Converting VideoPad to an mp4

Diana_HW

I have been using VideoPad to create virtual choirs for church and I think I am getting pretty good at it. I am having one problem though that I don't know how to fix.

How do you convert your movie to an mp4 so that it looks exactly like what I created in Video Pad. It doesn't seem to matter how perfect I position all of the singers, once I convert it, they get squished together or overlap. The split screen tool is wonderful but in videoPad it is a square and the mp4 is a rectangle so they all get squished. There are a lot of choices when I convert, maybe I'm picking the wrong one?

Help please!

It's likely not the format (mp4, AVI, MOV, etc.) but the resolution that is throwing out the alignment.

When creating the project, did you use MATCH MONITOR, which should closely mirror what the export should look like?

Upload your project, so folks here can take a look. Someone will spot the problem.

Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
Upload --- Upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file.
Get link --- Get a public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. Change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view" Click COPY LINK | DONE.
Share --- Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared.

* Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.

In this case, conversion isn't the issue - it's formatting and export resolution. For Virtual Choir insight see the 'sticky' at the top of this forum.
