@jack11223344 is this fixed in the 7.0 release just announced? Thanks in advance a so was having a similar problem where it exported the entire video file instead of only the clip that was on the timeline.

Thanks for the update borate - I didn’t see that in the other thread - do you know if the new version 7 just released also has this issue - or if I upgrade the problem will go away?

I'll try to do that later today - however, I am more confident that this is some kind of issue with my install of Videopad (and not user error). Note that I installed the version from the Microsoft Store first, then uninstalled that when I realized I had purchased Videopad 18 months ago for a different project and could pay a lower upgrade fee. Then I installed the desktop version from the VideoPad website. Uninstalled and tried again - same result. Since then I have done the exact same steps (roughly given the differences in interface) with Movai, Wondershare Filmora, and Divinci Resolve, - All successfully exported just the clip. Even though with Divinci it took some time to realize that you had to change the workspace to Deliver and the rendering options are many - which takes some adjustment. So I am confident that I am following the right steps - the export/rendering process from VideoPad is just not doing things correctly. As a hint, after uninstalling and reinstalling there was a quick box that popped up and disappeared before it could be read before the first export happened - that did not happen again with other exports.

I tried that again - fully waiting for the green line to complete. Same Result abnormal result for me - I am uninstalling the program including all related Data and will reinstall to see if that helps. Thanks again for testing

Here is the video file I'm editing https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yGy37rKzcgtneaN1bbl1IXnAqUZAK5ZD I'll try with a different size video file and see what happens. Thanks again for all your help! - Jim

Hi Again Borate and Nationalsolo - here is the clip where I used a new project - grabbed a clip - put it down on the timeline and tried to export it but it exports the entire video file loaded to the Video Files tab on the top left - instead of the 1:20 clip that I put down on the timeline. https://youtu.be/xb2kAbEznLM

Thanks again Borate and Nationalsolo - I'll start from scratch and record what I'm doing. Have to finish some work first before I can play

Borate & Nationalsolo Thanks for the help. I tried to do what you suggested - but it is exporting the entire video not the sequence. Is there something wrong with my VideoPad version - I'm on 6.32. Should I unistall and reinstall? Could it be because I am editing 4K video files? Unfortunately the suggestion did not work for me - here are the steps I did in a video file https://youtu.be/peyF0LaRDUI (sorry I didn't trim off the end - that is what I can't do with VideoPad yet - export a subset of the entire video). Thanks again for any help/suggestions

NONE OF THESE SUGGESTIONS WORK - I've spent hours trying to see what I am doing wrong - but I am having the exactly same problem every time - Export previews and says the file will be 265 MB but then it produces a 10 GB file of the entire file that I am trying to get a clip of. I've created sequences, split them, copied and pasted into new sequences, selected export from the main menu, the sequence menu, the export menu. Made sure the clip was selected in the bottom portion of the screen (changed the choices from video file on the top left tabs to sequence and back, made sure that either clip preview or sequence preview was selected in the preview screen on the top right. Tried exporting all these different ways - but same result - Export dialog says the file will be about 250 MB - actual file size over 10 GB - almost same size as the original full file. SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROCESS!!!
