Watched and liked. If you see 1 like that's me.

Your generation is called the greatest generation and I think it's well deserved.

Yup, I've used pinnacle studio from 9 to 15, then moved to videopad. Tried out openshot, shotcut and vsdc (even paid for it but got refund due to unable to use hardware acceleration) also, but stuck with videopad. After upgrading my computer, I also used Premiere Pro, and tried out Filmora Wondershare, Videoproc Vlogger. In the end, I return to videopad which I enjoy the most. It has some issues that I'm helping the maker to solve right now, but I enjoy using it the most. I'm not a healthy person since 10 years old, got immune system disease, so a limited lifespan. Anyway, keep up your good work, and thanks for being with us!

You got my respect, really. I dun think I can live to 92 at all, and if I ever do, would not be in shape to learn about new video editor.

Tried just click on the clip, hold the click and move it around? If you want to move multiple clips you may press ctrl while clicking the clips

Could be. dunno when and how. Replaced with newly downloaded explosion3 from NCH library and it's ok now.

I solved this one by re-downloading the sound effect from NCH library. But it shouldn't have taken place in the beginning. On mine, before I fixed it, it was like this: http://www.rsw.com.hk/flat-line.jpg

Yes, look the same situation.

Yes, runnable on win 11.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nfzTg8uu6QX9A0XqocVW_KbUqffhTu1_?usp=sharing Sequence 1, explosion3.wav, the file become totally silenced in the media bin view and sequence, while if you play the file itself it's not silent at all.

I typed in Chinese and it takes me to press enter to actually update the text on screen. If I end the editing without pressing enter, all my changes would be lost. English is updated on screen in real time.

some night scenes were so like Hong Kong. ok, i have confirmed that the night scene is hong kong indeed. im facing the same scene right now to confirm.

Yup, wish VP can add more options for us who're more tech-savvy.

Currently there's no key frame options in VP yet. You may file a suggestion I guess. I'm happy to see more users care about these options. https://www.nch.com.au/suggestions/index.html?software=VideoPad&version=13.21

yup, as you know I even tried uninstall and reinstall with the same result.

Tried, same result for me, blurry preview in HD preview.

At least not on my VP. http://www.rsw.com.hk/hd-preview-1.jpgHD preview of the introhttp://www.rsw.com.hk/actual-export.jpgActual export.

my VP failed to load this H265 video, while PrPro can. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ka1Jtrx3Csue-mg3gN7b8sIdKHE36-k7/view?usp=sharing KMPlayer showing following info of this media: Video ID : 1 Format : HEVC Format/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Format profile : Main@L5.1@Main Codec ID : hvc1 Codec ID/Info : High Efficiency Video Coding Duration : 5 min 6 s Source duration : 5 min 6 s Bit rate : 28.0 Mb/s Width : 3 840 pixels Height : 2 160 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Rotation : 90° Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 30.000 FPS Minimum frame rate : 15.015 FPS Maximum frame rate : 30.040 FPS Standard : PAL Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.112 Stream size : 1.00 GiB (99%) Source stream size : 1.00 GiB (99%) Title : VideoHandle Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2023-03-16 08:24:34 Tagged date : UTC 2023-03-16 08:24:34 Color range : Limited Color primaries : BT.709 Transfer characteristics : BT.709 Matrix coefficients : BT.709 mdhd_Duration : 306947 Audio ID : 2 Format : AAC Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Format profile : LC Codec ID : 40 Duration : 5 min 6 s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 256 kb/s Channel(s) : 2 channels Channel positions : Front: L R Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Frame rate : 46.875 FPS (1024 SPF) Compression mode : Lossy Stream size : 9.37 MiB (1%) Title : SoundHandle Language : English Encoded date : UTC 2023-03-16 08:24:34 Tagged date : UTC 2023-03-16 08:24:34 I recorded with my samsung A71, at UHD 30fps setting. The other 2 files from the same settings were loaded normally by VP. Just this one has problem. No setting difference among the 3.

I thought during the export, only the the things getting processed at that moment matters. Like when dealing with the footage section, only the overlay, the color adjustment and the footage itself should be processed. Those intro, fades, overlay at first were already in "past tense" and should not affect what comes after. At least in other editors it was the case. The export speed was affected by how many things it has to process at that "instance", no lingering effect from the frames long before.

Hmmm so unused image and audio files would affect export speed too?

The test project I provided yesterday has an overlay at the lower right corner actually, just like the actual full project. No difference in the content at all on the footage section. So I expect that same speed of the test project on the full project in the portion where it does the exact same things. The test project took 18 secs only here, which is a huge difference with the full project's footage section. I'm going to give 1 more try. This time by using the full project, but copying the footage and overlay to a new sequence, putting on the timeline's beginning and see how it goes. It took 22 secs, close to the test project's speed. So there must be something wrong with the full project's sequence. Something invisible that causes the slow down.

The small images in video track 1 is because of he collapsed track 1 by clicking on the triangle icon on the left hand side of track one. You can expand the track by clicking on the triangle again.

With intro removed, mine take 58 secs. Yes, consistent with your result. Just couldn't get back to our "test project" speed yet. Ideally, when the export gets to the footage part, it should be as fast as our test where only footage, color adjustment and overlay exist. It was damn fast. Strange, hope c_major will take a look into this.

I experimented around for hours today, like deleting parts of the intro, or even out-tro, to see if it affects the speed. The only thing that really makes a consistent difference is where the actual footage part is located. If I move the footage part to the absolute beginning of the timeline, starting with the footage first, it will be exported fast like our "test project" runs. So maybe this is something the developers can take a look into.

That full project sequence 3 takes 1:12 here. So yeah, that's a drop in speed from 20 secs to over 1 min, with the same video portion. :|
