triviatus Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I have just started saving my first video project (I'm a relative new comer) and decided to go with the highest resolution, until I realised just how long it would take. So, I restarted at a lower resolution (1920-1080) but even this is a long haul. As I am unable to be at my computer to stop it going to sleep I am wondering just how I save over such a long period. Sorry if this question seems a bit dim, but I am new to Video Pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 To keep a Windows PC from sleeping open Control Panel|POWER OPTIONS and in the Balanced section click on "change plan settings." Set PUT THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP to "never." Change it back when you're done. Video editing is resource intensive. You didn't mention your PC's specs: space open on hard drive, CPU, memory, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triviatus Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Thank you for that. I have done it. Just for reference what sort of time am I looking at for a 90 minute video on a 4Gb machine and a 1Tb hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 What format? What encoding? They make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_major Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Please note that export performance will vary depends on the complexity of the project. For example, if you added a clip to another layer, VideoPed would need to decode it and take more time to compose the output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
