Thanks Borate.  Happy New Year.  Peter

Hi Borate,  I reinstalled W10 and reloaded VPE and Debut.  All is good.  I think I may have deleted a file when I did a Disk Clean up and selected "User File History."  Do you think there was something in there that caused the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Peter

Hi Borate,  Merry Christmas.

All of a sudden I'm having a problem loading a video file m2ts.  When starting a new project, the new file never completely indexes.  It stops at about a third of the way and just closes.  I tried reinstalling 8.75, installing an older version 8.55 and still the same.  I used Revo as well.   Short of re-installing windows 10, do you have any suggestions?

Stay Safe!

Peter

Understood.  Thanks for the explanations.   It helps.  Thanks for your continued support.  Peter

After sending you the last email I had the thought to just create an MP4 of the final edited clips and then make another vpj and make the ins and outs on that file.  Does this make any sense? 

I see what you mean in your reply, that even the screenshot version, I can do the in and outs equally and then delete everything outside those parameters.  Correct?  When I save the project, I imagine it brings all ins and outs together?  

Thanks again for your help.

Peter

Thanks Borate, 

Here is a link to a screenshot.  https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlZIwAz6LW7CgZ0z6dMRj_0LMwkyfw?e=zVsfre

You'll notice that I've go 1 video track VT2 and 2 audio track. AT2 and 3.  Video and audio track 1 no longer exists

1. If I click on the clip I want to extract a small portion by setting the start and endpoint, it does not take the audio from track 3 like I want.  And since I have audio track 2 muted, I get no sound.  Furthermore, the only way I can set the start and end points is to do it in Clip Preview.  Am I correct?  

2.  I saved the original project as the ... Vignette Interview vpj. so that I could try and figure out how to create the highlight clip.

Thanks,  Peter

Hi.  What is the best way for me to create a small highlight clip from many larger clips?  I was thinking of taking splits, copying them and moving them to a new track but I'm not sure this is the way to do it.  I thought about copying a split and opening a new project and pasting it, but that seems to not work.  I would appreciate some guidance.

I want to take several seconds of several different clips along with its audio and blend them into a three minute clip. 

Thanks for your help,

Got it thanks.  I figured out that the overlapping was due to me setting the red start at 0 minutes and the blue end at 10 minutes. 

If I get a VTT file from Zoom, can I load it into the subtitles and hit apply or should I first save the VTT file in the subtitles window as an SRT, then apply the SRT file and delete the VTT?

Thanks,  Peter

Thanks.  So how do I get the correct caps for the 10 minutes?  In the large text box on the left side of the Subtitles screen, I deleted and began the cc text at 10:00 and I deleted everything after the 20:00 mark.  Is that not correct?  Peter

Borate,  I'm still having issues with CC.  Here is a link to the folder that has a 10 minute, low res clip. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16ITYOoYZlDhBsH-byao2M5ozmmVy2K3W?usp=sharing    Here are the four files it contains and the issues I'm having.

1. The original zoom file and the vtt file.  When I loaded the mp4 and the vtt for the project and then went to the subtitles tab I tried to save the vtt file and it could only save it as an ssa file.

2.  I extracted the 10 minutes portion and had to note the beginning and end time stamp so that I could line up the cc text with the audio portion.  

3.  I did figure out the format edits but I could not get the overlapping to stop.  I was also trying to get the text to scroll from right to left.  Is that possible.  

4.  I noticed that when in the subtitles tab window that there is a Auto Generate tab.  Is this a better way to create cc by having VP to do it?

Thanks for your help.

Peter

I tried the ssa file and got the same result.

I still had some issues so I created another Debut file for you to review.  Thanks

Here is a Debut clip of what I think you are saying.  Hope you don't mind me asking for your help this way?  Peter

Hi Thanks for taking my question.  I have a Zoom recording that has two out files.  One has embedded cc and the other without but has a separate vtt file.  I'm trying to get VPE to display the text for the embedded version and still adjust the text size and position.  Or,  I'd like to use the video version without cc but add the vtt file and make adjustments.  

Can you supply some insight as to where or not VPE can handle this and how I might proceed?

Regards,  PeterD

Borate,  I did try it on another computer and it did work.  So I ran the windows 10 repair and reinstalled windows.  It took care of the problem.  I installed 8.45 and then the newer version 8.75 and all is well.  

Thanks for your help.

Peter

In order to try another machine, I guess I need to delete VPE on this machine and use another machine and use the license key...  

Thanks for all your help.  Peter

Still the same.  I used the tool, deleted all the VPE files and registries entries,  reinstalled 8.45, waited 10 minutes, no green progress indicator for video and still no audio track.  Like you I played the mp4 with VLC and WMP and it plays just fine.  Any other ideas?

After testing a lower-res version of the file...

Borate,  It still does not work.  The audio tracks are blank.  

Thank you Borate.  Here is the link.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZUPHviE0u9kLv7dAthNv2DW6EXHtB8n6/view?usp=sharing

I originally tried to use a newer version of VPE.  It always said the there was an error in loading some transitions and effects.  So I uninstalled that ver and tried 8.5x and the problem was still apparent, the same error and no audio recognition.  I finally tried the 8.1 ver which was the newest ver when I repurchased a new license in Feb 26.  I'd love to use a newer ver that my time period allows.. 8.6x?

The Zoom video also has an automated closed captioning embedded on it.  Will VPE process this as well.

As always, thanks for your superb support.

Peter

I loaded an MP4 video file from Zoom and the audio portion does not appear.  I loaded a separate MP3 file and that was not recognized either.  The issue is present in 8.5 and 8.1 licensed versions.  I'm running w10.  Thanks for your assistance

Hi Borate,  Just to let you know, I reinstalled W10 and all is ok now.  I completed a project using 7.1 before the update and it had very limited effects available.  After the re-install, and loading 8.63 then the 7.1 project, VPE accepted the 7.1 version and VPE had all features.

So, is it safe to say there was a registry error or other settings?

Thanks for your great support as always,

Peter

Nat,  I got the folder back.  Thanks for your help

it worked.  was it just a type-o?   

How bad of a problem is the missing components folder?  Your support is invaluable to me, Borate!  Peter

Thanks Borate for all your help.  I'll stay with 7.51 for the moment.  I'd like to get a more recent version that has fixes and upgrade functionally.  I remember that there was a listing of older versions of VP software that I could try but I can't seem to find the URL that allows me to install an older version.  Do you think there is much to gain if I work my way thru the list between 7.51 and 8.6?

NationalSolo, I deleted the Components folder and reinstalled and it did not work.  I looked for the folder and it did not reinstall.  What is the impact?

Regards, Peter D

Thank you very much Borate!  You keep coming thru for me.  May I mention a few points.

1. This was a video file from Zoom

2. Could a virus be the cause?  I'm running Windows Security only and keep things updated.

3.  I'm going to assume that these issues are caused by my computer somehow.  What tests or tools would you recommend I use to research or verify that my computer is working properly?

I hope I'm not asking to much.

Regards,

Peter
