Sequence progress bar?

[irpacynot]

At first, when using two video tracks, the violet progress bar would turn from dark violet to light violet after adding a clip or making some other change to the sequence. Now, it just stays dark violet. Makes it difficult to determine when the clips are finished rendering into the sequence. Is it possible I accidentally turned it off? And if so, how could I toggle it back on?

Thank you

What version is being used?  Look at the bottom-left of the Videopad window.  Try 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 is required in order to register the newest.  Retain your old install file and registration info.  If there's an issue, you can always revert.

There's no toggle.

If a project has multiple video tracks, then the ribbon normally turns violet   after individual tracks are cached (green lines complete).  If it stays violet when small changes are made it's possible that the sequence has cached so quickly that you weren't aware of it.

Click on the Sequence in the bin (top-left) and that ribbon will be gray when fully cached.

I'm not sure where you're referring to exactly.

What, specifically, are you uncertain about?

If the sequence caching ribbon below the preview window is violet in color, then the sequence is fully cached.
