Hi I'm using VideoPad 7.34 I found many post on this forum abount cropping issues, black bands and so on but I have not found a solution. My purpose is very simple: I want to crop a video (applying a crop rectangle static filter) and then export the video with that new size. I don't want to upscale, downscale, zoom, scretch to aspect, adapt to 16:9 or optimazing it for youtube. When I apply a crop filter the "Auto match content" feature always detect the original size and not the new cropped size. It's possible to reach this goal without use another processing tool? Thank you Matteo

I exported my slideshow in Mp4 format only to see that the original colors of all slides have changed when I view it with Widows Film & TV. What went wrong? Help!

I'm trying to export an MP4 using VideoPad 8.18, but the Export Queue is stuck at Preparing Export and does not progress passed 0.0%. My specs are: Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 7200 Eight-core processor 3.20 GHz Installed RAM - 16 GB 64-bit operating system I've tried exporting this video a few times letting it run for a couple of hours each time, but it never makes any progress. The MP4 file size remains at 164 bytes. Send help.

I am reviewing a video documentary to send comments to the video editor. I have bookmarked certain places in the video. Now I would like to send the text of the bookmarks with corresponding timelines to the editor. I do not wish to make a DVD. I need to email my comments. Or export as a soft copy. Urgent please help

When I updated my Videopad to the most recent version, whenever I export a video, it causes the video to flash between various clips when there is a cut. I changed the setting of the exports, but it does not seem to help. How do I fix this?

The user interface to VideoPad needs serious improvement. Considering my time learning the software, the subscription costs for this and other NCH products, and the project files and video products I've created, I'm beginning to wonder if this tool represents my real world example of the "sunk cost fallacy".

I'm new to MixPad but a long time user of WavePad Every time I export a project, the resulting .wav or .mp3 is a whole tone lower. Extremely annoying. Anyone can shed light? Thank you George

Basically my export video does not look like the exported version. My video has 3 video tracks and 2 audio tracks. The eye icon is ok and all are visible for output. In preview all looks perfect. When I export the video file in HD 1080p to my laptop the video looks great except my video track 1. It contains a video that repeats itself 9 times (each clip is saved under its own name). It is used as a background (behind) video track 2 because some of my videos on track 2 were shot horizontally. The background video shows up in the export version only for the 1st clip....the other 8 don't show up. In the preview mode they all show up just fine. I have exhausted all my solution ideas and I need help. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am presenting this video in 4 days. I have Video Pad professional v 7.11. I paid for this software.

i read about this problem going back a few years, it's time the crew stops thinking about selling and fix what their customers paid for Win 10, videopad 7.05 playback of screen capture, that auto creates mp4 file, plays perfectly in sync with settings of: baseline - 1920x1080 output scaled resolution - 1280x720 fps - 30 constant 30 min or 1.5 hr recording if a screen capture for @ 1 hr (+) is recorded and put into videopad to render into 2 parts each clip plays perfectly in videopad sequence preview but audio/video is way out of sync after export to mp4 file with settings of: preset - custom resolution - 1280x720 -720p constant 30fps est file size - 941mb when problem export is put back into videopad sequence preview plays it in sync please help, marty

I recently recorded a video that I plan to upload to youtube (And I'm very sorry if I'm in the wrong forum) I used VideoPad to edit, and after every day, I would export my project as an mp4 so I would have a backup in case the project decided not to work. But once I was finally finished editing and I wanted to export it for the last time, it wouldn't let me. Instead, it said that I had to buy Videopad. When I first downloaded it, though, it said that it was free, and some elements cost money. But when I had exported my video before, it had never said that eventually I'd have to pay for it. Is there a way to export my video in the free version, or will I have to buy Videopad?

Hello! I am new to film editing. I created a microfilm with many clips (about 15-20) in a two minute window, on the same video stream, with three different audio threads. I've repeatedly tried to export to Vimeo but two mini clips (about 3 seconds long each) are lost and are important to the narrative flow. I've played around with format numbers when exporting, but each time those two clips are lost, and sometimes there is a delay or freeze. Is there a recommended format scale for exporting a microfilm with many mini-clips to Vimeo? Thanks.

I have been working on a project for a few weekends now, just a little skit thing for fun. It's 13 minutes in total, 8-tracks of video and 3 audio. I have no problem playing it in VideoPad, and I have not deleted any clips or anything, the project is intact in VideoPad - but when I export it (and I have tried MP4, MPG, and none have worked in Windows Media Player or VLC) random parts are blacked out. No video in these parts, but audio all throughout. Is there any way to fix this? It's very frustrating, especially as I've never encountered this problem with any of my other projects.

I'm creating my first Photo Essay for a competition at my camera club. Unfortunately, they have not provided much detail on the dimensions for submitting the video. The clubs standard size for still image competitions submissions is 1920x1080. My thoughts/questions are: I think I should export my still images, to be loaded into PhotoStage, in 1920x1080. Will this size be respected in PhotoStage or will it be downsized? I am thinking I should export 1920x1080 HD as the judges will be reviewing them on their own computers. Is this a correct assumption? Export as MP4. Is there a better/common type that does not use compression? I have no idea what to choose for frame rate? Default seems to be Variable 14.985 to 29.970. Is this something I need to play with based on aspects like transitions? Thanks for any pointers. I use LightRoom for my images.

I am starting with a CONSTANT Frame Rate video...I have tried many different Export settings (always choosing a CONSTANT option), as well as Lossless... Every single time I get a VARIABLE Frame Rate video after conversion. I appreciate any advice or insight as to why this is happening.

I am so glad I didn't pay for this after the trial before figuring out this huge flaw that renders the program almost unusable. It's surreal and unbelievable to not have the cropped area become what will be exported at the end. Don't put bars around it, don't stretch it, don't force any specific aspect ratio onto it. All the workarounds here are ridiculous and too impractical. And Zoom is NOT the same, as it keep the original resolution. If I have a 4K horizontal video and just want to crop out a 320p vertical area, I don't want that to stay 4K resolution, and I don't want to measure how large the crop has become and enter those values somewhere manually. This is not a missing feature, this is minimal core behavior of how a video editor should work. Might as well try to sell a bicycle that can't steer and then have long forum discussions about how people just have to lean to a side and use their feet on the ground to change direction.

Dear Forum, I'm using the latest free (unregistered) version of VideoPad 8.67. My problem does not seem uncommon: I'm making a video clip of short videos over a soundtrack, and export is either blank or garbled. Also non-deterministic (e.g. add a few effects and the exported scene starts appearing / stops appearing / stutters). Have been searching and reading dozens of similar forum posts about video exporting going wrong. So here are all the things I've read and tried - none helped: Export in a plethora of containers (MP4, AVI, MPG, MOV, MKV, OGV, WMV) and codecs (H.264, H.265, MPEG4, MPEG2, MPEG1, Huffyuv, VP8, VP9, Theora, WMV8, WMV9) Export in a large amount of combinations of resolutions, bitrates, refresh rates, including crazy large and crazy small Export lossy as well as lossless (each with its own strange / arbitrary result). In the current final state of the project, lossless refuses to be exported altogether. Install the latest k-lite codec pack Clear software cache Uninstall and re-install Restart machine I've noticed more than one of the posters like me received a response such as: "Interesting. The project you uploaded exported well on my machine." I suspect the truth is simple: This software, while *absolutely incredible* in terms of features and ease of use, and for which I am VERY grateful for being free for non-commercial use (it is a one-time project for my father's 70th birthday ), simply does not support or is only partially tested for many machine combinations - OS's, CPUs, GPUs, memory sizes, HDDs / SSDs etc. And frankly.. quite buggy as well (I can try to help with some bug reports, but not in this post). Some of my machine's specs, if they help: Core i7-2600k 8 GB RAM Windows 7 Ultimate x64, SP1 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Intel HD Graphics 3000 as secondary, used together with Virtu.. used to be a thing , mentioning in case this could be an issue) VideoPad as well as the project are on my HDD. My main drive is an SSD, but it's quite full. If you have reason to believe this could make a difference I can install VideoPad and/or the project there. I understand the next step would be to save my project as a "Compact Project", upload it online and link it here, so here is the link: https://tsemer.stackstorage.com/s/xF9RdLvimmwBVLRP Any help at all would be appreciated! And if for you, dear helper, the file simply exports as expected on MP4, H.264 (or H.265), 1080p, 30FPS, using default video and audio quality - could I trouble you to upload your export to the same folder? Just PM me and I will temporarily open the folder for upload (unfortunately leaving this folder unprotected is inviting all sorts of trouble). I've placed in the folder an exported MP4 / H.264 version of the project as well, to demonstrate the issue. Most of the video portion is blank, in the middle starts again, then stutters and blanks out again. Thanks so much in advance! My father's birthday is two days from now ;D Cheers -Ohad

I made a 2:43 min video for a class project, but when I've tried exporting the video ends up only 16 seconds long. It doesn't matter what type of exporting format I try, it's always 16 seconds long. I'm baffled, anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

I created a slideshow (with audio) without any transitions between slides. Playing the slideshow within PhotoStage works fine (no transitions between slides). I then exported it to YouTube. When I played back on YouTube, a fade transition has been added between each slide. How do I prevent this from happening? Thank you.

Ich habe auf meinem DJ Controller einen Mix aus 24 Songs erstellt. Den Mix habe ich in MixPad geladen und nur final etwas abgemischt. Nun möchte ich den Mix exportieren, allerdings als einzelne Audiodateien. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit in MixPad, entsprechende Trackmarks zu setzen, sodass der Export dann in 24 einzelne Dateien erfolgt? Ich habe das früher in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 respektive Cakewalk Sonar gemacht, in MixPad finde ich eine solche Funktion nicht. Für jedweden Kommentar oder Hinweis bin ich dankbar. Beste Grüße Frank

Hi all, I have been a Videopad user for about 2 years and although I have had quite a few bugs, have never come across something so confusing. Every time I try to export this particular video the audio is perfect, but the video appears extremely out of sync and is even including parts of the cut down footage that aren't in the sequence!? I am currently using version 7.30 and would upgrade if it wasn't for having to pay again. Can someone please help, I have tried exporting in multiple formats, resolution and fps, researched online but nothing. Thanks in advance, Alex

My Videopad export tends to produce a green stripe on the right side of the video. Has anyone ever had this issue? Any ideas?

Hello! I'm looking for a way to export a video through VideoPad with an alpha channel layer in it's background? I understand the only two formats capable of this are .FLV and .MOV being as they're the only ones that can play in QuickTime player, but it doesn't seem that VideoPad Editor gives me the option! In a more specific context to my situation, I'd like to arrange an overlay to my video that plays in 10 fps, and have a background that plays in 30 fps. I don't necessarily prefer using the "Change Clip Speed" option, because it also adds a very strange and unwanted blurry transition between each slowed frame. If anybody knows of any solutions such as a frame-limit VirtualDub plugin or other means, please let me know! Thanks! VM

Videopad exporter will keep completing the export at 100% and only half of the project is the result. Why videopad in such a bad shape!! I have never encountered these problem in the free version. Is there a fixed version that I do not know about?

I want to export my project to audio. i tried both .wav and mp3 and both times the converted file was cut off before the end of the project (it works fine in MixPad. I can't understand it please help thanks
