How to swap in/update a video clip in VIDEOPAD?
I'm making a video using VideoPad. It is an extensive and busy scene, requiring many
video clips and sound clips. There are dozens of sound clips scattered on multiple
sound tracks.
I recently updated a video clip, and now want to insert it into the video track of
my VideoPad file....problem is - whenever I try to delete the old clip from the video
track to swap in the new one in it's place, it also deletes ALL of those many,
carefully placed, sound clips that are underneath it on the sound tracks below it.
I have farted around with this thing for hours and I can't find a way to swap in the
updated video clip without it destroying the placement of all of those sound clips
below it - they seem attached to it, and there is no way to separate them from that
damned video clip, and simply moving them out from under it destroys all of the
careful timing and placement I have already done with them. Deleting the video
clip also deletes all the sound clips and then I have to start all over with them
again.
I have tried everything I can think of;
--- I have tried saving a new version of the video clip and then opening the VPJ.....
--- Going into the VideoPad cache and deleting all of the files in there
and then reloading it.
--- Deleting the original clip from the clip list and resaving the VPJ file,
both under original name and under a new name.... I then open either one, use
"add media" to re-introduce the new clip again, yet it STILL seems to keep a
copy of the old video clip in spite of me destroying every trace of any copy
I have of it on my hard drive. I completely clean out all the raw files and
everything. I completely emptied the folder until one day the folder itself
completely dissappeared.
--- I have turned off the "use cache" feature, and deleted the cache folder
before doing all of the above all over again.
The video clip's IN Points and OUT points seem permanently attached to all my
sound clips and I can't seem to separate them from the parameters of that old
video clip.
This is a STUPID problem to have and seems like a rediculous oversight for a
video editing software program to saddle it's users with.
How can I unlink my sound clips from the video clip above it?
I have version 2.05
The computer I use this version on is not hooked to the internet, thus I have no
internet help link.
Thank You;
Frustrated.....
