audioclip is clipped - no pun intended

kermit2004

Hi,

I just downloaded the free version of video pad and am working on my first project.

So far all went fine - I'm not 100% happy but for a free tool it is really great.

However working on the project I have a soundfile as soundtrack and as I go along I enlarge this file (using a different programm) - also up until about min 3 no problem - but the last enlargement hasn't been taken (I added another minute to the track but only about 10 secs of the add is being played).

When I control the track (which is a mp3 file) in any other player is plays all the way - so the file seems to be ok.

Is there a limit on video/audio length in the free version?

What else could the reason be, that the audioclip is not fully included?

There is no limit to the audio length in any of the versions of VP as far as I am aware.

What exactly do you mean when you say that you enlarge the file?

Normally you can simply add another sound file to the Media list and then place it on the soundtrack so it follows the one already there.

This is probably the simplest way of extending a soundtrack rather than using a third party program to (presumably) add two mp3 files together.

Hi Nat,

yeah when working with exisiting mp3 files it is obviously better to include the single mp3s and take it from there (although I am not so happy with the possibiliities to adjust the settings of the clips in video pad) - but I am "composing" a mp3 file and this "composition" gets longer as I go along in the video. Since I couldn't find the reason for the clipping I splitted the composition in three parts now and include each part seperatly - not ideal but it works.

In the past I have extended mp3s using a third party program that was supposed to let you join them together and output the result as a new mp3. Depending on the player used the result didn't always play the mp3s that were added on. VP 2.41 only played the first section of such lengthened files. But I have no idea why. I'm pretty certain It's not VP as some treated files played with one player and not another.

With the multiple audio tracks that VP has and which are fairly well controllable individually, you should be able to create something usable using individual mp3s audio clips.
