DavidLE Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I just opened a video I haven't worked on in a long time. I'm trying to change the text and there are no white lines in the Video Track 2 section where the text is embedded. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 By "white lines" do you mean that there are no text clips showing on track 2? Is track 2 collapsed, like this? Double click on it and the text editor will appear. Let's see a link to a screen grab. To do that please follow the upload instructions in the Get Help sticky post at the top of this forum.

DavidLE Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Don't see a "Get Help" sticky, but yes, Video Track 2 is collapsed and can't open it with double click or arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 What version of Videopad is being used? Expanding takes but a single-click on the caret at the left... Give the latest release a try. It will be a full-featured trial for a short while if not registered. To share a screenshot or file... Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, right-click the link and Share. Copy the result 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidLE Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 I tried the new version and the problem's the same. I can see the text editor line in the Video Track 2 section when I add text but not for the writing that's already there. This seems very simple.😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Still not certain of what you are seeing. Provide a screen shot if possible, as above. Be sure that the background color chosen in the text editor is not the same as the text color, or text won't be seen (unless selected). When composing text, the clip appears in the bin (top-left) and on the timeline (or drag it there). Position as needed. If you plan to compose additional text, don't drag the existing clip from the bin to the timeline and attempt to change the content. That will alter the original. Instead. right-click on the clip in the bin and <ctrl-C> to COPY. Then right-click on open area of the bin and click PASTE (Clip/s) Do this as many times as needed. Then drag individual copied clips onto the timeline and change their text. Leave the master clip as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
