Of course I'm just guessing, but you don't necessarily have a problem. When I'm loading file sizes in the gigabyte range, then they just take a long time to load. As in time to go get a coffee refill, and still not done. This is on my machine with a 3.2gig, tri-core processor, and 3.25gig memory (the most 32-bit Windows can use).

 

I'm not on the VideoPad staff, but it's obvious that VideoPad does a lot of pre-processing when you load a video. It has to do this so you'll get immediate results when you move the time slider, or otherwise edit.

 

A quick Google shows that Fraps is not famous for outputting small file sizes. You might look around YouTube for how to make your Fraps files smaller.

i haven't had any problems in-porting to videopad but i dont use fraps i use Bandicam loads fast at lest for me it dose but the file is smaller then that of fraps

Wait a minute. I was just loading a video myself and had another thought, still along the "you might not really have a problem" line.

 

If you're talking about the traveling blue bar, I think it sometimes get stuck...or whatever exactly happens. But as far as I can tell, when all the thumbnails appear on the timeline, then the clip is loaded.

 

So I just ahead and do what I have in mind to do. This seems to jog the blue bar and things proceed as planned..though I'm pretty much just giving you guesswork here.

I agree with Picbuck's response. Loading a 20 Minute video file takes a long time, the first time it is loaded. After saving the project file, VideoPad will reload that project within seconds.

 

Using normal PCs for video editing, is a good exercise in patience development. It also will make you buy high performance computers on your next PC purchase. I suggest you read the webpage at the following URL which lists typical PC system requirements for video editing.
