deadby100cuts Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ok I got the program today and started to use it. I FINALLY after fighting with it all day got my video finished. I wrote/recorded a song and made the audio of it, mixed it and stuff, then uploaded the finished song into Videopad and put the video to it. I got everything worked out, the lips synced up, all good, Then I export it. ITS HORRIBLE, I mean its BAD, its almost as if the video itself is playing slower than it did in the preview and thats causing it to be off. I don't know, but this is a mess and I can't figure out how to fix it so the output doesn't screw the video over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Video editing is resource intensive, so this fault could relate to the capabilities of your PC - which you don't mention. Try different EXPORT formats. Did you export to DVD or to a file on the PC? Are both results the same? Under OPTIONS|EXPORTS try the "enable lossless video exporting" option, by checking the box.

c_major Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi, Another user reported the same issue in this post: http://nch.invisionz...nc-please-help/ I've tried a few times myself and couldn't reproduce the problem. Is it possible to share the project files to us for examination? Please PM me if you don't want the files go public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_major Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 To pack project files into one file: Open the project in VideoPad. From main menu, choose File->Backup Project Files To Folder. It will copy all files including the project (.vjp) file into your specified folder. Zip the folder into a file. You can share it on DropBox and PM me the link. Thanks.

c_major Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi, If there are too much trouble to upload the project please don't spend too much time on it, that's fine. I tried these steps to reproduce the problem: Unlink the audio from video. Save it as a separated sound file. Change the sound file to a different of sample rate and even a different format. Import the sound file in, align it up with the video. Export the project. Aligning (lip syncing) the audio with the video was difficult, we should do something to make it easier. However I couldn't find any sync. issue and there is no difference compare the exported clip to the sequence preview. Am I missing something here?

Nationalsolo Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi c-major Synching to the visuals is not particularly easy with VP at present. I have just tried to match a piano part (mp3) to a violin solo What I needed to do (with version 3.89) was to grab the piano Audio track (on audio Track 2) and drag it left or right to match with the violin sound track. However each time the audio was moved (with the Ctrl key), the wave form on the track being moved disappeared leaving a line with no particular peaks visible which meant one had to guess the movement and made the adjustment somewhat hit and miss. In earlier versions one could grab the waveform peak and pretty well match it to the waveform peak on the upper track. Is this losing the audio wave line when moving the track normal now?

c_major Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi Nat, Was the exported result from v3.89 is same as the preview or out of sync? However each time the audio was moved (with the Ctrl key), the wave form on the track being moved disappeared leaving a line with no particular peaks visible which meant one had to guess the movement and made the adjustment somewhat hit and miss. Could you please upload a screen shot? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hi c-major The exported avi was fine. I export from 3.79 as version 3.89 has this option inactivated for me, but I am using it for evaluation. The editing in version 3.79 was as expected...I could grab the audio track and drag it into synch with the audio of the main clip, and although it didn't move along with the cursor, it remained visible and the same size. It moved to the cursor position when released. So it was OK. In version 3.89, clicking the soundtrack to grab it reduced it virtually to a line, so removing the peak which had been grabbed. (looked like it was instantly zoomed in to a different point in the track) Although you could drag it (apparently) it was not particularly accurate. Also the red cursor line jumped about. (Which may have been due to the fact that both tracks had their speed altered a few percent to make them absolutely the same duration. Here are two screenshots from 3.89. The first is the normal soundtrack with piano chords on Audio Track 2 visible before clicking and the second shot is the appearence when one of the peaks is clicked prior to dragging . Although the cursor is not shown, this is the Audio track appearence when the track is clicked for grabbhing. The peaks have disappeared...

LolaRose Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have the same issue with exported files being totally out of sync, it's very frustrating. I also do not seem to have the option of 'enable lossless video exporting' (it reckons I have v3.72 on my Help/About Videopad). I have Windows 7 on my laptop. And videopad won't let me put it in one file by File->Backup Project Files To Folder (It comes up with a message saying the jpeg has failed, the video has failed, the sound file has failed etc so won't do it) When I originally created the video, I unlinked the original sound from the video, removed it, and added the recorded mixed sound file and spent ages aligning it to sync. I export it (have tried exporting to a variety of formats) and every time it goes from perfect sync on videopad to being out of sync on the exported file.

micheal0424 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I am using version 3.89 and am having the same issue with the audio/video matching perfectly before I export it. I have tried various formats and ways to export the video but it always ends up where the audio/video don't match up. I even tried the enable lossless option and it doesn't help. What can be done to correct this issue I am having? I tried another video editing software I purchased before purchasing VideoPad and it worked fine, the audio/video is a perfect match before and after exporting. What needs to be done to make the VideoPad Editor work? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_major Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It was a bug and has been fixed since users reported it. Please upgrade your VideoPad to the latest version (v4.00). Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoebill Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi. I'm having a similar problem. I'm trying to cut very precise parts out of a video (less than half a second) so that I can reorganise them. There's no audio, so being in sync with that is no problem. I've unlinked and deleted audio. In the preview window I edit the clip down perfectly using the timer to exactly where I want it to start and finish, then I export it, and the exported video file is of a different part of the original file. Not far off in time (maybe half a second off), but totally the wrong part of the video. I've updated to pro version 4.0, tried the lossless option, tried different export formats and my computer isn't too bad. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas?

c_major Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi Shoebill, You problem seems different from a sync issue. Have you used reversed clip speed? There is a know issue for reversed(negative speed) clips and will be fixed. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoebill Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hi c-major - Sorry, I didn't realise you'd answered. I'm not reversing the clip. I have tried the clip speeded up and at normal speed and both are the same - what the preview window shows and the exported file are different. The clip I am trying to take out is only a couple of frames long - 0.74seconds. I use the timer to choose the exact part, export, and I get a totally different piece. I've tried increasing frame rate to the maximum (60) and tried all sorts of file formats to export to. All the same. Can I send you the .vpj file and the exported file so you can see the difference? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKlick Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hello c-major... I am having this same issue. Preview is perfect. Export, the video is terribly behind. Probably 4-6 seconds behind in cases. I've tried all of the above items suggested, and nothing seems to work. We are using the professional version on a laptop... Help please? Our production team is wanting this out like yesterday, and I can't get it to export properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 When played on various Media Players, is the exported file out of sync? A Video pad test you can make, which may not be practical if you have multiple audio clips... Right-click each audio clip, then "save audio clip as new file." Save your project under a new name or incremented #, then replace the audio files with the new (WAV) files. Any difference on export?? The latest version is 4.05. State your PC's specs and someone may be able to access whether it is underpowered for resource intensive video editing, which could be the problem. The video driver might be implicated; check if a later version is available - from the chip or card manufacturer's WEBsite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_major Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi, Please try the latest version if you have an early version. We fixed the issue from this topic at 4.05. Please let me know if the problem still exist in 4.05. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banjoy Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi, I am trying to make a video of my song using your software. For making the video, I have used five overlaid clips of the song and have taken parts of clips from each video. A separate audio file (mixdown of the song) was used for the project. The results the first time were pretty bad with the audio and video way out of sync. Thinking I made a mistake and the video files may have actually moved accidentally in the process of splitting, I spent a few hours doing the video on videopad from scratch again. I ensured this time that the audio and video were in perfect sync by previewing the project in full screen mode. However, I have rendered the video twice since then, and each time, the audio and video are way out of sync. I tried opening the rendered avi file in VLC Media Player. Surprisingly, the audio plays but the video is frozen! I am using a free version of Videopad downloaded recently so I am assuming I am having the latest version. I also don't think it is a problem of the resources of my computer as I am running other digital audio workstation software without any glitches. Hope I can get a solution to the problem in this forum. Thanks in advance! Banjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 You tacked onto a two-year old thread; it's best to start anew. But since we're here, please click FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT. Zip all the results and upload to DropBox, Google Drive, MS OneDrive or the like. Make the link public and post it here. Someone will analyze your project.

banjoy Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Thanks a ton Borate!! I tacked on to an old thread hoping that would help in avoiding duplication on discussing the same topic on different threads. Will upload and send the link shortly!!

banjoy Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Hi Borate, Have uploaded the zip file to MS Onedrive. Here is the link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsR5h_IV8GVBbhSsBeXNFGh-4m4 Also thought it might be pertinent to let you know that the video is playing slower than the audio in the rendered output. Also, I have opened the rendered video file in videopad and checked it is out of sync, and hence it is not an issue of the windows media player. Thanks for helping!!
