Configure VideoMeld
Menu Command: Options | Configure VideoMeld
Use these settings to avoid compatibility problems. Some DirectX drivers cause floating point errors
or other exceptions.
- Window scheme
- Sets the colour and appearance of the program.
- Mouse wheel
- Sets the function of the mouse wheel. The wheel can be used to
zoom in or out, scroll tracks vertically, or scroll time horizontally. Select function to use from the drop down list.
- Mouse render
- Sets areas for preview rendering when the mouse is moved.
- None: no rendering is performed when the mouse is moved.
- Time line: full rendering is performed when the mouse is moved in the time line area just above the tracks.
- Time line and sections: same as above and section rendering
is perform when the mouse is moved in a section. Holding the Ctrl key causes rendering of all tracks up to the track the
section is in rather than just the section alone. A fast system with an SSD drive is recommended for this setting.
- Audio editor
- Sets the program to use for editing an audio file contained in an audio section. Use Edit | Open In Editor
to open the section's file for editing.
- Video file cache size
- Sets the number of video files to keep open. Keeping video files opened speeds up processing, screen updates (timeline scrolling),
and playback, but uses more memory. Caching 5 HD videos requires about 1GB of memory.
- FFmpeg/Libav folder
- Sets the folder where FFmpeg/Libav modules are located. Please note that GoldWave Inc. does not provide
support for FFmpeg/Libav issues. The Download button
downloads and installs a copy of the LGPL version of the Libav modules. The Download button is disabled if
decoders are already installed. To reinstall the decoders, clear the folder and restart VideoMeld.
See Using FFmpeg Modules
for details and legal requirements.
- DirectX software emulation mode
- Avoids the DirectX driver and uses the standard Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP). This
avoids a lot of problems with unstable and unreliable DirectX drivers (which unfortunately most are).
You must restart VideoMeld when changing this setting. This option may be slower than using the driver, but
is significantly more stable on many systems.
- Ignore math errors
- Ignores division-by-zero errors caused by faulty DirectX drivers.
