  1. Thanks for looking - does this mean I need to keep updating until a fix is released? How long does this normally take? It's a pretty major issue not being able to output in H265 at a decent quality. Thanks
  2. Will do. Outputted video again as H264 and got over 38000kbps. Borate - pm'd you the link. Thanks
  3. Thanks borate - the link with the new install worked fine.
  4. Hi everyone I'm using V11.20 paid licence. My source material is 4K approx 27000kbps @ 30fps using H265. When I export I always use mp4 H265 @4K. Have used this setting for a few years using the 32BIT version and always come very close to the source bitrate by selecting 30000kbps at the export screen. However, with this new version the bitrate is really low. I have created 2 videos and both come out at around 1400kbps and are noticeably poor quality. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the crisp high quality I used to get with the 32BIT version? Thanks in advance
  5. Hi, Upgraded from 32 Bit Version 8 to 64 Bit v11.18 yesterday, fully paid licence. I have used Videopad for a few years now so would like to think I know what I'm doing. I created a 9 minute 4K video with 1 music track. Went to export as I usually do and get the message "failed could not initialize video output" in yellow text. I have uninstalled and installed again - no luck. My machine is more than capable - Intel 8700K, 16GB RAM, 3GB graphics card. Any ideas appreciated. Many thanks EDIT - just tried 1080p export - exact same error message.
  6. Hi, Usually my videos are 20mins ish and on default settings come out at 35000kbps ish which is short of the original source of 52000kbps If I change to "High" settings the bitrate is over 100000kbps which is silly when the source is half that resulting in huge file sizes The closest I can get to the original source is 40000kbps from the menu. Clearly 20-30 years from now when our videos are stretched over ever increasing resolutions they are going to look inferior so we need the encode capturing as much detail from the original source as possible. Is there a way for me to manually select 52000kbps? If not why not - needs to be in updated release (or at least add 50000, 60000, 70000 increments so people can get as close to their original source.) Interestingly I ran the following tests on a short 10 sec clip: Maybe the results are as result of the very short clip, but can anyone explain: I'm using Core I7 8700K with 16gb RAM and 3 GIG graphics card (windows 10 fully up to date) and the latest release of Videopad. Standard/default output: 118000kbps - very high bitrate, colours noticeably muted compared to original Bitrate set to 40000: Looks the same as standard/default settings Standard/Default but with boosted saturation (25), exposure (-0.1), contrast (5), Temperature (5) - this gets the clip as close to the original as possible. Bitrate: 35000kbps My questions: why in this test does videopad go so much higher than the original source making huge file sizes at default setting. Surely it should aim for as close to the original source? why does doing some basic colour grading massively reduce the bitrate from 118000 to 35000kbps? (This has to be done as the clips look washed out otherwise) if my original source is approx 52000kbps why can't I set this manually to get the best quality and file size? the max I can set it to is 40000. If I use the "High" setting the bitrate is over 100000kbps. On all settings the colour/ contrast looks washed out compared to the original (It's not terrible but very noticeable side by side) so colour grading has to be done which seems to reduce bitrate (which I am trying to keep close to original source. Lossless is not an option as I mix photos with my video clips (family holidays etc) which videopad does not like - is there a reason why videopad can not just recode the images and leave the videos lossless? Sorry if this is impossible, I'm not that technical. Sorry for the long post - thanks for your responses. Thanks
  7. Hi I have the latest version of Videopad installed and have a brand new PC: Top spec I7 8700K, 16GB RAM, 3GB GTX 1060 dedicated graphics card, Samsung EVO SSD. I bought this spec so I could specifically edit videos. Creating videos is very difficult. I use 4k clips recorded from my phone (mp4) and high resolution photos (20MP from a Sony RX100 camera) Once the video is approx 2-3 mins long everything grinds to a halt. "Building preview", sound playing but video frozen, sequence preview grayed out so only clip preview works (after waiting for it to build the preview) I have ensured no other programs are running in the background. My hardware cannot be the problem. Am I missing something before I abandon Videopad and shell out more money for something like Adobe? I like Videopad for its simplicity and small learning curve but I can't continue to work like this. Exporting is also slow (I assume the graphics card is not being used) If not why? I read somewhere that it could be due to videopad being 32 bit and only being able to use 4gb of RAM at a time. If so when will a 64 bit version be released? Is one even in development? If Videopad does not move with the times others like myself are going to jump ship and use alternative software. 1080p rendering is going out. 4K is here. I don't want to render in 1080p or even 2K - imagine how they will look on the 8K or higher tv's of the future) Thanks in advance for any replies.
