Clips vanish

[Dennis Natureman]

Hello forus , have others found that having loaded a series of video and Jpeg clips to the editor page and attempted to edit the result the system greys out and it's hard to find the clip sequence this is the first time I have used Videopad and it appears straightforward however I am using a very recent windows 10 on a well specced computer and if I remove the sd card from the reader after it has downloaded the clips the whole lot vanishes and I have to go on a hunt to find my selected clips this has happened a number of times and I know I am doing something wrong or am I   I am a totally new user, with a paid for edition . I have read the help topics but this still happens , Please help Dennis

Move the clips to a folder on the PC, then load them in the Videopad bin (top-left).

Clips in the bin can  be trimmed by using the SET START | SET END buttons under the preview window.  Then use the ADD button to move the clip to the timeline.

Or build the sequence by dragging those clips to the timeline or right-click on one and use a PLACE choice from the drop-down menu.

Don't delete or move the source clips or VP won't know where to find them.

During editing, Save Project File AS routinely, giving it a unique # and name, so as to not overwrite prior saves.  Using Save Project will overwrite.

If you make a mistake during editing immediately press <ctrl-Z> to backtrack, step-by-step.  Same as EDIT | UNDO.
