Unable to edit text clip

dee100

Double click clip, is on alef 8, change to arial bold 4, keeps going back to former. cannot move the text position either.

Also, The other 2 text clips are not on the time line or anywhere, so cannot edit them either. They are showing on the screen.... most exasperating and annoying. How can I edit these 2 other clips??

I clicked the text to be bottom of screen but it is almost centre of screen.

When text clips are created, they are usually placed on a higher (overlaid) track on the timeline. If not, manually drag them to the timeline from the Image bin (at screen top-left). Open the text composer by double-clicking on the clip in the bin or on the timeline.

Rarely, text positioning using the buttons isn't reflected in the text composer window, but is on the timeline. Text can also be positioned by dragging it in the preview window.

In order to edit text features, such as color, font, edging, etc. SELECT (highlight) the text first, then make changes.

2 of the 3 text clips showing on my video are not in image bin or anywhere

I highlighted text before changing, font size does not change....

You say "showing on my video." Do you see this when your project is on the timeline - with its individual clips? Or have you loaded a previously exported video file of the project?

If the former, be sure that the timeline is expanded with the slider at the bottom-right. If the project has multiple clips, individual clips may not show on the timeline until that's done. Any clip on the timeline must also be in a bin. Text clips will be in the image bin, as shown in the video above.

If this is instead a video, exported and brought back into Videopad, then the original text clips are no longer editable, as the file is now just a single clip.

Size_change.mp4 The size change works fine here. Reinstall the program, or install the latest. 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. If you take a few minutes to share your project, someone will check it out.
