Okay I just tried my same file with the new beta version that you provided. Same problem. I import a 4K drone video and then use a lossless export to export the same video to a different file which it does in about 5 seconds and it creates the exact same video with a audio channel of zero amplitude. Normally that's not a problem but my entire set up was designed around a video that had no audio at all. So by using an older version I was able to create lossless videos with zero amplitude audio files. I wouldn't necessarily consider this a bug but a certain workaround.

Yes I always unlink the audio from the video but when it creates a video it makes a complete audio channel with no input try it. I will try your beta version though. What I found is best for me is to read the entire 4K video in which has no audio channel from the drone and then use a lossless export at 4K which creates an audio channel of zero amplitude. Then later I can bring it in and don't unlink it and delete it as I see fit. But the latest version 7.25 won't even let you bring an end because they do not match. That's where I ran my problems.

I really learned this trick on this website several months ago. I have a 4K drone that produces 900 MB of data every minute with no audio. I use VideoPad to convert these 4K video files down to a smaller 1080p version with higher grade compression. The result file is 20 times smaller than the original 4K video. So I put all these files in a directory and use VideoPad to add my title, text captions, music, watermark additions. Then once the results are completed I swap the directories over to the large files and run the result with the real files and don't care how long it takes because I'm not watching it. I then make 3 different versions of the same file one in 4K mode, one in 2K mode, and the last one in the smaller 1080p mode. Now for the problem: the latest version of VideoPad, and I have several licenses v7.25 requires that the video file has an audio addition. So I had to find an old version that had not been updated which was one of my other licenses the 7.21 that allowed me to read the large file in and write it out in the same 4K mode. It produces an audio channel with zero amplitude. But at least it has an audio channel which is required for the new version. So if you're experiencing problems with using a downsized version with 7.25 you need to find an older version unless someone can explain to me how you can create MP4 without an audio channel with VideoPad. Thoughts? Here is the final 2K version that I did last week on YouTube. https://youtu.be/pcsgxAPacwA

I'm trying to figure out what's going to help my speed the best. I came from a slower machine with only 12 gigs of RAM/6 cores and noticed that it was slow. Once I moved to this machine I have definitely noticed an improvement in speed. I'm still trying to determine if is the video card, memory, CPU speed, what? I know that if I were to go more than 16 cores like 18 or 20 cores I would have to go with water cooled and I don't want that. I'm doing this mainly for image stabilization which takes over 100% of the real-time speed to process the video. Example, a 2 hour video will take 2 hours of image stabilization processing on this machine.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to make my computer run as fast as possible with VideoPad. I'm currently running the 7.10 which I have not updated to 7.11 yet, all licensed. Computer hardware is my cup of tea since I'm a computer engineer. So I'm trying to figure out what I can do to make VideoPad run faster. Is it CPU speed? Is it memory? GPU speed? Is it GPU type? So currently here is what I'm running: Dual XEON 2.7 GHz with 8 cores each totaling 16 cores. 1TB SSD, 48 gigs of RAM. GEFORCE GTX 1080 GPU. Windows 7 professional. So what what I do to increase my VideoPad speed? Thoughts?

Okay I pretty much understand what you guys are saying now. I get all the video clips the way I want and then as a separate procedure I can right-click and stabilized all of them at one time and walk away for a long time as long as I have enough computer hard drive space. I estimate with a machine that I have it's about a 100% time of each video clip at 640x480 on my workstation. Thanks for your tremendous help. I think now I'll make a video post about computer resources.

Let me make sure I understand what you guys are saying. 1) the image stabilization cannot be done as an effect but you can do it by selecting as many clips as you want right clicking and then say stabilize and will all stabilize all of them in order. It will create a temporary file in the videos directory as an AVI that will have to be later deleted so I have to make sure I don't run out of hard drive space. It cannot be done as an effect item. 2) I can then create an effects item that can delay the video and do other auto correction of color and store it as a template. But since one of the items I want to do is to delay the video by several frames from the audio I will have to do the effect of delaying the video first, then stabilizing everything, and then finally writing my last effects as of post operation template after the image stabilization. Is that seem to be correct?

I'm going to experiment with what you guys recommend. And yes I know stabilization takes for ever and that's why I'm trying to come up with an automated method to stabilize in the background. That's one of the reasons why I have a workstation with 16 processors. It seems that VP uses the multithreading well. As far as clearing the C drive, A batch file was my idea also.

Yes I have done that and that does work I can stabilize multiple videos by selecting them in the program. The problem is I want to do a lot more than just stabilize the videos in a batch process. 2 it leaves stabilized AVI droppings on the C drive and will fill up my SSD hard drive with the stabilized videos. I know I can do it manual I'm trying to create an automated batch version that does the whole procedure. I'm trying to basically stabilize videos, do a few other effects, change the audio delay, all in one operation.

I'm trying to create a procedure where I can batch mode image stabilize all my videos without having to do them one at a time. I know how to do batch mode with the the batch mode option but it seems like image stabilization is a separate process. Any help? Also when you image stabilize videos it creates a stabilized video in your video directory on your C Drive and I have to delete it periodically once the stabilization is completed otherwise the hard drive will fill up with the stabilized videos that I don't need any more. Example: if I have a file named "test.mp4" it will create a new file named "test - stabilized.avi"on my video directory on my C Drive. Once my stabilized video is stored I no longer need this file and it can be deleted. I am currently using VideoPad full-blown professional version the 7.10 Windows with 16 processors dual Xeon workstation.
