In addition to the supplied video effects, VideoPad can also use VirtualDub plugins. Many VirtualDub plugins can be downloaded for free from 3rd-party web sites such as the ones listed at http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/free-plugins.html/.

Some examples of available plugins are:

Loading a Plugin

Once you've downloaded a plugin, select the clip and open the Video Effects. Scroll at the bottom until you find the Plugins section, then click Load Plugin. Click Load File(s)... to load the .vdf plugin file and click Open to add it to the list of plugins. Or select one or more plugins and click Unload File(s) to remove unwanted plugins from the list.

Using a Plugin Effect

Once a plugin has been loaded, it will appear in the pull-down list of effects in the Video Effects dialog. Select the plugin effect and click Add to apply it to a clip. Click Configure Plugin to change the parameters of the effect.

Support

VirtualDub plugins are 3rd-party software and are not tested by NCH Software. Plugins may cause instability in VideoPad. Please save your project before adding any plugins.

NCH Software offers no documentation of 3rd-party plugin features, and no support if a plugin doesn't work as expected.
