Zero-Length Video Export

Spike109

I am relatively new to VideoPad. I am running v13.45. (A recent update failed, but that's for another topic).

I created a new project and uploaded two short clips. The total time of the video should have been about 3 minutes. But when I exported the video, the export finished in a flash with no apparent errors. And when I went to the folder where I exported the video, I saw that the size of the mp4 file was only 8KB. And when I played the mp4 file, there was nothing there. It was a video of 0 seconds.

Any clue what might be causing this?

Thanks,

What export format did you use?

Test the latest - even if unregistered. You can always revert. For one-time 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.

Let's take a look at the project, which is the best and fastest way of finding out what's wrong. Just follow these steps closely...

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 --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file.
Get link --- Get a public link. Right-click the file and click SHARE. When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view"
Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. 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.

With help from @[deleted], I was able to download and install and upgrade (for free) to v13.80. Now, the video export is working as expected.

Many thanks to @[deleted] for all the help and patience.
