when you shrink an image and then blow it up again? It gets horribly pixellated. I'm sorry, but this method is useless in this case, as the image is very tall and thus gets reduced to about 20% of its original size when imported. Martin

Hi, I have a still image 1280px wide and about 3600px high. I want to scroll this image from bottom to top using the motion effect. But when I import the image VideoPad resizes it to fit the height of the screen. I cannot even re-resize it inside VideoPad to fit the width of the screen because the maximum scale is 300%. Am I missing something? How can I import the image file without it being resized to to fit the screen height? I have VideoPad Professional v. 3.0.0 for Windows. Thanks Martin
