Created video sound only, no video (no photos)

I purchased Video Pad today. I made a short video with audio and video. When I exported it to make a movie, only the audio plays. What happened? I am a little new to this.

Could you share your project (on Google Drive or One Drive etc.)?

Hi, Lynne.

Just to cover the basics: you did place your video and audio file onto the timeline? And when you preview from the timeline, it plays correctly?

LynneL

Yes, it plays correctly on the timeline. The problem seems to be with avi. I was able to export it to MP4, but I tried to export it to avi three times and all three times, it omitted the video, just recorded the audio.

I haven't tried Google Drive or One Drive, but I successfully exported it to MP4. I could then put it on my phone and even sent it in a text to my mother. I even successfully shared this MP4 to Facebook, but AVI keeps having a problem for me. Only the audio gets put into the video format.

Chances are that the necessary codec isn't installed in the video player. A codec pack may overcome that, although they can be overkill.

AVI is a wrapper that can contain various video compressors. In the EXPORT box, open the encoding box and try a few different ones. H264 would be a good choice.
