2. and 3. didn't work. The uninstall offers a downgrade option. I chose it, and it indeed returned me to my previous version. But as I had done work in the new version and saved it, it wouldn't open my project file. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, and to my surprise, it worked. I was able to export my completed project to .mp4. Thank goodness. I guess somewhere, some executive changed the "it's free for home non-commercial use" to "F you, pay me."

Export video -> Video file Pops up a window saying, "Please buy VideoPad now to use this feature".

Wow, that was really helpful, thanks. But now the non-commerical home use only version is refusing to export my project to a video file. It worked fine in the old version, it just wouldn't export highest quality, which was fine. Now it won't do it at all. What did I do wrong?

One or two of them are long, which screws up the whole thing. I have something in one clip that's hard to see, and I want to put a circle around it to draw attention. How would I do that? I can write text, but not, say, a red circle on something in the frame.

OH. You can only do this in TIMELINE mode. I was in storyboard, as I'm working with a large number of small clips and it's impossible to work in Timeline with them. NOBODY SAID THAT 😭

How do you get Video Track 2 to appear? Evidently that's how you overlay text. I can get a title screen but I want video and text on at the same time.

I am unable to add text overlays. I had to use the "subtitle" menu, but I guess it's better than nothing.

Is there a page that shows what was gimped in the non-commercial home use only version? I thought it was only export file formats.
