How to maintain slow motion speed in exported video?

[molly1205]

In the editor, I've changed the speed of my video sequence to .5, but when I export the video to an .mp4, the playback speed is normal. I want to keep the slowmotion effect. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

What version of Videopad is being used?  Here's the latest.  For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date.  After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest.  Retain your old install file and registration info.

Is this for a single or just a few clips?  Right-click the clip on the sequence and Change Speed.  Half-speed would be 50%.  Don't forget to click SET.

If the intent is to change speed of the entire project (containing many clips), try the following.

1.  Don't apply a speed change to any clips

2. When editing is complete, click the + sign at the right of the Sequence 1 tab (above the thumbnails) to launch a new, blank sequence.

3. Click the Sequences tab in the bin (top left) and drag Sequence 1 to the blank timeline.

4. Apply the Change Speed effect to this Sequence 2, which will be a single-clip composite of your project. 

5.  Export.

Save Project File AS at each stop, giving it a unique # or name, so as not to overwrite prior saves.  Using Save Project Files (no AS) will overwrite.  From the HOME tab, that choice is available by clicking the chevron to the right of the Save Project button on the toolbar.  Then you will be protected.
