Is OPTIONS | EDITING tab 'normalize external' enabled or not?  What happens when it's changed to the opposite of what it is now?

Enabled already, not changed at all from the previous version but the wave form shows difference. I can take some screenshots for you to see.

Changing the setting does not bring any difference. 

11.8 also has a problem of not normalizing some sound clips. Some sound clips become very low volume. I reverted to 11.73 and things were ok once more.

A sword review done with videopad, took 2 exports to get the render right though.

Another one that I just finished. 

I even forgot what video was it. :| Since I have limited google space I reuse the folder once you looked at the issue.

man I'm about to give up.  No matter what effects I give it it couldn't playback right.

I had to re encode the video to make it work.

i didn't have it saved since it was so short. 

counter should have started here:

and stop here:
http://www.rsw.com.hk/counter-stop.jpg

So it was 0.15sec earlier than intended.

happens again. if you go frame by frame you can see the counter started and stopped early.

I was doing time counting for students' technique and the exported version doesn't match my editor version. The counters both started earlier and stopped earlier than in my editing mode, out of sync with the action.

Different.

in this video there's a grey frame near the beginning where I was about to cut. You can see how often it shows up between projects. https://content.invisioncic.com/r33241/emoticons/default_sad.png

I didn't keep the project of this one, but it happens from time to time, randomly. More in the editor's preview, less so in the export, but happens. 

Yes, your export is better than my export.

Video is here. The grey frame is around the end of the video. 

I think I mentioned this before but it keeps occurring so I'm raising this again. Sometimes there'll be a grey frame in the video.

11.69. but the issues happens in 11.32 and .48 too. I put the images on. One of the images needed is a magneta arrow from NCH library.

The project file is included. You can find that the export file has frozen up during effects and cuts, which was not how the preview was played. Also, I could not use taking snapshot to take the precise frame of the video in the editor, and had to resort to using another screen capture program to do those snapshots.

The effects not coming up frame precise had been a repeating things for me in the projects before. I just didn't bother reporting until now. 

Isn't it strange then? The original video bitrate for the 18 mins one is 5.8kbps. With lossless export it shouldn't become 1.115kbps.

There are 2 videos inside. You can see that one only got 1kbps around made by 11.69 while the other was correctly exported. The corrected one was made by 11.32. 

My original video was around 6kbps and using lossless export after some editing, it made something around 1kbps.

The monitoring app is called resmon.exe in win 10 indeed.

X264enc7 only shows up when you export in h264. It was the encoder program of VP. If you export in h265, it will be x265enc3.exe that shows up. They're located in NCH software->components folder.

It shows in this video. Back then I was looking only at CPU usage, not the thread (the number in front of CPU usage). Now after I discovered the difference, this video also shows the same thing. The slow exporting of x264enc7.exe uses only 1 thread while the normal speed one uses 16 threads. 

1. goto windows search on the windows button and look for "perfmon.exe".
2. start it, you get "performance monitor". In the CPU windows, click the sorting to CPU usage. So once the export starts, you'll see the x264enc7.exe shows up.
3. Run videopad, export a video in h264 format.
4. look for x264enc7.exe in the CPU windows in performance monitor.

5. it'll show how much CPU and how many threads the encoder is using. If normal, it uses 16 threads. However, in my case the slow versions will use only 1 thread. 

Win 7 perfmon.exe

Videopad.exe is always multi-threaded, and a lot threads. What I meant was the encoder x264enc7.exe. Normally it is also multi threaded but when it's slow, it's only single threaded. 

I did a test with the latest beta 11.64 and the 11.32 in exporting to h264 and found out besides the speed difference I mentioned before, there's also one huge difference that may causes the problem. 

With the versions that're slow in exporting in h264, the export program only use 1 thread!

While the versions that're fast in exporting in h264, the export program uses 16 threads!
