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.
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.
