The normalization automatically applied to an audio file in VP, does not sound as a simple peak normalization, but rather like a loudness normalization because the overall file sounds as if it had more volume. Maybe some effects are applied like compression as well. Can you tell what kind of normalization is applied ? And what Peak normalization would be best according to you, to apply to the file before importing in VP ?

Hello to all, is there any way to normalize LUFS level of the video exported by Videopad ? Or does NCH have a tool able to easily normalize LUFS level of a video ?

Thank you for the answer. Yes, I learned what you show. Playing with aditionnal tracks allow to do what I wanted. Fadings are a type of tansition. The only thing I have still to learn to have the rendering I wish, is to be able to align perfectly multiple images when overlayed on the main video. I mean postionning them (up down, right, left) according to the borders of the screen. I don't know yet if there is a possibility to do that precisely. So far it is approximative.

Even if I upload lossless videos at 1080/HD the result on Youtube is always downgraded. I have never used the Youtube section of the software, because I prepare the videos not being connected to Youtube. Are settings applied for an HD video uploaded to Youtube via the software, different from a video exported in lossless format or HD format to the PC ?

My tests were done with the largest files (images) I have and I realized the biggest was 42 Mb, this is far too much to be edited easily. So reducing the size of images also helps. 5 or 6 Mo files are correctly treated which is wonderful.

My processor is : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50 GHz, and RAM is only 6 Go. That should be too low capacities I assume.

I still have an issue with 10.88 : there is an enormous latentcy in displaying the images. Sometimes it is so important that it is impossible to run the clip I want to change in the window. For some clips I cannot edit the effects at all. And the overall playing completely misses some clips. Maybe my PC is not powerful enough. Is there a trick or a way to downgrade the resolution of the images and clips, so that these issues disappear ? The only solution I am thinking now is to export a complete project in version 5, and export the final video with version 10.

I have tested the lastest version again, and it is a nightmare to me. When the export does work, I don't have the problem I have with version 5 for the transitions. But EVERY export attempt finishes to be interpreted as a lossless attempt, as I get whatever I choose, the message "does not meet the requirements for lossless..." (even if I try the lowest resolution). I succeeded in exporting a sequence and 5 minutes after, the EXACT SAME sequence is not exported anymore, and leads to the message above. I don't understand. The sequence is exactly the same, and the path to export is also the same... -0-0- What is encouraging is that now I just verified that the last english version (10.88) does export correctly, where the french one (10.64) is not able to do it. I still have to do some tests and configurations but the english version should meet all expectations I have 😉

Yesterday I tried latest version and I had issues while exporting as soon as transitions were involved. Whatever export I choose was followed by an alert "not suitable for no loss export" even if I tried low resolutions. I also did not have the "automatic detection" button or function when exporting. I had to uninstall it and reinstall version 5 for which I have the code as I bought it.

Thank you for the answer. I have done a lot of tests, and I will export projects that show the issue. I bought version 5 in 2017. If an upgrade is able to correct this issue, I would be ready to buy it, but I have to be sure I will be able to obtain exactly what I want. By "stopped image" mode I mean the first of the 2 modes proposed when applying transitions. I use the french version. In french it is called "arrêt d'image", it is the mode where clips don't move in the timeline.

Hello to all, I have an annoying issue with transitions, being between 2 videos or a video and a fixed image. I wish to insert an image or video, but avoiding desync/shifting with the main video and its audio (present before and after insertions). If I choose the mode "stopped image" (arrêt d'image in french) for the transition, the new/next image appears and then DISAPPEAR before finally reappearing. Transition is not constant and is not correct. This happens in the final exported video, not in the window of the app where everything looks correct. If I have 2 consecutive videos, the problem is similar : the new one appears, the fading transition operates, but then, after its completion the OLD video reappears for about 1 second.I know I could simply superpose new images on the main video in an additional video/image line, but in this case the visual of the main video, on background, does not disappear which is what I want. Any solution for me ? If I choose the mode "moving the clips" for the transition, as far as I tested, the "reappearing problem" is solved, but then there is desync with the main video and its audio... Thank you for your help ! Richard
