Sojourner Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I'm totally new to video editing and I can't figure out how to do a simple task. I placed a video file into VideoPad's sequence area, then used the scissors tool to split the file into two. I want to save one of those clips as a new video file or clip that I can use on other projects, but I can't see how that's done with VideoPad's non-intuitive user interface. I see there's a "Save Audio Clip as New File" option but how do I save the whole thing? I know there must be a simple way to do that, but I can't find it in the menus. Thanks for any assistance you may provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Patience; there's a learning curve.🙂 After splitting-out the desired clip, use the left-arrow button to go to the start of the clip... Hold down <shift> then use the right-arrow button to go to the end of the clip. The clip will be selected (blue). Right-click in the selected area and Export selected region. Note the target folder, and choose your export settings (the defaults are often best). Click Create. The result will be a clip that can be imported into future projects.

Sojourner Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Borate-- Thanks so much. You directions were clear and helpful and they totally worked. Thanks again. If I might impose on you for one more question, when I went to export the clip I got a menu of export choices the top one was "Video File" and the 4th one was "Lossless Video." What's the difference? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Lossless passes through the content without re-encoding - thus no quality loss. But there are limitations to when Lossless can be used... https://www.nch.com.au/kb/10288.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
