RJ Burke Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 When trying to work on a piece of video in VideoPad, the Start button starts the player OK, but the Stop button simply causes the video to reverse. It doesn't stop. So while It'm trying to manipulate the video segments, they're either running forward or backward, or resting at the beginning of the segment, which makes it impossible to use. I've looked everywhere for a switch to control the Stop/Start behavior, but I'm stumped. Can anyone offer advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Version 3.29 doesn't do that here. Repeatedly clicking the right-facing arrow under the preview window, or depressing the spacebar, toggles start/pause. No reverse. Specifically, what START and STOP buttons are you pressing?

RJ Burke Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Specifically, what START and STOP buttons are you pressing? In the "Clip Preview" & "Sequence Preview" windows there are standard large start/stop buttons under each window. Pressing the triangle button starts the player, and pressing the vertical-bar button should stop the player, except that it reverses the playback instead of stopping. The reverse function is pretty well useless for anything AFAICS, and I'd really like to be able to stop the player at any point. Except for this quirk, VideoPad looks like it could be very useful.

borate Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Just checked it again - in both the clip and preview windows - and it performs as it should. Click the triangle: STOP. Click the II pause (which replaces the triangle): RESUME. I have never seen the behavior that you describe. I see no STOP button here in version 3.29. The only playback control is a single button - which toggles between the triangle and the pause function. What version are you using? What happens when the spacebar is repeatedly pressed?

RJ Burke Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Mine is v3.29. Sorry about referring to the "Pause" button as a "Stop" button. I was focusing on the strange behavior rather than the correct term. Pressing the space bar produces the same behavior as clicking on the Play/Pause button. I notice also that when I pause the Clip Preview, it starts reversing, but it also starts the Sequence Preview player at the same time. Now the Clip Preview is reversing, but the Sequence Preview is playing forward. Is this correct behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 It is not. Try a reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ Burke Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 The first reinstall tried was a "repair", but nothing changed; the result was identical. Next I completely deleted all traces of the previous download & install and downloaded a fresh copy. This time it's working correctly, and I can insert clips into a sequence OK. I've got other "how-to" questions, but I'll start them in a separate thread.Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
