solved Jumps in editing

[Ferro]

Recently, an odd behavior has begun to appear in editing. When I play the video in Sequence Preview, the red cursor jumps back for 0.5 - 1 s and repeats video and audio. This does not occur in the very beginning of the video, but a bit later , and very often. It also takes a very long time for VideoPad to start and close. The video is quite long, 1.5 hours, format 768 x 576 PAL video. Originally it has been captured from a Sony digital camcorder in AVI. Then it has been deinterlaced and converted to MP4 by HD Video Convert Factory Pro. VideoPad version is 8.32. Operating system is Windows 10. I have a quite capable PC, Intel i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM and 240 GB SSD, so this should not be a problem.

Editing in this situation is very difficult, so I would be really thankful for help.

Hi

Not noticed this yet in version 8.32 although it has occurred in previous versions. Ensure that the project files are fully cached and the green bar has completed. If you edit a longish project before this is complete it can cause problems as the updating is done in real time. First time caching can take some time with a long project. If you haven't emptied the cache between editing sessions loading the project can be much faster.

Because it's lengthy it could take some time, but please share it.  That's the best way to suss this out.  Just be sure that the free space on the server is sufficient for the file size.

Here's how...  http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

If it contains sensitive material link it in a personal message (PM).  Click the envelope above.  It won't be passed on or retained.  Use FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS, not simply SAVE PROJECT, and don't forget to share it.

Thanks for your quick answers, Nationalsolo and borate.

The actual reason for the problems was that I had moved the VideoPadCache folder to a separate drive. Why? My operation system disk was nearly full, and I had to move something away. This cache was enormous, so moving it helped a lot. A bit later I installed a new SSD and moved my documents there, freeing much space on OS disk. After having written my question I began pondering whether the reason for the problems might be the cache location change. I then noticed that in addition to the cache, VideoPad had also moved quite much else to the separate drive. When I moved the cache back under VideoPad folder on OS disk, everything was working well again.

Cache may have become corrupted.  You can always clear it under OPTIONS | DISK tab.  And there you can specify where these caches are to be kept.

The AUDIO cache is now a subfolder of the Video cache folder, as of a recent release, so that may have contributed to the issue.  Glad you worked it out.
