Tutorial:VideoPad Video Editor

Firstly, thank you for choosing VideoPad Video Editor. It really is the most wonderful video editor that I've found so far, packing so much punch in so small an installation.

Alright, let's move on.

Splitting clips

 * 1) Move the timeline cursor to the place where you want to split the clip.
 * 2) Click the Split button to the left of the timeline that corresponds to the track (there's one video track and several sound tracks.)

Unlinking sound clips from the video clip
Unlinking is essential to create voice-overs, and other circumstances where you only need the audio of the video.

In the audio track, right-click the clip and choose Unlink sound clips(s) from the menu.

Note that in default configurations, unless you move the soundclip from its original position in the timeline, it would still be 'linked' to the video (i.e. selecting the video clip will select the sound clips as well.) Then deleting the video will also delete the newly-unlinked sound clip. The easiest remedy is to move the sound clip a little to the left or right, and return it to its original position if desired.

Zoom and pan
Zooming and panning is also possible on image or video overlays.
 * 1) Select the clip that you want to zoom or pan.
 * 2) Click on the Effects tab, or the green star on the clip (if visible.)
 * 3) Click on Zoom.
 * 4) In the Applied Effects to the left, adjust the zoom on the starting point, the end point, the smoothness and ratio.
 * 5) *To pan, make sure the end zoom is in a different position from the starting zoom.
 * 6) *To zoom the clip out smaller than the video, drag the slider under the respective end point. This also applies vice-versa.
