Nch Videopad Tutorial

[Edie Staniszewski]

Im totally brand new to VideoPad. I have a long video that I'm trying to edit into shorter clips that I can then sequence or export as stand alones. I've watched the basic tutorial movies like the Video Editor tutorial =E4Qoe43YYDU and How to trim video. I see how to set start and end points and how to split.

From the VideoPad Video Editor Tutorial GUI Overview video on the NCH Software youtube channel, I was trying to use the Clip preview pane to do my first-pass editing. Just to confirm there is no way to scroll the timeline from the clip preview pane?

There are many ways to trim clips. If you want to create many discrete clips from a single clip, first right-click the bin clip and COPY. Then right-click in an open area of the bin and PASTE (clip). Do this as many times as needed.

Then select one of the copies and in the preview window drag the red scrubber line to where you want to begin, and click SET START. Drag it to where you want to end and click SET END. Then use the ADD button (or click its chevron, for choices) to place the clip on the sequence or drag it there. Each copy can have different IN/OUT points.

Another method is to place an entire clip on the sequence, then split out the parts that aren't needed. If a clip is dragged from the timeline back to the bin, a copy is made and it vanishes from the timeline. But if (EDIT UNDO) is then pressed, the clip returns to the timeline and the copy is retained in the bin.

To download, head to the VideoPad homepage. Find the Get it Free paragraph to download the home non-commercial version, or use this direct link. The installer is a one-click process, so you'll be running the VideoPad editor in no time.

On the welcome dialog, click New Project to open a blank project. You can uncheck the Show this dialog box if you don't want to see this welcome message every time. Once you jump in, you'll notice the slick dark theme, new to VideoPad version 6.

From here, it's time to edit your first video. If you prefer learning by videos, VideoPad has links to YouTube tutorials built right in. Just click the Video Tutorials entry on the welcome dialog, or use the Video Tutorials tab on the preview pane to access them.

To begin, you'll need to import at least one video clip. To do so, just drag and drop a file from your computer onto the Bin pane on the left. If you'd like, you can drag some audio files on the pane too. VideoPad also includes stock sound effects; click Add Stock Sound under the Audio tab.

On the big video pane to the right, you'll see a preview of your video on the Sequence Preview tab. Choosing Clip Preview lets you preview individual audio or video files instead. Use the play controls to preview how your in-progress video looks anytime.

In any clip, you may wish to split the video so you can insert something in between it. Click any point along the Timeline at the bottom of the screen to move the red cursor to that point, then hit the Split button. This will divide one clip into two, allowing you to move them separately.

To edit the video and audio from a video separately, right-click a clip on the Timeline and choose Unlink from Audio/Video. This will separate them and allow you to manipulate them where you wish. It's useful for completely replacing a video's audio, for example.

Hover your cursor at the start or end of a clip, and it will turn into a bracket symbol. Here, you can drag to change where the clip begins or finishes, letting you easily trim it. At the start of the timeline, you'll also see a handy Fade In button.

After you've split a video or imported multiple files, you'll find a Transition button between them on the Timeline. Click it to change how the two blend into each other. You have a host of options, including fades, reveals, patterns, and more. Hover over one for a small preview, and use the box in the bottom-right to change the duration. Click the one you like to add it.

While you can import images from your PC, VideoPad provides a few additional options. On the Clips tab of the menu bar, you'll see an Add Blank option. This lets you add a simple colored background, useful for adding text. It goes into your Images bin and you can drag it onto the Timeline to use it.

After picking one, you can enter the text you'd like, plus change the font and color. If it's an animated choice, you can select how it moves. Once you confirm the settings, the effect goes into the appropriate Bin for easy access.

Anyone who's worked with videos knows about the handy green screen, which allows you to remove part of a video and layer another video in it. For instance, weather broadcasts commonly use this to overlay the weather map behind the presenter. Select Video Effects > Green Screen, and you can set one up in VideoPad.

A handy new feature in VideoPad 6 is the color picker. In the Green Screen dialog, you'll see a Color box. It defaults to green, but you can click it to select any color you'd like to mask out. You can select other settings here to get your green screen just right.

Select the Export Wizard if you need some help deciding which option to use. For general use, we recommend choosing Video File if you'll be saving the video for posterity or uploading to YouTube. If you plan on burning the video to a disc, you can choose a Blu-ray or DVD option instead.

In the export settings, you can choose where to save your video and its parameters. Use the Detect option and VideoPad will automatically detect the best resolution and frame rate based on your video.

If you're not sure what format to use, choose HD 1080p if you were working with HD video to begin with. MP4 is a great file format for general use and compatibility.

If you like, VideoPad can automatically upload your video to YouTube or Facebook for you, or cloud storage like Dropbox and Google Drive. Choose one of those options from the menu and you'll be prompted to link your account.

We've taken a tour of VideoPad Video Editor's most useful features. If you're an average user and don't need expensive video-editing software, VideoPad is a great option. It offers an easy-to-use interface, has the features you'll need, and includes tons of export options. Give it a try the next time you need to trim some video clips, add effects, or replace audio.

Preview: Want to add Spotify songs to VideoPad for editing? This post is exactly what you need. It will walk you through the best way to transfer any Spotify tracks to VideoPad as you wish.

VideoPad is a customer-level video editor which is developed by NCH Software. It is easy to learn and to use, while it also combines the most beneficial features you may need. It works with WavePad, which is a sound-editing program, MixPad, a sound-mixing program, and PhotoPad, an image editor. VideoPad supports those most popular formats, but the Ogg Vorbis format of Spotify is not on the list. So, if you plan to put Spotify tracks into VideoPad directly, you will get disappointed however you try.

The good news is you are able to add Spotify music to VideoPad Video Editor today. What you only need to do is to follow every step in this post and I promise everyone can manage to transfer Spotify music to VideoPad Video Editor.

Since Spotify songs are protected in Ogg Vorbis, you need to change Ogg Vorbis of Spotify to that is admitted by VideoPad. Now you only need a Spotify converter. Note that not all audio converters can do this job for you. iTunes can convert audio to formats like MP3, but it does not support Spotify songs. Do not worry. To save time for you, we find a Spotify converter that exactly meets your need.

ViWizard Spotify Music Converter is what you need. It is a dedicated tool that is designed for Spotify music downloading and converting.

More also, all the converted Spotify track quality and ID3 tag info will be kept the same as the original files.

Get all the preparation ready? If so, you can start to convert Spotify to VideoPad Video Editor. If not, download Spotify and VideoPad from the official websites and install ViWizard with the green Download button above. Then follow the 3 easy steps to convert Spotify files.

Launch ViWizard Spotify Music Converter and the Spotify app on your computer will be opened by ViWizard automatically. Browse the Spotify library to find the song that you want to use in VideoPad.
