Can't load video into VideoPad

HelpingSaveHumanity

It keeps giving me this error either by dragging or even using the upload button, & I just dragged a video in there a few hours ago, did an export too.

I played the video on my VLC & it works fine.

I restarted VP too & it's still doing it.

Here's the error - https://imgur.com/e3cvT6A

Perhaps a component has been damaged. Close Videopad. Use Windows Explorer (the file manager) to locate these folders and delete all the files that they contain...

"C:\Users\<PC Name>\AppData\Roaming\NCH Software\Components"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\NCH Software\Components"

Then reinstall Videopad. Here's the current release.

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.

Do I really have to do all of that again? 🙁

I'll restart my computer tomorrow (or when I wake up) to see if that helps. sigh

Another easy thing to try...

Right-click the VP launch file and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Share the file and we'll see how it loads here.

Ok, so after restarting which didn't help, I tested it by dragging another video & that worked, so it was the video.

Clip grab is what I use most of the time to DL a video, but there's been problems with it recently. 🙁 I had to get it ripped from a YT download on Telegram.

Another approach would be to capture the video with a program like Debut.

Ok, no, I meant software that downloads the video from a page or video platform, but I have actually been looking for a new screen recording software that is easy to use & has the mouse thingy, but I also need it to record it so people who watch it on a video platform can read the screen (articles) along with me. And where I don't have to shrink the screen so they can read it, but then I can't.

This is very hard to find &, I think only Camtasia has that feature.

I tried to do a recording & when I played it back both on the video player & VLC, it came out slightly blurry. 🙁

I wish there were also screen annotations.

Thanks
