I'm using VideoPad Professional v 7.33 CPU: AMD A8-5550M APU 2.10 GHz with 8.00 GB RAM GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8550G 272 GB free of 672 GB total Thanks for the tip to export the sequence. That was a great timesaver. I was able to get the MP4 saved with the transition effects I was seeking so sharing it won't be needed, but thanks for that availability. I'll be purchasing a new machine in the next few months, so any advice on optimum specs for video editing would be appreciated. Again thanks for all your help.

I am trying to fix some transitions before exporting the video to an mp4 file. Exporting a 40 minute video is taking about 5 hours. Is that normal? Also is there a way to export the changes without having to wait that long to export the whole video to be able to see if the changes work how I'm wanting them in the final video. Another issue with this is when I am previewing the transition changes I get a lot of stalling and the message "building preview, please wait" which doesn't let me see whether those transitions are running smoothly. Any suggestions?

This is a brief clip of the audio I need to adjust. Thanks for any advice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSPv-Q7s2YE&feature=youtu.be

I need some suggestions on how to mask background noise and increase foreground audio. It's video of an outdoor conversation with live music being played nearby. I need to hear the conversation better and decrease the music. I've tried to use the noise reduction feature without much success. Any tips would be much appreciated.

The Help contents shows a "balloons" effect under "effects and transitions." It is supposed to overlay a video clip with animated balloons but I cannot locate this in the program. Does anyone know where this can be found? Thanks.

Is there a way to vertically adjust typewriter text so that it appears at the top or bottom of the frame instead of across the middle?
