Text not appearing when exporting iphone video

[Alcuse01]

Hi all,

I just purchased the software and created 2 short "home videos" with the software so far.  The first, I used a gopro for the video clips.  Everything worked fine.  The 2nd, I used only my iphone, and have come to realize that filming vertically creates a "skinny" video.   But what I'm also finding an issue with, is even after adding text overlay on top of this video, the text, and entire video, seems to "shrink" into the width of the iphone video.  However, within the actual project, it shows the way i want it to, and has the text extend into the black boarders.   (note, the text is the layer above the video within the project)

Also -  the video I actually did film horizontally, so that the video should show normal size, also appears "skinny" when I export it... but appears fine in the project.

I've tried exporting directly to Youtube (1080) , and also to Google drive (720).   Can anyone help this extreme beginner?

1) the first scene shows the text issue.  It should state - "Breckenridge 2019".    2)  at 3:21 shows the horizontal video that's "skinny" after export  --->  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GwEF01oYWS0OVd0JYExviX5v5SS47WZF/view?usp=sharing

I have this exact same problem! Tried using AutoFit and it didn't help.

Preview shows everything perfectly but once exported the text isn't shown the same.

Alcuse, let's see the project, so it can be analyzed.  Upload and share it per the instructions here...  http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

Dandandb, "AutoFit" is not a phrase seen in Videopad.  Could you mean "auto-match?"  That's just a suggestion:  choose any resolution.

borate do you mind if I share mine also? would be curious mine is a similar problem but my text moves for the majority of my project?

By all means.  When exporting directly to YouTube suggest chosing the YouTube 1080 option (not vertical).  Or create a 1920 x 1080video file, then use YouTube's uploader.

Test other resolutions as well.

HI Borate -- thanks so much for responding.   As instructed, please find the shareable link below.    Within the very first scene, you can see how "Breckenridge 2019" overlays the iphone video and into the black borders.  But whenever I export it, the overlay seems to disappear and only the letters within the width of the iphone video remain.   The other text overlays I have in the video also run into this problem.

At 3:13 I have an iphone video clip I took horizontally -- which when playing within the project, fills up the full screen.  But when I export it, this again shrinks down to only the size of the vertical video.   The aspect ratio of this clip is 16:9.

Finally - I've tried exporting this straight to youtube in 1080, 720, 16:9 vertical, as well as straight to google drive, with 1080, 720, mp4 and mov, letterbox, and crop and zoom, ,and finally, 1024 TV wide -- and nothing works.  I also tried editing just the first video clip of the project into a 16:9 ratio, thinking maybe that would work to "trick" the export into the right width.  That didn't work either.  I also added an additional layer of just black background thinking that too could trick the export into the right width, and of course that didn't work either.   Really hope you can assist.   Thanks again for your time!

No problems, but for missing IMG.0727.png, when previewing and exporting your project in the latest VP demo version.

These were my settings.

Check your player settings - video size, zoom, aspect, etc.

Borate - thanks again.   I don't understand why it works for you but not for me.  I checked my settings in both Youtube and Google drive, and don't see any options to adjust the ratio or zoom.  I know I'm exporting it correctly so it doesn't make sense to me.   For whatever reason, it seems both players are adjusting to the width of the iphone video and not the width of the actual project.     

I do appreciate you providing me the export for download.  I'm just concerned about running into this issue again with my next video.

In lieu of using direct upload from VP, did you create a video file with the above settings and then use YouTube's uploader, as suggested earlier?

Viewed my video export made with the above settings in Windows Media Player, the MPC-HC,  Google Drive and the MS OneDrive players.  Looked correct in all.

Your https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GwEF01oYWS0OVd0JYExviX5v5SS47WZF/view?usp=sharing does not and I am at a loss to say why some users are experiencing this.

Test with the latest version.
