Hi Franco. Could you please send me the public link too? I handle the Mac version. Thanks

You could use a simple USB webcam in VideoPad or Debut. For realtime recording and applying basic effects (text caption, current time, brightness/contrast/gamma, watermark), and video resizing then Debut is the better opton. For non-realtime recording you could just Airdrop your iPhone video to your Mac then do the edits in VideoPad

Hi DBMusic. Please try the following when exporting. Click 'Default Quality / Filesize', then in the MP4 or MOV Encoding Settings dialog. Select 'Off (Re-encode Video)' for the 'Lossless Export' option. Then try exporting again.

Hi. Is this for the Mac App Store version? If yes then you could try the version in https://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html which has the scheduling feature enabled. Mac App Store versions don't have it due to sandboxing restrictions.

Please try the beta version in https://www.nchsoftware.com/beta/vpmfreei.zip

Please try the 7.33 beta version in https://www.nchsoftware.com/beta/vpmfreei.zip to see if it fixes the issues. Could you also list the export settings (e.g. format, encoder settings, resolution, etc) that you're using?

Hi. Does it crash also when burning to a Bluray image file (.ISO file) and then burn the ISO file using the 'Write ISO' feature ? Could you also please try the 64-bit beta version in https://www.nchsoftware.com/beta/burnmaci.zip ?

The following could lower the CPU consumption of Debut 1. In Encoder Settings change the video compressor to MPEG4 (from H264) and lower the quality/bitrate to Medium Quality 2. In Video Options lower the frame rate (e.g. to 10 or lower) 3. Resize Debut's window to the smallest possible size

Are you using the Macbook Pro's internal mic? You could probably try enabling 'Use ambient noise reduction' under System Preferences' Sound -> Input setting . An external mic is indeed a a better alternative.

Hi. Please do the following 1. Launch Terminal application 2. Run the following command: launchctl list |grep commandline 3. An item will show up like this: 558 0 7EH48C9K78.nch.commandlinehelper.debutstorefree511 4. Terminate it using this launchctl remove command, like this: launchctl remove 7EH48C9K78.nch.commandlinehelper.debutstorefree511

Marc, I think Photos names full resolution versions of downloaded files from iCloud Photo Library as "fullsizeoutput_***.jpeg". You can verify that by right clicking on a picture in the image list/bin area and select Open File Location in the popup menu. It will show the file in Preview. Did you add the files from Photos using the file browser inside VideoPad (e.g. by clicking the Add File toolbar button) or by drag and drop from Photos? If the former, VideoPad will directly refer and use the original file inside the Photos library. If using the drag and drop from Photos I suggest to select the 'Move to folder' option in the dialog that shows up after the drop. Select a folder where the dropped files will be copied to. Otherwise the files will be copied to a subfolder inside /Users/<username>/Library/Containers/com.nchsoftware.videopad/Data/Library/Caches. For the drag and drop option VideoPad will just use the copied files (whether in the user chosen folder or in the Caches folder) and not the original inside the Photos library. It's just Apple's way of doing drag and drop from Photos

Marc, are you using the Mac App Store version? If yes, in future edits please also try copying your media files to your Movies folder. You can place them in any sub-folder inside your /Users/username/Movies folder. Then add them to VideoPad from there

SoundFlower is an alternative. Advantage is it's free ? https://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/

You can try these USB capture devices http://www.altoedge.com/video/siig-video-capture.html http://www.altoedge.com/usbcapture/elgato-vid-cap.html

Hi Default cache folders are as follows: Website version: /Users/<username>/Library/Caches/com.nchsoftware.videopadpaid Mac App Store pro version: /Users/<username>/Library/Containers/com.nchsoftware.videopadpaid/Data/Library/Caches Mac App Store lite version: /Users/<username>/Library/Containers/com.nchsoftware.videopad/Data/Library/Caches Resource files are stored in the ~/Library/Application Support/VideoPad folders. Expand the "~/Library" folder using the paths above

1. What is the OSX version? 2. What is the exact Macbook Pro version? 3. Does the camera work in other apps like QuickTime or Skype? 4. Does the camera work in VideoPad (http://nchsoftware.com/videopad/) using Record -> Record Video ?

Hi Roger. What version of VideoPad Mac are you using? Latest version is 5.30 which you can get from http://nchsoftware.com/videopad/vpmaci.zip . Please try it if you're using an older version

Hi John Are you using the Windows or the Mac version? For either case, an alternative is to export to an ISO image file, and then use another program like ExpressBurn (http://www.nch.com.au/burn/index.html) to burn the ISO to the disc Lou

Hi Marty, I'm in charge of PhotoStage Mac but looks like you're using the Win version. You could try exporting to an ISO image file, and then use another Windows program like ExpressBurn (http://www.nch.com.au/burn/index.html) to burn the ISO to the disc Lou

Does the problem happen for other export formats like ogv, mkv, mpg, flv? An updated Mac version will hopefully be released by next week. In the meantime I've uploaded a development version to https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8hcaqzgplikojy/VideoPad.zip?dl=0 which you could try to see if this problem is fixed

An updated Mac version will hopefully be released by next week. It will have APNG import and export features. In the meantime I've uploaded a development version to https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8hcaqzgplikojy/VideoPad.zip?dl=0 which you could try

Hi Wilder Please check your inbox. I sent a link for a development version that you could try Thanks Lou

Hi Please try the following 1. In Storyboard mode, click the sequence clip (NOT the one in the bin) which you want to change its storyboard thumb frame 2. Click Clip Preview. The selected clip in #1 appears in Clip Preview 3. In Clip Preview timeline, change the position of the preview 4. Right click in Clip Preview and select 'Use This Frame for Thumb Frame' I've made a sample video in https://www.dropbox.com/s/30jgyianwt9ge4t/Untitled 1.mov?dl=0 Regards Lou

Try changing the script to the following: #!/bin/bash echo “About to launch Debut and take a snapshot!” /Applications/Debut.app/Contents/MacOS/Debut -snapshot -source "webcam" -ms 1000 & sleep 15 /Applications/Debut.app/Contents/MacOS/Debut -exit For the periodic recording every 10 minutes, you can create a launchd plist and use launchctl to load/unload it. Example: 1. Create a debutlauncher.plist text file in your /Users/<username>/Library/LaunchAgents folder with following contents. Where /Users/myusername/Documents/debutlauncher.sh is the absolute path to the script above <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>debutlauncher</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Users/myusername/Documents/debutlauncher.sh</string> </array> <key>StartInterval</key> <integer>600</integer> </dict> </plist> 2. In Terminal, cd to the /Users/<username>/Library/LaunchAgents folder then run 'launchctl load debutlauncher.plist' 3. If you want to remove the scheduler run 'launchctl unload debutlauncher.plist' in the same folder

Please try changing -ms5000 to -ms 5000: /Applications/Debut.app/Contents/MacOS/Debut -snapshot -source webcam -ms 5000
