Hello!   Thanks for the tip.  I already canceled and obtained a refund from NCH Videopad.    I will try using my old PC tomorrow and see if the software still works as usual on there.

Thank you for your feedback.   This far exceeds my IT capabilities unfortunately.

I have a brand new Core i9 laptop with rather high-end parts so I am surprised at the failure with NCH Videopad, an app that worked well on my much older machine.

Cheers.

Hi,

I just purchased NCH VideoPad after using it for a few years on another PC.   I edited and exported a video with sound.

The resulting MP4 video has only sound and grey screen  OR the video freezes after the first few seconds.  (in windows media player)

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thank you..

Thanks, I was able to move the track on top but not the one under it - odd - and that solved it.

Hello!

So I think this is the right place to ask:

I want to drag a part of the video track towards the right, to make the timeline longer.  When I try dragging the part of the video, it won't move towards the right anymore.

Not sure why it doesn't allow me to move it, anyone know?

Thank you!

Hello,

So I am back at editing a bunch of short videos into a long one.

I dragged a video file into "Video Track 2", but instead of getting into that track, it created its own "Video Track 3" just above it.   When I try to drag that short video from Track 3 to 2, it won't work.    I made sure to delete the soundtrack of the video before attempting to merge them into Track 2.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thank you

Ah yes, in that case there is nothing I can do since I was creating an animated GIF, not a still image which would be easily editable in Photoshop.

I hope one day NCH VideoPad can do away with those unnecessary transparent or white bands, it makes it difficult to insert the generated (and cropped) GIF into a page with other elements on it (there is an odd empty space above and below the GIF now.

Thanks for your input and help on this.
Cheers.

Hello, it finally worked, thank you for your help !!

One oddity I noticed:

https://ibb.co/Jx62yPv

When I upload the GIF onto my page, I am unable to click on the area immediately above and below the image, as if there were white bands.

When I open the GIF in Photoshop, it shows transparen bands above and below the image as well:  https://ibb.co/P5xKm47

So even thought the GIF image itself was cropped, the removed area is still there somehow.

Ah damn, here is the file (gif) that I wanted to crop: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19WFlzp-edfo4z6zFkvJ0-zF7CcTNnvTg/view?usp=sharing

In case you need the original (long) video used to make the gif, here is the link:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n2HlclaF_TZFN_fUdU9_pNzZHBjrDqUa/view?usp=sharing

Hello all,

Thank you, I am still struggling with it.

Nationalsolo:  I did that, but upon exporting, the video is exactly the same size as original.

I tried again: Selected all the parts of the video > Video Effects > Crop:   It only cropped the last part of the video, and upon exporting, same as above.

Hello!

I want to make a video less tall by cropping top and bottom inwards a bit.   I did that, then Exported the file as a video.

The resulting video is exactly the same height as the original one, it changed nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!
Cheers.

Thank you!  That solved the problem.

Hello all,

Newbie here.  I produced a 3D animation, and upon uploading it into VideoPad, it appears with black bands at top and bottom edge.

What side I need to set my 3D animation for it to fit the VideoPad window?

Thank you,

Your paying user :)

Hello !

Thank you very much to help fix things.   I tried fixing it myself but never found out what happened, I worry this will happen again with every video I add an audio track to.

It looks like we're 99% there.  The only issue now is that there are no volume controls on each audio track segment.   Previously, I was able to adjust the volume of each segment on the audio track, but these controls are now gone.  The only option to change the volume is on the far left.

Update:  I installed the newlry released version 7.30  and maybe this fixed the issue...

Hi man,  thanks for the hard work.  Looks like I need a degree in IT to be a successful editor 😅

My version is v7.12. 

I downloaded your folder, but found that it contains 4 jpeg images, could not locate the vpj file ?

I played with it over the last few days, and the behavior of the program is so bizarre, it really looks like a major software bug.   Instead of playing the video track from beginning to end, around halfway into it, the preview screen shows the video playing again from the beginning (even though the media loaded in video track is still there).  In other words, there is a mismatch between the media loaded into video track, and the preview window.

There are no problems with the video until I upload the soundtrack and cut it into smaller segments to attribute different volume to each.  😥

Thank you very much.  I hadn't noticed that my audio file was indeed some kind of video file, despite not having any visible video when playing it.

Sadly, the stream of strange errors has not stopped...

• I locked all existing video and audio tracks
• I imported the mp3 audio file
• So far no issue and the mp3 soundtrack plays normally in its own audio track. 
• I cut the audio file into different short segments, in order to assign different volume levels to each
• Upon playing the entire thing from the beginning, I noticed that the video was now totally wrong.  Around 0.42 the video ignores the media on the video track, and apparently plays itself again from the beginning!    (despite the video track being locked)

I closed the file without saving, tried the same thing over a dozen times with the same result, ruling out the possibility of a unique glitch 😪

I don't know how much patience you have, but here is a link to the portable folder:

Thank you..!

Good idea..  :)

Here is the video file:   https://we.tl/t-BzfhsnBBES

Here is the audio file that I am trying to import unsuccessfully:  https://we.tl/t-Tn0LfimEc9

If anyone can check it out, I would be grateful !!

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

So I tried importing an M4A file, it didn't work.  

Converted said file to MP4, it didn't work.    "Failed to load file".

Do you know how to fix this, or what's causing it?

Thank you

Thanks for the tip, that worked well.

Thank you very much, that solved the issue !

Unfortunately now I have a very different issue:    When I drag a new video clip into a gap in my video, it does not go inside that gap.  Instead, it creates a new video track just above the existing one........

I've been using the program for a week without a hitch, and now two in a row with no solution on any tutorials 😲

In any case, thank you for the help!

Hello!   My first post here and already having some issues.

• I have a 3 min long video made of a dozen of so smaller video clips.
• An audio track runs below.   
• So far so good.
• Next, I try to insert some newly made video clips into the 3 min video
• The problem:  The new video clips displace the audio track. No audio track wants to stay right below the newly inserted video clips.  All audio immediately moves out of the way resulting in a large audio gap where those new video clips are.
• I tried deleting the audio track and re-importing the entire audio again.  The audio track then completely skips the video and positions itself before or after it.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
