G'day all, I've just put together a 15 minute slideshow using the free version of Photostage Slideshow Producer Pro v2.21. I decided to try before I buy. It didn't take long to learn to use the program and its functions. I really do like it and I was impressed enough to think that I would most likely purchase and use it as my primary slideshow maker. I'm not a complete newbie, I've been editing images and using several well known image editors for a number of years. But it was obvious even in the preview screen of Photostage that the images and the text overlays looked a little fuzzy and degraded. On fullscreen playback the image results range from disappointing to atrocious. The text and images are blurred with many just decernable pixelated areas. Several of my photographic images sizes that I used are 1900 X 1344 pixels at 72 DPI but most of them are 2048 X 1536pixels at 72 DPI. Can somebody tell me whats happening here? Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks, Terentius.

Relative newbie here. My slides have 4x3 aspect ratio, so exporting the slideshow at 1920 wide, the height should be 1440. However, when I try to set 1920x1440 as a custom resolution, PhotoStage says "Please enter a height that is no more than 1080." As PhotoStage export other aspect ratios with more than 1080 in height, this limitation seems arbitrary. Of course I can use 2560x1440 but this puts wide black bars on the sides. Of course, it's possible I'm missing some basic insight here.

I had always used mp4 because I thought it was the best and it is it's been known for it's quality thing is, for videopad preset "Youtube 480p" they put you on flv, why is that? is there a reasoning into why flv goes better with videos of this quality or something? I tried to do research but most people just tell you which one is the best and they didn't give enough specifications, so well, can someone explain it to me? I'll still be using mp4 until I get an answer

Hi guys As a result of some things mentioned in support responses over the last few days, I'm wondering if there is any link between preview rendering resolution and the final rendering time taken? If, for example, I preview in full HD, does VP still do exactly the same process for rendering the final HD video (exporting it)? In which case, are the different preview resolutions only there so that VP can generate the previews more quickly (along with any transitions)? Just wondering if this is something I can do to speed up export on 4.58 (whilst the new version which does use all available CPU when exporting and will be therefore quicker) is still being tested.

so i wanted to know if there is a way of exporting videos in 8K, it wont let me go up from 4k

Hello, I need to test the equipment at 220.125 Hz and 220.124 Hz. Will NCH generator be able to output such frequencies? Thanks

I currently use Open Broadcaster to record my screen for video projects. I have considered using the program available from NCH that allows screen recording but I really just want to figure out this one problem before moving on. When I record in OBS, save the file and open it in VideoPad for editing, the video suffers severe quality loss. I have researched this in the past and only one solution has worked so far considering all of the related topics I've found are two or more years old and so not up-to-date on the current version of VideoPad. The answer I found informed me that exporting as a Video File or to YouTube, I'd merely have to change the setting to YouTube 720 and something else; and though, the quality was considerably less fuzzy for the finalized project than during the editing process, it still was not the original quality I had after I recorded with OBS. I've tried uploading a short video (exactly 3 minutes) with YouTube 1080 and that took a very long time. Hours had gone by after upload that YouTube still was processing the video. I uploaded the same video with YouTube 720 and it worked perfectly. I'm wondering if there are settings that I can change in OBS to make the video file resolution better when I open it in VideoPad but I'm sure VideoPad is the source of the problem. How can I get the best quality with my screen recorded video? Much, Much Appreciated...

Hi, My previous version of videopad allowed you to select a custom snapshot resolution with x and y pixels being entered via options, media files tab. I can't find this setting in the current version. Anybody know?
