andyaUK Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Total newbie here. I have started editing videos and noticed that the preview image of the video is very small. It takes up just the top left quarter of the preview window. It's making it difficult to see which part of the video I am editing. Any help much appreciated!

borate Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 First thing: click the VIEW menu in the toolbar and RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS. Having an image not centered in the preview window is odd. Please take a screenshot and link it here. The procedure is explained in the 'sticky' post at the top of this forum titled "Tips for getting help on this forum."

andyaUK Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thank you. Restoring the default setting in the view menu did not have an effect. I have attached a screen shot and vpj file. The view shown has not changed since first install just under a week ago. screenshot of small preview problem vpj file example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationalsolo Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi Pretty sure there is a fault here. Your video should fill the preview area and be central. If you have the original installation file, uninstall VP and reinstall it. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_major Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 @andyaUK I saw your screen shot on DropBox. I also tried the project file. It looks like something to do with your display driver. Not only the video, the GUI seems messed up too. We are investigating and try to reproduce the issue. Could you tell us what kind of video card are you using? Could you please also try: Export the video see if it has the same problem as the preview Update the display driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyaUK Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thank you all for the information and advice. Exporting a video resulted in a normal output. Your suggestion of updating the display driver prompted me to look at the properties set for Videopad in Windows. In properties, compatibility, settings, there is an option "overide high DPI scaling behaviour. Scaling performed by:". I had the "system (enhanced)" option selected from the dropdown menu when the preview was small (1/4 of normal size). When I switched this option to "Application", the preview displayed the normal larger size. This seems to have resolved the issue. Many thanks again.
