Varza Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I've recently been encoding a heap of videos in WMV format using still images with a number of processing effects added (e.g. blurs, glow, etc). I'm encoding in 1440p and the speed is really slowing to a crawl - I mean something like 25 seconds of processing for 1 second of video time.... When I check VideoPad's process in Task Manager its only running at 25-30% CPU load and 0-6% GPU load?? I'm running a 8700k (OC to 5ghz) and RTX 3080.... the processing time just doesn't seem right. Are there any tricks to optimise? Also - does anyone know if there are any plans to release VideoPad in 64-bit? I've been a loyal customer for years and have re-purchased keys to get updates (even though the 'claimed' discount is extremely stingy in my opinion) mostly due to the fact I've just gotten so used to using VideoPad and I'm very efficient at it and haven't bothered trying to learn a more advanced program. This trade-off is becoming increasingly difficult to justify for an ancient 32-bit program as time continues. Edit: Using latest version i.e. v9.07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 A 64-bit version is being developed, with no firm target date published. Improvements in GPU usage have been made in the version you are using but it's not fully tweaked. Use this one instead, and please report back whether 'encoding' (export?) time improves.

Uberprutser Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I can feel your pain :) Videopad is probably trying to balance the workload between cache file generating and editing. All this can be rather slow, probably to keep it workable. 1440P is also a rather high resolution. I guess we could all use a 64 bit update. Hopefully they will also overhaul that ridiculous cache file engine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw in release notes that 64 bit is now available but it was labelled as a MacOS release Is the latest windows release now 64 bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 The 9.09 Mac release note on 12/31 states "Complete VideoPad 64 bit build and prepare for the first release." It may be the same for Windows; a 64-bit release date has not yet been published. Update to the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
