valuenyc Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I have done a great many small deletions in a video clip. And I got too aggressive. So I'd like to restore/undo. There are way too many to back-track; I want most of them to stand. I'd hoped I could just highlight the area and restore what was deleted within it. Any function like that? Do I have to start over with the same clip? This will be excruciating. Any help appreciated. Using VideoPad v. 8.35 Windows 8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Don't believe that's possible. UNDO <ctrl-Z> is step-by-step, of course. You might be able to split out a portion of the clip, then insert new material... Save Project AS routinely, giving it a unique name or #, so as to not overwrite earlier saves. Don't use Save Project, which will overwrite. Then you will be protected in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valuenyc Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Well, thanks for that. At least I won't waste any more time on it. I have the original video, so I should be able to make a patch. May I add that this seems like a reasonable feature request? "Non-destructive editing" leads one to believe one can correct anything. And that's not quite true as a practical matter. I'll admit that I don't think it's trivial, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valuenyc Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Duh... you know, if you ask the wrong question, you'll never get your problem solved. And in this instance, I just didn't change paradigms. What I realized late last night was that I needed to delete what I was unhappy with, go back to the original clip, isolate the correct segment, and then "add on sequence." Dumb as I feel, I hope this helps some other newbie. Someday. Thanks for trying to help that newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Takes practice. Remember that higher tracks override lower tracks. New material on track 2 will cover what's on track 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valuenyc Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Ah. I wondered whether I should add a track, but I just inserted on the one timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hi valuenyc ".........Dumb as I feel, I hope this helps some other newbie. Someday. ......." Don't feel dumb! I'm reasonably familiar with the program and often try to help out with a stupid reply (Edit quick before too many people see it!!!!) or come up with a long winded way of doing something that someone else (naming no names ) has a much simpler answer for. At the end of the day it's users helping other users. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
