Thank You.

My Bad. Yes AAC.

Hi People

I am thinking of purchasing a new camcorder, but the sound format is ACC. I am using VidePad 8.84. Does VP8.84 handle ACC sound format?

Regards Dave

Thanks @borate I was on 8.84 until it crashed and in reporting  the crash was offered 8.91 and then 2. I will go back.

Regards Dave

Hi people

Using 8.92 version of Videopad yesterday 17-10-20 and I noticed that the Hide Track on Output button was working incorrectly. When the red cross was present the track was visible and when the cross was missing the track was invisible. This morning things are working correctly.

Anyone else noticed this?

Regards Dave

Thanks. I will do that.

Thank you @borate

I already have the pdf help file on my PC. I have just reperformed the following searches "disable", "grid", "animation" and "animation grid", which I did before opening this post. I have also reread the effect masking section. I found no mention that a snap to grid exists nor how to turn it off, and as an aside no mention that it is critically important not to add or delete node points when using the effects animation editor.

Please do not think that I am completely dissatisfied with VP, I am not. It does all and more than I could want at the moment, and the help I have received through this forum and directly from VP technicians has been the best.

Regards Dave

Thank you @Nationalsolo and @borate

I did look for this information in the help section but could not find it. This is only a minor complaint but I find the instructions to this software reminiscent of the early computer/software instructions which told you what the machine/software would do but little help as to how to do it.  Always got the impression that the writers expected the users to be as clued up as they where, not some struggling bricklayer like me.

hi @borate

"Does "imported FX sequences not playing properly" refer to your 'flying man' landing displaying black on export?  Yes, that has been fixed. "

Yes that is what I mean. Thanks for the info.

Sorry my mistake in not making myself clear. The grid I want to disable is in the effects animation editor. As I said above when moving multiple node points to follow a complex curve i.e. a person running the grid stops accurate positioning of the nodes.

Regards Dave

Hi @borate

I am still using 6.31 as later versions have the bug that stops imported FX sequences playing properly in the exported version.

Do you know if this has been fixed yet?

I use the caps key to disable the snap to grid because Ilearned of it in a forum post but for the life of me can not find it again, but it does work.

Regards Dave

Hi all

Quick question and I suspect the answer is no. Is it possible to toggle off/disable the snap to grid other than pressing the Caps key? 

When forming a FX polygon around a moving complex shape i.e. me running across the screen, the snap to grid just gets in the way of accurately positioning the node points.

Hi @Nationalsolo

I followed your advice and managed to export the whole project. I still do not know why the project stopped exporting correctly, though I do suspect that my old man's PC is not up to the job.

Thanks for you help.

Regards Dave

Hi @Nationalsolo

I answer to your first question "export it as a standalone clip?" I exported the whole VP project. I do this because as the project grew my PC is unable to keep up with the software, so as a work around I export the project to see how my edits are going. It's slow but it works. For my next project I will work with smaller files and then arrange them together at the end.

Hi all

I am using VP version 8.63 and windows 10. I am unable to use later versions of VP as they do not export imported FX clips correctly. MY drivers are up to date as are  all Microsoft updates.

When I export the project it does not export the whole file and some of the FX clips stop working.

It did export properly up to the point when I imported an audio file to play over the spinning earth at the start of the project.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards Dave

hi @Nationalsolo

Sort off.

Hi Kim

Is this just for NCH people to see or everyone as I would like to see what other people are doing?

Any comments/criticism welcome.

Sometime ago in an earlier post it was mentioned that there is a place to post finished projects for others to see and comment on. I would like to go there but can not find it. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

PS oops I'm in the wrong forum. Going to repost in VP

Hi Mark

Welcome to the forum.

Loved you post, only understood a third of it but then I'm a brick and mortar man not numbers bits.

Regards Dave

@borateThank you again. Never knew this video editing malarkey was so frustratingly difficult. But as I said before, loving every moment.

Well I think the users who posted "unpleasant incidents" should have their hands nailed to their keyboards.

Hi @borate

If you look at the two screen shots you can see I am getting a misplacement of the ground shock wave in the exported video.

How do you get pictures in this post. I tried cut and paste to no avail?

Regards Dave

Hi @borateThanks for that. Yes it works better without the flying clip. I think I over complicated the edit in wanting a little bit of movement in myself whilst flying, not just a still key frame until I landed, not realising I already had the movement in the landing clip.

Did you notice that the ground shock wave effect is in a different position in the exported footage to that in the preview? Lets hope the new version sorts this out.

Do you think the shadow is also part of the same bug?

How does applying a transparency to the landing track subdue the shadow?

Again thank you for your help.

Regards Dave
