Installation disk size requirement

Maurice_Bendayan

Hello,
Does the VideoPad Master's edition work locally in my PC, or does it work online only? If local, what is the size of the downloaded installation file and the disk size requirement for installation.

Thank you,
Maurice

The stub installer, which quickly downloads from the Net, runs about 3MB. The 32-bit program runs locally on a 32- or 64-bit PC.

Ample caching space is the main concern for disk size, and an SSD is recommended. Caching options include...

Cache

Cache folder - Specify a drive and folder where you want to store cached data. (The C:\ drive default is normally fine.)
Clear Unused Cache Files - Press this button to delete all cache files which are currently not in use.
Warn me when free disk space goes below (MB)

Thank you. So, just to confirm, I do not need an internet connection when running the program. Correct?

borate

That is generally correct.

However, there may be occasions when a feature that you want to use requires files or a component to be installed, such as when accessing Clip Art or Stock Sounds.

In that case a connection is required.

Thank you again. The reason I was asking is because the demo program was only _4MB. So I thought that if I bought the Master's edition, maybe I would also not have the full program installed locally on my PC.

Cheers,

Maurice

The various versions - HOME, TRIAL - are essentially the same program - with specific features enabled/disabled. The Masters (Professional) edition is full featured.

For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info.

There is no mandate to upgrade, though there may be prompts. Generally it's best to stick with what works for you and export with the version - or a close relative - to the one that creates a project.

You can always test drive newer, unlicensed releases, to see if they offer additional features ... or present any glitches. ^_
