Hay, i recently downloaded the free version of videopad video editor and it's worked great, much better than any other editing software ive used, and ive produced two half hour videos in good quality, but when i tried my third, recorded from my screen, exactly the same as the other two, and added it onto videopad, the quality dramaticly decreased, when the other two had been fine and the thrid was fine on other software, i couldnt work this out, i produced a small clip of it into a movie, still bad quality, blurred and merged, still confuzed, i started a new one and put it on, same thing happened, so i started another new one, but this time with the origional clip i used for my 1st video, and even that was blurred. Please help i don't know what to do.
I have purchased the VideoPad software but have not yet produced a video. (I'm using for the deshaker only, right now.) I was concerned about your experience since I've got "skin in the game" by actually purchasing the software Here are my results:
After making 4 unique movies and repeating one, all output quality was the same. Using adifferent "device" choice, the quality was substantially poorer.
Here's the test:
Using NCH's VideoPad, I made 4 unique movies, using all of different but similar material (same camera, same subject material, all files originated the same way). The camera is a JVC Everio HD videocam.
The videos from the camera are in the AVCHD format and the file type is .MTS.
But I stabilized all my videos with VideoPad's “De-Shaker, which produces .mp4 files.
I converted the mp4 files using NCH's Prism Converter program into .mpg files.
(I will use another editor to pick and choose the final material I will use later.)
So, the pictures are 1920x1080x16M jpg files and the videos are AVCHD files converted twice into .mp3 files.
Each movie consists of five elements
a picture
a video
a picture
a video
a picture
All evaluations were run on my HD 1920x1080 LCD computer screen.
I made my each movie using the .avi output suggested by clicking on the “Computer/Data” output.
Of the 4 movies, they all had equal very good quality.
On a hunch, I made 3 copies of Movie 1 in other formats:
A 5th movie used Movie1 material but producing the video in *.mpg format .
The quality was the same as the *.avi output
A 6th movie used the Movie1 material, but producing the movie in *.mp4 format.with the “Portable Device output.
The quality was substantially poorer than the “Computer/Data” output.
A 7th movie used the Movie1 material, but producing the movie in *.mp4 format with the “Portable Device output.
The quality again was substantially poorer than the “Computer/Data” output.
All 7 final movies were produced with the default parameters. I altered nothing but the output format.
The quality sucked on all "Portable Device" method of output. Is this what you might have done?
I can post the videos to YouTube if you need them, but I have to say, the VideoPad product seems quite solid.
