lordmullin Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi everyone - I'm considering Video Pad as I make the switch from PC to Mac. I want to know if I can achieve split-screen, multiple-layered stuff. At the moment, I can have (theoretically) any number of video tracks, resize them and fly in jpegs, captions etc, really easily - is this possible with Video Pad? I'm still working through the video tutorials, so forgive me if this is already dealt with, but I want to be able to resize the different screens and move them about at will... Thanks for any help!

borate Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yes, that's the gist of non-linear systems. Just how easily the processes are accomplished is a relative judgment. Give the demo version a workout before you buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmullin Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Borate - doing so now, will report back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmullin Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Well, it seems there is full scalability and movability of layered video tracks, which is great - BUT, the control is not intuitive (i don't really want to enter values, when I'd prefer to click and resize, for example) and there's a real lag while it builds the preview, so it's not a smooth editing process. Unless someone can tell me that only happens in the demo, I'll have to pass. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmullin Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Just bought it. Look forward to exploring the potential! Edited September 17, 2015 by lordmullin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to do that. Drag the "handles." / and there's a real lag while it builds the preview, so it's not a smooth editing process. See the thread just below this one, "building preview." Keep in mind that video editing is resource intensive; for best results a robust PC is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmullin Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thanks Borate! I realised I had the settings too high for Preview - now it's fine and I've bought the software. Diligently working through all the tuturials now... thanks for your help! Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
