I recently updated my old version 8.X of VideoPad to the newest version which is apparently 11.53. I did that because there was sporadic issue of split screen videos freezing when reversed. I search around for a solution, but it seemed the only option was to update the software.
So I did, but now, after updating to the latest version, when I try to use Split Screen like I always used to it doesn't seem to work at all like it used to.
Let's say I add the Split Screen effect to a video with the most basic Horizontal 2 layout. If I have "Crop to Region" selected, Horizontal Bias doesn't seem to work at all - I move the slider around but it does nothing in the Sequence Preview. The same goes for Scaling. I used to be able to use Split Screen on a video and then, for example, center it in that half of the screen, but now moving the sliders does nothing in the preview.
If I change the mode to "Fit to Region", it shrinks the video to fit in that region as expected, but if I choose "Fill Region" the video disappears in the Sequence Preview entirely (!)
Did something drastically change in how Split Screen is used in the three versions I missed? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this some kind of weird bug?
