  1. After some audio issues with videopad v10.16. I'm trying to get v13.30 to work properly on a Lenovo w540 laptop.

    But I'm experiencing some horizontal glitches in the export, using the default and the nvidia k1100 export settings. CPU only and using the intel hd4600 works fine, but it is slower.

    Currently I'm using the 64bit version, I also used the 32bit version. But with the 32bit version there were a lot more glitches.

    I already done the driver installation thing. And now I wonder if there is a setting for nvidia control panel that fixes my issues.

    Because I would like to use the nvidia chip as it is quicker that the other options.

  2. I mistakenly was using the 32bit version of videopad. (v13.30)

    And after installing the 64 bit version, the height, and look, of the audio tracks is back to "normal".

    But I also installed that same 64bit version on an other laptop, and that one shows 3 horizontal dots just below the peak audio level indicator.

    I believe they are for adjusting the height of the audio tracks. In my opinion a rather useless feature.

    Installing the 64 bit version, also mostly, seem to fix an issue with digital artefacts.

    Mostly, but not completely :( They are probably related to the nividia k1100m processor.

    Software rendering is better, but also slower.

  3. I've been using v10.16 over the past two years, and it is 64bit.

    Now I'm testing v13.30, and I'm a bit surprised it's 32 bit!

    Why? by now most windows computers should be 64bit, why link to a 32bit version on the website?

    I don't get it, and where is the 64 bit version?

  4. I've been using version 10.16 and it has been o.k. for me, the bugs I can work around :)

    But now I have an audio issue and videocard support problems, so I'm trying version 13.30+

    So far it's ok, but the height of the tracks is higher, and now a project no longer fits my 1080p laptop screen.

    I know I can collapse the audio track, and I sometimes use this option. But I would like the audio tracks to be the same size as in v10.16

    Does anyone know how to make this happen?

     

  5. I just discovered a second clip in the same project that has the same problem. The audio is not distorted it is just played back at at-least twice the volume. And again the waveform in the vp editor is representing that. On the desktop pc the waveform is near the baseline, on the laptop the same clip is is almost maxing out. Probably to a point where distortion could happen. I can also hear lots of audio noise on both the effected clips.

    I copied the project to two different external SSD's and both have the same problem.

  6. They are all hd mp4 files from a panasonic camera.

    On the laptop I set the audio to 12% and now on the desktop I can hardly hear the clip :(

    It's a recent windows 10 installation, and not much was changed. Certainly no drivers/codecs.

  7. Unfortunately deleting all the cache files and disabling the audio normalisation option did not solve my issue.

    I also tried v10.12 on another computer and that works without any strange audio problems.

    Very stand and frustrating! I'm excluding data corruption as a possible source of problems. But I have no idea where to look next :(

  8. I got videopad v10.16 running on both my windows 10 desktop and laptop, with the latest system updates.

    The project I'm working on is on an external usb hard drive.

    When I open the project on my desktop computer all is good.

    But when I move the external hdd to the laptop, one audio clip is suddenly playing much louder. The volume settings are the same and there is no audio effect.

    The waveform showed in the timeline of the laptop is much higher then on the desktop. And there is a lot of audio noise. So it looks/sounds like that clip is somehow amplified a lot.

    I would have added some screenshots but I don't think this is possible :(

    Any thoughts on this? Because it's driving me mad!

  9. Sometimes I use the clip preview tab to make a video selection. But at some point I accidentally press the space bar to stop playback and then it jumps back to sequence preview. I know this is going to happen, but I can not make myself stop pressing the space-bar and just use the on-screen buttons. Is it perhaps possible to change the behaviour of the spacebar when in clip preview tab?

  10. I want to speed up a piece of video on track2 so I can make it fit a gap in track 1. But after speeding up the whole sequence auto ripples, despite me holding down the alt key. I'm using v10.16 and I need to do this because videopad has a bug where it mucks up sped up video if you apply an effect after the video was already sped up. An annoying bug I some times forget about. It only seems to happen when the effect is applied to multiple clips. The a/v of the sped up clip gets screwed up. Was this bug perhaps fixed in a more recent version? I'm not that keen on upgrading since v.p will probably introduce some new bugs :)

  11. This issue is far from solved for me. Videopad is being a bit of a bitch. And I rebuild most of the sequence to get the result I wanted :(

    A work around that does seem to work; Grouping together the items (a+v) to the right of the picture I want to extend. Then I am able to move that group to the right making the rest of the items in the sequence also move a bit, and creating space for me to extent the picture on the left of the grouped items. It's a bit of extra work but it gets me the result I want. Note: turns out grouping things together is not needed, just selecting them before moving seems to be enough.

  12. I got some pictures on video track 1 and some audio on audio track 1.

    No I want to move a picture a bit to the right, by making the play length a bit longer

    Now how do I automatically make the audio clips move the same amount to the right so everything stays in sync? (I tried grouping things but that did not fix my problem)

  13. Listen, there was definitely a problem for me that got fixed by removing the fade in effect on the first clip.

    with the fade in effect on I could not set an outline for the zoom effect I wanted. I could only see a chequered pattern.

    I tried switching between clip preview and sequence preview that did not help. only disabling the fade in effect did help.

    For me this was an bug and not normal. Now lets forget about it :)

  14. Buggy v.p. stikes again :)

    I cleaned up audio track 2 and 3 and now I want to move the audio from track 4 to track 2

    But every time I place the audio at the beginning of the video sequence, v.p. moves everything except that piece of audio to the right. Why?

    If I use track 3 things work as expected.  But I want to save screen space by using track 2.

    If I move the piece of audio bit by bit to the right on track 2 at some point it just splits the sequence of video, making a huge gap. Sigh, why, sigh.

  15. Yes with playhead I'm talking about the redline.

    I reloaded the project and disabled track 2 and 3 and the problem was gone. But for a while it became rather frustrating.

    And it wasn't the first issue I had today. Earlier I tried to apply a zoom effect but I did not get the proper preview. For some reason I only got a chequered pattern that represents a transparent clip. The problem was gone after I removed the fade in effect on the first clip of the sequence. I think this might be a bug.

  16. I'm trying to cut an old video. But vp keeps jumping back to a certain position in the timeline (the end of a picture above in track 2) when I try to use the arrow keys to position the playhead. Is this a bug or is there a reason it keeps dong this. Because it is driving me crazy! I use v10.16

  17. I edited a sequence 1 and copied the complete content to sequence 2.

    Now audio and video is shown as one piece without any cuts.

    Next, I would like to apply some audio edits to the whole track

    But when I press the FX button shown on the wave form, the option I get are for the video stream.

    Something's wrong here!

  18. Work slower, buy a new computer or go back to using a 240p camera.

    But seriously, videopad just keep adding things to do to its background work queue of cache file building.

    And at some point, if the video gets log and complex enough, it will grind down any computer no mater how fast.

    In my experience it's the disk i/o that seems to be the limiting factor. But it might be the CPU for you.

  19. Still, I would like to know what's so smart about this option.

    When exporting using this variable max 60 fps setting the files come out a bit smaller. Perhaps 5%

    That can be a lot on a shit internet connection.  It looks good to me.

    But I'm not sure if it's smart to use this option. Since the footage I shot is only 50fps (I think variable 12.5 - 25 fps might be a better option)

    Also for some reason it keep changing to the variable frame rate to (30 fps min / 60 fps max) setting. What's that about?

    So, anyone out there, who can say something smart about using a variable frame rate?
