Hi I have a .mov file taken on a mobile phone which I want to edit. The problem is that it's in portrait and not landscape, i.e. you have to turn the laptop on its side to watch it. How can I turn it 90 degrees anti-clockwise? Andy

1. Won't open with that release. 2. I already shared one of the files with the 'file' designation, here's the link again: VID_20230113_204952.mp4 Craig Brown_ - Google Drive

I've reinstalled it again, v 13.21, and they're still not opening, including the one I supplied the link for. Is it anything to do with the fact that I am using the Demo version? I used to pay but haven't been billed in a long time. Well the answer my question was NO. I just re-subscribed, entered my registration code etc and still they're not opening. I really need this tomorrow (Saturday!)

OK I've done all that. I think the problem is something to do with the type of file. Looking at the properties of my video clips, those described as MP4 files will open, no problem. Some of the clips won't open. These one are just described as "File" even though they were shot using the same equipment and have the file name e.g. "VID_20230113-220329.mp4" To find these files in the VP browser I have to change the default "Common Media Files" to "All files". If they're not MP4 files, what are they and how can I open them?

The first suggestion didn't work so I'm trying the second, deleting the files in those two folders. I've deleted the files in the first one, but in "C:\Users\ I'm not seeing PC name. It's giving me a choice of "Public" or "user". Clicking "user" I'm not seeing AppData etc. The program won't open at all now.

OK I've installed that latest version but still getting the same message and the clip won't open...

Thanks. Here's a sample https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HuGjITkCtW1v0hmRfvehX-3XIYxKK1UY/view?usp=share_link

Title says it all: every time I try to open an MP4 file in VideoPad I get the error message "Failed to load file". What am I doing wrong?

Thanks! Where do I find the timeline?

Wow, thanks!! I really appreciate that - but I'm still trying to figure out how to do it! I've saved that and now I'll start the process again and see if I can work it out.

OK I've messaged the link to you. The section of Video no 2 to be dropped in is from 02.05 to 02.36. Really appreciate your help.

I click the chevron, then Video Tracks. This brings up Split Video Track 1 and Split Video Track 2 but neither is in bold and neither responds to being clicked!

Right, I'm doing ok here, but got stuck again. I have the two video tracks lined up with the audio and locked. The guitar solo video is sitting above the main video. What I now want to do is have the main video playing until the solo comes along, slot the solo clip in, then return to the main video. I'm trying to follow the tutorial (below) for splitting/cutting clips but when I move the cursor to the right place and click it I don't get any scissors icon and anyhow in the tutorial everything is cut, not just the one video track: VideoPad Video Editing Tutorial | How to Cut or Split Video - Bing video Sorry but I really do need it spelled out! Thanks so much form your help this far, it's worked perfectly.

Hi Here's what I'm trying to do: I've recorded a song and mixed and mastered it. I've recorded two videos, one of me singing along to the song (with guitar) and one playing along with the guitar solo. I want to make a composite video slotting in the original audio. I've added the first video, stripped the audio off it, added the audio and matched them. I've added the second video but I can't figure out how to strip its audio and match it up to the substitute audio. Help needed there please. If and when I've achieved that, how do I slot the short clip playing the guitar solo? Thanks for your time Andy

Thanks borate, now I see!

Hi I'm wanting to export just the audio track of a video I recorded, so I can work on it with another program then re-import it. Can you help please? Andy

Great, thanks borate.

OK, Nat I don't think you'd seen my last reply when you sent your second last reply? But I understand it anyway. Following borate's comment and Nat's last one, it's behaving now and all going to plan so I'll report back when I'm done. Thanks both so much for your patience! All done and it works! Thanks again, great work. PS: Just one more thing before I leave you in peace... How do I set the end-point on the finished video so it doesn't continue running?

Thanks both. Right, I may be getting somewhere and may not need to share it to solve it. Using right-click on Image 1, Place on Sequence/Place on sequence at start, I got it at the start. I timed it: just under 6 seconds, looking promising. Right-clicking on Image 2, whether I ticked Place on Sequence at Cursor or Place on Sequence at Start, it moved Image 1 to second place instead of slotting in after it. Both just under 6 seconds though: good. I guess I could load them individually in reverse order. I'd like to move them en masse but although I loaded them into the bin in the order I wanted, they were automatically rearranged into alphabetical order of the Image title. Nearly there....?

Thanks for correcting the arithmetic Nationalsolo. I appreciate the help from you both. I changed the duration to 5.96 seconds. I just dragged my first image on to the timeline - it doesn't even line up with the beginning, not appearing until six seconds in. I really don't get this at all, so where do I go from here?

This should be a simple task but.... I have 53 images which I want to accompany an audio track timed at 5 mins 16 secs. I calculated that the duration of each image needs to be 5.85secs and I set this in Options, before starting the project. But no matter how many times I try dragging the images down to the video track, then just don't behave. Some hardly last a second, others 10 seconds. There's something I'm doing wrong with the way I'm adding them to the track, because visually they're not the same length, if that makes sense. I'm sure there's a quick answer - can someone please provide it? Thanks Andy

Hi, I'm new to this software. I've watched the tutorials but still can't find the answer to my simple question. I've added a number of still images which I want to run as a sequence and an audio track to accompany it. But, how do I make them end at the same time?
