Novice multi-video tracks question.

Badmagic

Quick question, was knocking together something for a friend, desktop capture at 3840x2160@60 and webcam at 1920x1080@30 separately (two separate video files), I'm able to import them and edit the timeline and position the webcam where/when required just fine, the preview looks good on review but on playback of the file produced by Videopad the webcam playback is just frozen...

Is this something I can fix with changing settings or is it a hardware thing.

System in use is:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @4.5

GPU: Asus RTX 3800 TUF

RAM: 32 GB (2x16) DDR4 @3600

O/S: Win 11 Pro x64 (21H2)

From what I've read this setup should be sufficient to the task at hand but, any ideas or idiosyncrasies with the settings to help with this would be appreciated. For the time being I've gone back to just capturing the cam and desktop together with multiple audio tracks but its far from optimal as the cam is overlaid throughout the recording.

What's the format and length of each of the two files? Have any effects, speed changes or transitions been applied? What are the export settings?
