My apologies! I did save it in a txt file. Sorry to take up your time Guys

Thanks Guys, How do I find the registration code I was given when I purchased VPE and the date of purchase? Thanks for you help.

How do I back up my current VPE version in windows 10 to an external hard drive? Does VPE have an app for this? Happy 4th. PeterD for italiangen

Hi Borate, I am having the same problem. I'm using windows 10 and the 7.11 VPE. One additional caveat I've slowed down the speed to 90% due to the speakers rapid tempo. Please advise. Here is the cloud link https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgTRfeoPbjh6gYVZznOQwWvwYVik9g?e=5mFEAm Peter D Italiangen

Thanks Nationalsolo, it worked perfectly. I actually took it one step further by zooming-in. Now I just need to play with the image so that it doesn't look to stretched. PeterD

Hi. Is there a way to create a pic from a video frame and export it? I think I remember seeing this but I can't find it. Thanks for your help. PeterD

I've download it but when I want to record something it asks me to purchase or add a purchase code. Since I'm a home user, I thought that I was able to use the free version. I'm trying to record my desktop. I'm trying to create a small video on how to do something. Please advise.

I did purchase Video Pad Editor and now I'm trying to evaluate Debut. I download the software but whenever I try to record something like the desktop, it asks me to either purchase or enter a code. Is it not possible to use any of the features? Thanks

Borate, it sounds great. Thank you.

Thanks Guys. I still need to digest all of this. Q's now are; 1. In order to use your procedures, should I upgrade to v.7.4? 2. Nat, thanks for the adjusted file. I wish I could see the Fx settings you use to do this improvement. The fx square at the beginning of your adjustment does not show any of the effects you used. Regards, @it-italiangen

Here is the audio file. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgTRfeoPbjh6-jDwZdy_zwVABg9V I also need to study these last several posts Regards

Well. How about a show and tell. Can I send just the Q&A file to you both and have you demonstrate how to execute these adjustments? I have no problem having the audio file made public here for all to see and hear.

Wow. I guess what I'm going to to is Highlight the entire 40 minutes of Q&A and save it as a new file. Then start a new project and work on how to make the adjustment as described by you both. I just keep learning a lot from the two of you..... Question: why is it that if I wanted to establish a new Fx point I need to be in Sequence Mode? Then after selecting Amplify and to set Keyframe I need to be in Clip mode. It's a stretch but.... Wouldn't be nice if I could Copy and Paste the entire Q&A clip and have VP level out all the valleys on the Q's. Several might have to come up and additional gain of 100% others, just 50%. Thanks again.

Thanks Borate.

Thanks Nat. I needed to reread the procedure several times before I understood the procedure. Here are my comments and questions 1. Originally, I think I accomplished the same thing but far less eloquently and more labor intensive. I split the beg and ending of Answers and used Amplify to bring up the level. I repeated this some 20 times. So, let's say I wanted to rework my efforts and implement yours, how do I remove all those splits and get rid of all those fx adjustments? 2. What I'm understanding now is that I only need 1 Fx window for all ANSWERS and then 1 AMPLIFY effect adjust for each KEYFRAMED answer, then another KEYFRAME for the next Answer + another AMPLIFY effect... 20 times. Lets say that a few of the Answers are still too low; then I can increase the markers gain% for that answer, independently. Am I correct? Big thanks.

Nat, I can't thank you enough for you detailed information. This is also true for Borate. I was very successful in accomplishing this project. I'd say that I scored a 90%. A little more fine tuning and it's a 95%. I really learned a lot. With more experience I'm sure I'll fell more comfortable and confident. Here is another question. I was able to replace the audio from the presenter's auditorium podium mic with a second mic that captured his voice much or clearly. The improvement I'm trying to accomplish now is during the Q&A session. The audience volume is much lower and I did adjust this by applying Amplification. Is there a way I can equalize the audiences amplified levels to achieve consistency? Should this question start a new topic as per rules? If so, is there an easy way to do this? Thanks User007 for the link. Big thanks again for the excellent support by both Borate and Nationalsolo!!!!

Thank you very much Nat. This is a big help and I think I will be able to follow your instructions. One other point; let's say I want the presenter clip to play uncropped for the 1st 7 minutes, then cropped and overlayed onto Track 1 for the next 30 minutes. Then, from that point until the end I want the uncropped presenter. How does this change your procedure.

Ah Ha! And as in your example, the trick is to select the View to be Clip and background. Then if I want this overlay to start at a particular point then I should Split T1 at the point where I want to do the overlay and Split T2 at the point I want his cropped image to begin. I guess I have to line them up on the timeline?

Thanks. My situation is a bit different. I want to capture the presenter, not as a still photo, but the video of just him at the podium, then place that cropped image in the upper right hand corner. Nonetheless, I learned something from your video clip. Thank you.

I've started a new topic; namely video overlay. Here is the last reply I have a video file of a PowerPoint presentation and I want this to be the major image displayed in my video. I have another video file of the room presentation took place and I want to just crop the presenter and place his image in the upper right hand corner as a thumbnail image. I really don't want to split the screen, just overlay his image onto the video of the slides. Thanks for your help. PeterD borate Posted 14 hours ago Place the PP presentation on track one. Overlay the presenter's image on track 2.Click the fx button in the track 2 image clip and use the CROP|POSTION|SCALE effects to size and place it where you want it.The background and insert should both be shown in CLIP preview mode. Set the VIEW drop-down menu (under the preview window) set to CLIP AND BACKGROUND. Borate, I followed your suggestion and placed the PP on T1 and put the presenter's video on T2. When I click fx on T2 to crop, etc, the preview screen shows me T1. Is it that T1 should be T2 and visa versa? I know that I'm not understanding a basic concept here and I do apologize for that.

I'm close but not quite there yet. I have a video file of a Powerpoint presentation and I want this to be the major image displayed in my video. I have another video file of the room presentation took place and I want to just crop the presenter and place his image in the upper right hand corner as a thumbnail image. I really don't want to split the screen, just overlay his image onto the video of the slides. Thanks for your help. PeterD

I'm trying to reduced or crop a video and place it onto the hand side of another video. I've read this topic but I cant figure out if I need to overlay, or split the screen. Can I format the screen into two unequal parts? An additional element is that the two video files and one audio file are unlinked. As always, Thanks for the great support. 😉 p.s. I'm running VP 7.3.

OK. I got it. Thanks. I saved the project and exported an MP4. Once completed, I played it and the result on the audio side where not as it was when I played it in VPE. I played it in VLC and Windows Media Player and both splits were a little different. I replayed in VPE to see if it was good as I had edited it and it was. Any ideas? I also noticed that the volume is different between VLC and WMP. Tks.

Hi Borat, Again, thanks for your help. I have a few quick questions. 1. How do I fine tune the difference in timing between the 6 incorrect words spoken (T1) and the 3 word correction (T2). After I line up and mute T1 (6 words) and line up T2 (3 words) all is OK, except there is dead space on T2 until T1 comes back in. 2. If I make my splits and much later on I want to remove those splits and redo them for more precision, how is that accomplish? I cant seem to figure out how to use the white brackets on the timeline to to this. Thanks, PeterD

Hi, I have a sequence that is too dark and I want to lighten it. I know how to do this if I'm applying a lighten exposure setting it to an entire sequence, but how do I do it if I need to change exposure for a second or third piece? Do I; 1. Split the beginning and end in the preview display using the red and blue [ ], 2. then select video effects then choose and apply the setting, 3. then save the setting so that is is applied to that section only 4. then repeat if necessary for a different area on the sequence. When I split a sequence, does that split become a Clip? Are splits seamless? Thank you very much for your continued help. It is much appreciated Peter D
