Thanks Nationalsolo.  What if the audio for my project is split up on different tracks and each track has 20 splits?  Thanks for your help.  PeterD

Borate,  Maybe the reason the Replace Effect Chain in Other Selected Clips  did not appear when I finished selecting all clips is that it was loading(?) or whatever all the clips.  When I came back to and saw your pic it was highlighted.  Not exactly how well it normalized but I can tell you that it changed many clips that were originally MUTED to UN-MUTED.  I therefore undid all the selections steps.

Here is a pic link of what my timeline looks like.  Maybe that will show what my situation is.  Thanks

Click the fourth button from the left on the effects toolbar, the one whose pop up reads Replace Effect Chain in Other Selected Clips.

Sorry Borate but I can't find this reference.  I'm using ver. 6.29.

Hi,  Thanks for taking my inquiry.  I cant figure out how to create a copy of a multi track multi split final audio track.  The audio is part of a recorded video presentation with audience participation.  The reason for this is that I want to run it thru the "Levelator" app.  You could also comment on how and why I should use VPE's audio "Normalizer" for all tracks simultaneously.  As always, thanks for your help.   PeterD

I'm using 6.29 not ver 7.5.  are you saying that is issue is handled the same way?  Thanks.

Could the issue be that I purchased the Home addition originally but now see that I downloaded the Professional version?   Could this have anything to do with this?  There was not a choice of the two version in the "Old Versions" download site.  PeterD

Hi,  I've reinstalled 6.29 and restarted a new project from source files.  I'm now trying to apply a polygon mask to a portion of an image but it is not showing up in the sequence preview for an accurate alignment.  Prior to the mask, I re-positioned the frame to the left for a later overlay on right half of the frame.  I've done masks on other project but for some reason it is just not working.  I've check the "View" tab but am unsure if this is the problem.  I'm sure you are going to tell me it's a simple adjustment.....:-)) Thanks for your help.

Borate,  Is it safe to say that "Save as Portable" is a ZIP file of the project?  Where can I find a description (bug fixes and new features) of the difference between ver. 6.29 and & 7.0?

Again, Happy Thanksgiving!  PeterD

I installed the lite version (7.50) onto the desktop and loaded the old project.  So far so good.

I left the new 7.3 version on this laptop due to the fact that I already started a new project on it.

Will old projects load into the new version once I purchase it?  A new project (7.3), will it load into an older 6.29 version?  If the video files and the .vpj file of an old project were moved to another drive and them attempted to open to the another computer,  would this cause a problem.

As always, thanks for the great support!

Sorry to be a pain but...  As I said earlier, I had to reinstall the OS on this laptop.  The other day I mistakenly downloaded the latest version and started to work on a new project.  I do plan to purchase this new version but I need to first submit the purchase order and that will take at least a week.  I tried to export the file but was stopped until I said I would be purchasing it at a later date.

I needed to work on an older video that I created with ver 6.29.  Thinking I could not install the older version on this laptop I installed it on my desktop.  I re-registered it and tried to load an old project but it said the file was not compatible with the 6.29 version.  Is that because the version was update during the six-month window?

Please advise.  Thank you.  PeterD

Got it.  Thanks for the help.

Hi,  I have a short clip of a slide that is overlaid onto a video.  The slide clip is only 10 sec. but I want it to appear as on overlay for a much longer time period.  How would I accomplishment this.  Thanks for your help.  PeterD

Hi Nat,  I think I got it.  Part of it was to un-check the AR Maintain in the Scale and to re-position both independently without cropping.   Thanks for your help.  PeterD

Thanks Nat.  So If I understand correctly, I don't have to crop the left had side of the lower clip so that I can have more space to overlay the upper clip?  The space I have in the lower clip is not large enough to view the entire slide of the upper clip.  So do I have to Scale the upper clip?  Thanks.

Hi,  I'm a bit confused on how to crop two different clips and then merge or overlay one onto the other.  Here is a small snip of what I'm trying to do.  Just the step and I think I can figure it out. 

As usual, thanks for your help!

Hi.  I had a sys problem and need to do a fresh install of os.  I had a paid version that recently expired and just reinstalled the free unlicensed version.  Do I have to re-register this version under the old license key?  I cant repurchase the new version until Jan but I'm still editing current projects.  Please advise.  Thank you.

lenovo yoga i5 8250 CPU 1.6 Hz  1.8Gz   GPU 3.9  Ram 8GB  C:/ free space  76GB    Looks like I'm pushing my resources to its limit.  

I have the option to use a much smaller 2.2 GB MP4 file from my Sony camera vs. a  mt2s 11GB file.  I'm assuming that the larger file has a better quality  but given my subject matter and  enviornmental factors I'm not being realistic. Should I just start the editing using the mp4?

I appreciate any and all comments on this and I thank you for your help as usual.

Borate I'm looking to reduce speed to 87%

Here is my project.  Thanks for your help  PeterD

Hi.  I'm running an expired license of 7.11 and I'm trying to change a clip speed but it does not render.  It is a large file.  When I play the file in clip or sequence preview says "Building Preview. Please wait"  It has been over an hour and I see no progress of rendering.  Thanks for your help.  Peter D  italiangen.

Thanks Borate, your instruction help me figure it out.  Can you change my status of Professional to something lower.  Thanks

Hi.  Thanks for taking my question.  The beginning of a presentation recording is displaying the wrong slide for some 12 seconds.  I have a .png image that I want to overlay until the next slide appears.  I'm just not sure of the steps involved.  Here is what I think;

The .png is in the bin   I identified the end point as far as timing is concerned and added a split.  The video is on the timeline.  I'm unsure if I should be in Clip Preview or Sequence Preview so that I can create a mask for the first 12 seconds.  I'm unsure how to get the png into that mask for those 12 seconds.  Is it an overlay? At sequence or????

Thanks for your help on this.

Hi Nat and Borate,  I most definitely used the wrong terminology.  Trailor is what I should have used.  I have a Sony FDRax53 and it has a feature that allow for the auto creation of a "Highlight" video.  I can set some parameters and create a 3-5 minute video in the camera before I download the full video to the PlayMemories desk app from Sony.  

I'll take a look at the templates you suggest and get back to you.

Thanks for the great support, again.  I'm a frequently flyer 😉

My final video is one hour long.  A highlight clip would be something like 3 to 5 minutes long of a random selection of parts of the video.

Hi Borate,  I'm not sure I completely understand.  I've finished editing my video in VPE 7.11  I was looking to try and create a highlight reel.  Can VPE generate it?

Hi.  I was wondering if VPE is able to generate a highlight clip from a video project. Thanks for your help
