Problem -- Vido Skipping to End

NLP

Hello All,

When trying to edit a video sequence made up of several clips I am finding that when I toggle start/pause with the spacebar the video will skip all the way to the end of the clip.

It doesn't happen consistently, but more often than not.

I have the most recent version of Videopad -- and even uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

Have never seen that behavior reported. If possible, with the project on the timeline, click FILE|SAVE AS PORTABLE PROJECT.

Upload the results (all files) to DropBox, Google Drive, MS OneDrive or the like. Make the link public and post it here. Someone will attempt to duplicate what you see.

NLP

You got it!

Need ALL the files that SAVE AS PORTABLE PROJECT included - not just the VPJ. You might try zipping them all, then uploading the zip file.

NLP

Sorry about that -- these should be all of the files.

Correction -- the files are still loading -- it should be availabe soon.

Right, .zip file is uploaded here -- https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11C0jmqeUhppszUFq8zUY9zoJMSijH08C?usp=sharing

Sequence appears to be corrupt. The file that you downloaded fixed the issue.

I don't think there is anything wrong with your upload. The fault is in the way VP actions the STOP/START with the Space key.

Your upload contained two files....

2018-01-05 18-05-38.zip and Tuna MRE2.MOV

The zip opened as shown here:

The first thing to note is that you have uploaded Tuna MRE2.MOV twice; once in the zip and one as a separate file. (Not a problem)

Your Ep 1 Lemon Tuna Ingredients, Cooking.vpj fil opened correctly into VP, and loaded correctly to the timeline.

Not all of the video clips loaded to the timeline. Only Tuna Cooking 6MOV; Tuna Cooking 7MOV and Tuna Cooking 8MOV were being used The others remained in the clip bin. (Again, not a problem)

Of the two audio files loaded only All Up in my Jam.mp3 was used. Tuna Cooking 8.MOV was not used. (Seemed to be radio recording).....So you had some redundant files in your project. (Once more not a problem)

Having said all that the timeline played normally when using the STOP/START button under the Sequence Preview screen.It stopped and and continued using repeated presses of the centre button. This is normal.

However, using the Space bar to Stop/Start in the same way the playback was as you reported - The cursor line skipped.

Was this due to you holding down the Space key??
Do you have the key auto repeat too short.

Quick on/off presses seemed to work OK. Keeping the key depressed made the cursor line jump to the end or start of the timeline.

Note that the action of using Space is not the same as using the sequence screen Stop/Start button as the latter only actions once it is released, Space actions when it is pressed.

NCH might be able to change this action??

Hi Sorry for the late reply,

Nat -- I was not holding the space bar, and in fact the skipping to the end happens when I click the pause button as well.

As for the auto-repeat, I'm not sure how to change those settings, but as far as I know I have not altered them.

Borate -- your uncorrupted fixed version works. No issues pausing with space bar.

Do you know why that would have happened?

borate

Sorry, can't say. However, during discovery there was a 'hidden' audio channel with voices, which may have had an impact??

Now that you have the corrected version, it will be deleted on the server. Glad it worked out.

Hi Borate

When you loaded the project from the vpj file, was the audio file with the voices (Tuna Cooking 8.Mov) actually on the timeline? In the version I got (see above) that particular sound file was unused and still in the bin. There was only the main track. I got what I described also with the Space bar. Bit odd.

Nat

Nat,

To my recollection, the initial load had only music, but when the sequence was copied to a new sequence the voice popped up on a separate track - at least on my first attempt.

There were many unused files in the bin, as you noted, but can't say if those with voices were among them.

Well...NLP has it working which is the main thing. :-)

I've reproduced the issue by using the files from NLP but not other files.

We'll investigate and try to get it fixed.

c_major_2

I've found that a Color Curve effect has been added on to the sequence "Ingredients". The effect looks like has been added unintentionally (no actual effects). Removing the effect from the sequence can get the problem fixed.

We are still investigating why adding effect on the sequence caused the problem.

c_major_2

This problem is now fixed. The fixes will be applied to the next release.

Thanks everyone in this thread for reporting and analyzing the problem.

Umm no, its not fixed, I have the latest version, and the red line is still glitching out, and the video is paused on the screen but the audio is still going! Ive had this problem for years.

With a project that has this behavior loaded into VP, click the FILE menu|SAVE AS PORTABLE PROJECT. Upload the results to Dropbox, Google Drive, MS OneDrive or the like. Make the link public and post it here. If there are many files, zip them first, then upload the zip file.

If the project is lengthy, perhaps a portion of it that displays the problem can be split away and uploaded. Someone will take a look.

You cant say because you cant fix the bug, just shut it down before it gets more bad reviews!
