Hi,
I deleted video, started over again, was able to edit ie got rid of the blip.
My next video is same again!, won't let me delete, hopefully, my editor teacher will help me with why that is, when she recovers from ill health.
The video standing still while audio playing was resolved by:
"Options > Disk", then click "Clear Unused Cache File" and click OK. Then restart VideoPad.
thanks for your help! You were very kind...
