Suddenly Video Pad has very low resolution

[xucaen]

Today I recorded a video using Fraps. That video is 1080p. When I play it, it looks very nice. Now I import it into Video pad, video pad does its conversion as it always does, except now it converts it to extremely low 240P resolution. Why is it doing that? I have Video pad v3.0, fully registered. I looked through the settings and it seems OK. what am I missing? What went wrong with video pad? I want to edit and save my videos in 1080p. Please tell me how to fix it.

 

thanks,

Here, preview of a 1080p Mp4 clip was fairly low res. But when exported to 1080p/60f as an AVI it looked about the same as the original. Same for 30f/sec.

Have you viewed the export-to-file result of your clip?

The preview screens in VideoPad currently show your video at a resolution of 512x288 regardless of the actual video file's resolution. This is to make editing faster as rendering a 1080p video is quite expensive in terms of CPU time. Once you export the video, it will be at 1080p again (that is, if you choose to export at 1080p).

Have you considered leveraging OpenCL or CUDA to ease this restriction?

[ConnorBrendish]

We're looking in to using OpenGL shaders to make our video effects render more quickly. OpenCL / CUDA is unlikely at this stage as it has poor support on older systems running Windows XP or with older graphics hardware.
