Okay, Maybe it is a problem that developed in later versions. cause it appears to be working and I did what she suggested in that earlier post. How would one create a template?

Transparency is retained when using .apng. I'm using that for the intro on one of my series, but there is no way to add sound with out doing what NationalSolo suggested. He said something about saving the video separate. Borate had the idea of saving the file and just importing. I just tried that. I'm not really editing that video yet, but I started it. It creates a second story board which took me 2 seconds, I just have to remember that this will always have to be the very first thing I do, or I will have to reformat the intro every time and that is the kind of frustration I want to avoid. I was looking for something that I can just drop in every video from now on. every solution we have come up with isn't that easy.

Yeah I think you see my problem but with another option that will work pretty well using a .apng and a saved music file. hopefully it works really well going forward.

I previously didn't quite get the intro to the level I wanted, what was the point if I can't export it, so I just finished it up and uploaded it here: Video Pad Help Folder. For some reason I didn't think of cutting the music where I want it and exporting it separately and using a .apng like Nationalsolo suggested, would definitely be easier that what I did in the last video and look more like what I want. I think I would prefer the chromakey thing, though is that something that was available in version 5? I want to upgrade the software but I built this computer around the idea of video editing less than a year ago, and I'm trying to make due with the software I already own. It is on my list of things but with this exception, it has done what I need it to do. scrubbing is a little difficult, way too difficult on my old PC but I just found a setting last night, at 1am when trying the thing mentioned in previous post, that allows me to set the memory for caching and I set that to a more appropriate level. Haven't worked with a big file yet but I'm sure scrubbing will be 100x better as 1gb vs 16gb when my pc has 32 to work with should be enormous. I digress, you can see in the intro that if the video was transparent I would be able to have something going on in the 20 seconds, for sure the last 10 seconds. it is only a few seconds but people on YouTube are impatient and if I don't grab them they will leave. I have two other projects I worked on one for adding sound to the subscribe.mov that I could use randomly in videos and and intro for my Minecraft videos that I just exported as a .apng and have been using that for a few videos with no sound. Also being an avid cyclist and now having the ability to edit video effectively I plan to start something that has more to do with cycling.

Greetings, I started to make videos to post to the internet, close to 40 so far, using video pad v. 5.11. The software is great, it seems to have the functionality to make higher quality videos. I'm struggling right now however because I'm trying to make an intro and outro with logos and a few seconds of music. I'm struggling at the moment because in order for this to really work and be something I can just drop into every video I make from here on out I need the intro to have a transparent background. Was this something that was in v 5.11 or did that come later? I searched the forum and found: (Edit: forgot the link, can't re-find it but I tried a lot of things.) which got me out of bed when I was supposed to be going to sleep to see if I could utilize what I learned but I don't see anything. I also discovered a while back, several weeks ago, that I could export a .apng which is transparent but doesn't have sound. I see the ability to export .mov which supports transparency but I can't get it to become transparent and I'm stuck with a large ugly black box. I've found a few ways to get around this like adding a subscribe banner to the end of the intro and extending it from 10 to 20 seconds and then using a fad and overlapping the tracks. however I want something I can just drop in and go, not having to fiddle with adding the fade and overlapping tracks and stuff. Also I was wondering if there is a way to have a bin that is durable through projects so that I can add my time-lapse music intro etc and it will always be immediately available to me when I open a new project, but I can add a new topic for that if it doesn't get answered here.
