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.
