  1. My video's approximately a minute and a half in length, and it has a transition (Fade through white).

    When it's in the editor, the video plays fine. When it's been rendered, however, the part with the transition freezes. I've observed this bug in MP4 and AVI formats, and I was wondering if there's a way to work around this little predicament of mine. 

  2. Okay, so let’s say that I placed a video on my timeline. It was exactly at 1:10.000 when I initially made it, but when I opened it today, it was at 1:09.993.

    Has anyone had this happen to their projects?

    EDIT: Also after the video has been exported, sometimes, if not most times, the video seems to get displaced in terms of time. In my case, I had my subtitles show up at a precise moment in sync with what happens in the video, but in the exported MP4, this gets desynced. What could be the cause of this? Any help is appreciated.

  3. I was working on a project, saved it, and closed it to resume working later. When I reopened that project, the clips just blink as I scroll through the VideoFiles, and I can't select them. I've waited to see if they needed to load, but nothing seems to be working. Is anyone else having this issue, and if so, is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.

  4. No difference, as the Letterbox simply adds the black borders anyways. I'm just confused as to why one of my projects has this problem and the other doesn't. I've also done some tests, and it turns out that the black borders appear AFTER I insert my MP4 file into the timeline. My guess is that the images automatically transform their aspect ratio to match that of the MP4 file. How do I avoid this?

    Hi

    Your observations ARE correct, but in practice (and it's probably just a mathematical anomaly as regards the numerical value shown)) does it make any difference? The second and subsequent S/T follows the first cleanly and I can't see any reason to fiddle with the Show or Hide values . You have said that you require to show the ST one after the other and this does so...

    The stepping back by 0.001 ensure that this happens, so I don't thing it's a bug.

    With reference to format, you can set this to apply to all the S/T or just the selected ones.  Step back to the list for your selection or addition al S/T by clicking Text.  If you click Apply it fixes the list with your format settings and returns to the main VP edit window. 

    However if you return to the subtitles screen for further entries it seems that the Format has been reset so any S/T you positioned higher will have been moved back down again. I am pretty certain that this may be a bug. I can't think of a workaround apart from suggesting you complete all your subtitles then add your format and finally save an SSA file. Alternatively why not add each subtitle as a simple Add Text  ????

    The thing is, I need the subtitles to be accurate down to the thousandth because I use these as markers during my video. Just being off by a millisecond will throw everything off, since it’s a continuous thing. Version 4.99 (which I’ve been stuck with for the past 5 years or so) never had this issue. I guess I’ll just fix each one every time.

    And I see, I guess I’ll try that method for the text. Thank you, Nat! :) 

  6. I was working on several projects, and for each, I've added an image to use as my title cards. 

    Theoretically speaking, the title cards should be identical as they are using the exact same ones. However, in one of the projects, there are black borders at the sides. When I checked the image's property for each file, the aspect ratio was the same at 1920 x 1080. There aren't any effects being used either, as they are merely dropped into the timeline.

    What could be causing this discrepancy amongst the projects? Any help is appreciated. 

  7. I was working on a video earlier, and I've run into two main issues while I was adding the subtitles. 


    The first is the overlapping of new subtitles. What happened was, for example, I type something out, and its duration is from 0:00.000 to 0:03.000. And then I try to add another line right after it. When I do this, however, it automatically regresses by 0:00.001, meaning that the newly added subtitle begins at 0:02.999, thereby making me have to fix it for each line. I was wondering if this is a bug, and if there is a way to circumvent this minor inconvenience. 

    Another issue was that sometimes, the subtitles simply refuse to stay at their positions. This usually happens when I set the subtitles at say, Horizontal: 10 and Vertical: 10. The offset is reset whenever I click Apply and exit out, and no matter how many times I've tried to fix it, it just wouldn't budge. Is there something that I'm missing here?

  8. This is embarrassing, but I've not updated my software for over 5 years, and I found out that I'm still on v4.11. I figured it's about time to upgrade, but I've lost my original Gmail account which I used to purchase the software, and now I can't find the registration code. 

    Worst case scenario, I'm find with paying the full $70 for a completely brand new installation, but I figured I should try asking before I make my decision. Any suggestions as to what I could do to retrieve the original registration code?

     

  9. I've used the link that you posted, and it says that I'm using v8.99 now. From the looks of it, the files seem to be working fine, and I can hear the audio to the aforementioned clips. 

    I'm guessing that what I'm using right now is the trial version. Would I still be able to upload at the highest resolution possible, or must I purchase it anew? I've lost my original Gmail account, so I can't find my registration key code, and in turn, can't get the discount.
