Cyclic glow/exposure matched to music beat

Fighter

Hello, currently I have to split the video in parts and add glow to each of them, which is highly time consuming. Most of the times I need video to flicker with beats of applied music.

Is there a better way to make glow/exposure light every second, half or so? Thanks for the VideoPad.

Play the music and press 'J' on each beat, to quickly create splits at the beat points.

Select all the clips <ctrl-a> or select the first, hold down <shift> and select the last.

Add the glow effect and plot a fade...

Click the Replace Effects Chain icon pointed to by the white arrow, above, to apply the effect to all selected clips.

The result..

Thanks, this narrows time by some extent, but I'd like to see some cyclic glow option in future.

Since I can't even split tracks while it's playing to catch the beat.

Sure you can - split clips. Press the letter 'l' on the beat as it plays.

In some cases, a split can be removed via the right-click menu while the pointer is on the split line.

Perhaps it depends on the version, cause it looks like this in my case (VideoPad 16.04)

I couldn't send a suggestion, when sending the page becomes unresponsive.

As for splitting while playing - version 16.09 and later allow that. Your registration may still be good for those releases. Ignore any virus warning.

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 is required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info. If there's an issue, you can always revert.

The current release is here.

Thanks, sent a suggestion from mobile. I think my desktop browser was firewalling me.
