Hi

• Check you have the vppsetup.exe file for the current version.(VP 5.32)
• Go to the Windows control panel Uninstall/Modify  Program option and select  Videopad Video Editor from the list
• Follow the prompts to uninstall Videopad but dont click the Delete Data Files box.
• Complete the uninstall
• Now double click the vppsetup.exe file to reload the program.
• Videopad should now run in Dark Mode....(Well.....mine did!)
• Re-enter your registration code to restore the full functionality.

Well, it didn't work the first time, or the second... or the third... but apparently fourth time's the charm! If it really is 50/50 like c_major said, I had a 6.25% chance of that happening!

So I recently re-downloaded VideoPad because I wasn't sure if I had the latest version or not, and now I can't seem to find where the option for "dark mode" is now. I don't know if I just forgot, or if it was removed entirely (which wouldn't make much sense, so I'm betting on the latter). Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You tested toggling HARDWARE ACCELERATION, under OPTIONS|EDITING?

If there is a section of the project that consistently hangs you might split out and delete all the rest, then upload that section as a portable project, as mentioned above.

Be sure to save your project first, of course.

Yeah, I toggled it, and it mostly fixed the original problem, however now it's "Building Preview" more often than ever. I might try uploading it as a portable project, but most of the time, the Building Preview thing happens when I have a large number of short clips all in quick succession. P.S: Thank you so much for all your help, I really appreciate it.

Video editing is resource intensive.  What are your PC's specs:  CPU, GPU, free space on the drive, memory?

Well, this is embarrassing... AMD Radeon R7, AMD Radeon R9 360 (AKA Non-dedicated GPU), 1.67 TB of free space, 16GB DDR3 memory. I don't have an amazing computer, let's just say... But what can I do to use my hardware as efficiently as possible? I  have already tried lowering resolution for preview, and that doesn't work, it just makes it harder to see what I'm doing. Same deal with lowering the FPS and clearing cache files, no effect. I downloaded VP yesterday, so I am using the latest version (and just in case, I reinstalled it). I'd much appreciate further help. P.S: The file is not very small.

EDIT: I just tested it, and now it only does it every once in a while, and it does say Building Preview now. Hooray.

So the title says it all, every 30 seconds or so, the preview will just freeze up, the audio continues on just fine, and then I can't pause the preview, or do anything at all for that matter. I am new to this program, and I would appreciate any sort of help at all. Thanks in advance, -Column 1
