addressed Censor intensity: Correct in video preview, incorrect after export?

[thespacegoat]

I've created a video with a fairly strong censor intensity. When playing the video in VideoPad, it looks exactly the way I want, with the correct intensity.

However, upon export, the intensity drops to what appears to be intensity 10 (the default). I have checked to make sure that the intensity is correct in VideoPad across the whole clip (it is, looks great). Why is it not exporting with the intensity at the correct level?

Testing here, with these settings... 

The clip preview...      The export result... 

Try the current version and see if the issue persists for you.  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.

12.33 is the version installed

12.33 is the release used for the above test.  Share your project and we'll take a look.  The process is easy, quick and can be done privately.  Just follow these steps...

•     Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left.  Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER.  Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
•     Upload ---  Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER.    Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file. 
•     Get link --- Get a public link.  If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" 
•     Share ---     Click COPY LINK | DONE.  Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me.  It won't be shared.

          *    Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES.  Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.

Here's the preview using pixelation...      And the export...

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately, what I am trying to do is to pixelate a student for a video (they do not have a signed video release form). So, uploading the project would be a privacy violation. 

I have since discovered that the blur and pixilation effect both have the same problem with the intensity, but  the blackout effect does not, so I was able to complete the task... just not with the pixilation.

Sorry, but cannot replicate that here, as shown above.  But give this a test...

Go to OPTIONS | ADVANCED and in the bottom GPU Video Processor section click the caret and choose None (CPU Only).  Any change?

Submit a test project that has the issue...or perhaps the student's video can be shared privately via Personal Message.  No one else will ever see it.

Later today I'll try to make a second video that has the problem. But oddly, it seems to be happening on only two clips out of 8.

Perhaps it will be sufficient to simply upload those clips...

Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, get a shared (public) link, copy the link and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum.  When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."
