There are several unlicensed versions of the program.

(Fortunately, I was able to regain access to the photos once I put them back in the original folder that Videopad was referencing, but it would be nice to be able to have the project keep all photos, audio and video files that comprise a video in the vpj. PS: another glitch that was was frustrating is that if move photos used in the Videopad project to another folder (but still on the same computer), VideoPad no longer can find them. I initially was feeling pretty positive about using the free demo version of Videopad, but if you can't even export your work to a file format that can be used to share with others, it's very deceiving to call the program 'free'. So, it appears that I've wasted a lot of time, unless there is some sort of workaround someone can kindly suggest.

I even encountered problems trying to simply export/save as an .mp4 and .mov format files on my computer: the first and second times I watched it on Windows Media player, the video was missing photos/effects that were showing on the NCH Videopad previewer, then after the second attempt, I got the notice that I had to buy purchase a registration code (regardless of what export format, even the more basic mp4). (Audio was mp3, photos jpg.) After many hours of hard work, the video looks good in the project preview screen, but I was unable to export it directly as a Youtube video after a couple of attempts. Hello, I was attempting to create using the free demo version of NCH Videopad v 7.51 to create and post to Youtube video of a 15.5 minute medley of songs I recorded inspired by a recent trip to Italy with cell phone photos and videos I took while there.
