@@meaghanlarsen1618 you have to uninstall under your computer programs. On Windows type uninstall in the bottom search bar on the computer.

@@LollyPalooza yea. When they did the website migration it duplicated a lot of things.

You are welcome!

I just tested it and it works as it should. I subscribe and then it goes to Google & there is a download arrow in the top right corner to download to your computer.

Are you downloading to a computer?

@@SilhouetteSecrets Yes on my computer.

In the zipped folder you will find the .studio file, the .svg and the terms of use. This file is a direct download. You will need to unzip/extract the folder downloaded in order to open the file. This file can be opened by using File > Open and selecting the .studio file or drag and drop from the saved location on your computer onto the Silhouette workspace or into a shape on the workspace.

@@SilhouetteSecrets Following your instructions, I got it. lol Thank you so much for this fun project. I got to thinking that making them small enough you could use on Holiday cards and ephemera in a journal for winter scenes. Feel free to pass these ideas along to others.

The first things I would recommend is making sure the blade is installed properly and adjusting correctly. th-cam.com/video/Qec-SNhLCzw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3YAA70ctZ6I3mlYq Next, use good quality cardstock and watch that the blade adjusts each time. For the ES Mat, I make sure the paper is secure before I send the design, it should not move at all. Heavy cut settings can cause it to shift. Settings really just depend on the actual cardstock and can vary by brand, color, blade life, etc.

Thank you! Fun to make!

@@melinjones3569 it is an adhesive laminate sheet that I applied before cutting.

@@JEPBradbury yay! So glad to hear that!

@@sharontuckerlewis7325 I am using a Canon TS9521C printer, but any good quality photo printer should work well. If you have a current printer, I'd recommend starting with it and practicing. Thanks so much! This comment made my day. If only I understood math as well as I do cutting machines 😂😂😂

@@trinamartin8985 no. It is not compatible with the older models as they do not have the technology or power to run it.

@@lisaanderson1788 first, you can easily move it around the design mat to cut where you want it to & it's faster than moving the default test cut. And second, it has corners, straight lines, and curves that are being cut, so it covers the majority of what a design would have. This explains more silhouette-secrets.com/test-cut-2/

@ thank you much appreciated 😊

@lisaanderson1788 you are welcome!

The work around is to buy the svg from the designer and not steal their files. If you use the actual svg file, you don't have that restriction. Buying the .studio file does not give you the rights to use that to create a svg file.

@@SilhouetteSecrets Thanks for the quick reply! But you're WRONG. The workaround is free Inkscape software. Does automatic vector tracing and SVG export and unlike Designer is completely free. Also, it has NOTHING to do with stealing anything, it's the ability to export a bloody SVG that you yourself drew in Designer.

@smalltowns my mistake. You commented on my export restriction video for .studio files and that what I thought you were complaining about. Yes, you can use other programs to create SVGs, many do.

@SilhouetteSecrets I will try both. I wonder if I can try from my phone. I'll try that too.

@SilhouetteSecrets oh I'm so happy, it worked from my phone! The company should hire you and pay you big bucks to help with our simple problems 💕. Thanks so much! I'm heading back to your other videos now to get more out of my machine.

@juliegallagher4377 yay! So glad that worked and you can get in. That tells me something in the web browser history is stuck.

What size cutting mat are you using? Or what size media? Where it begins cutting is dependent on the setup - smaller than 24" materials set up in the software and it affects where the cut starts. This explains more - silhouette-secrets.com/2021/02/06/5-steps-to-setting-up-and-troubleshooting-the-cameo-pro/ Make sure you have the Show Cut border checked so you know where it will cut. It should line up to what is on the screen... however, there have been bugs in some software versions that affect it as well.

@@mamejohnston1 you are welcome!

Yes - any version of software of v4.5.735 or higher will recognize a Cameo 5. Uninstall that version and reinstall v4.5.812. www.silhouetteamerica.com/software/legacy/id/3

What materials do you cut?

@@SilhouetteSecrets I just realized I meant to comment on the video you did about the two brands, my apologies! I mainly cut vinyl and htv.

@ I just realized I meant to leave this comment on the video you did talking about both brands, I apologize. But I mainly cut vinyl and htv. I don't do a whole lot with cardstock.

@@Diamondpainting_Chelle both can cut those materials. I would say that Siser Romeo (or Juliet) are better at intricate designs - however, that is only if the user is willing to take the time to learn proper machine usage and setup. The user is in charge of everything and is control of it. Once it's set up and the user is comfortable with it, then it's amazing what it can do. But, both brands will cut those materials. With Siser machines, you are in charge of more.

@ thank you!! That totally makes sense. I know with either option it'll be an adjustment. But it’s like I always tell my kiddo, you won’t learn if you don't practice 😊

I couldn’t disagree more. I have had 2 Cricut Maker3’s (going on my 3rd) as my second replacement). The Calibration is terrible, awful precision not to mention absolute lack of Customer service when issues do arise. I’m done wasting my time and money on Cricut. Cameo5 is showing up to be much more superior especially in the print then cut arena.

@ I was thinking of getting either a cricut maker or silhouette c5 and I am going to go with another silhouette. They are not perfect either but I have always had a silhouette and this confirmed my choice. So the video helped me choose as I can see the Cricut maker is not better than the SC5

@@kathicreveling2662 thank you! I'm so glad it helped!

Yes! Don't believe all the video magic that you see. Projects can take much longer than the short videos people post to TH-cam or a reel and they may not always turn out the first time.

@@dr.margiea.hinojosa3282 are you doing a manual detection? If not, I would recommend you do it so you can see the number or measures. If it's glossy vinyl, you may need to place a flat piece of copy paper on top to get the height detection to read correctly. The optical eye bounces off shiny materials.

@ I tried it. It still isn’t working. 😭

Every brand and type would vary... test cuts will be your best friend in this case, but I'd start with the Texture Cardstock setting to test.

What we've noticed is that the protective sheets are not uniform, so one package may be different than another.... just something to be aware of since this was first released. You could try to mark it with a permanent marker and see if it stays, but it will probably come off... at least with use. But, it's not a bad idea to try.

​@@SilhouetteSecretsThank you for your quick reply. I saw a (short) video where someone filmed the electrostatic bed looking down from above, and it looked like you would need about as much space as with a regular mat. I think I will give it a try.

@ralphm9365 the electristatic mat properly needs a bit more space that is completely flat and level. But I think it's worth it if you cut a lot of cardstock. It has saved me some time.

@@ralphm9365 this may help too th-cam.com/video/L0t5EXzItRk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kYRkTd_PfdEc_1DN

​@@SilhouetteSecrets Thank you so much for this tip. Now I know a lot more about the electrostatic bed. Today was a very 'productive' day: I tried to recycle some 8x20 inches cardboard scraps and I cut directly into my mat because I didn't realize that the orientation was set to landscape and I put the cardboard in portrait. Then I experienced that you can't just scale a sticker down from 3,5 inches to 1 inch without checking what the smallest cutouts end up in size. I needed about 10 minutes to clean up the mat from all the tiny bits. At the end I ended up using a soft brush and warm water to clean the mat. Sometimes I get this feeling I just should have stayed in bed instead... 🤣Today I'm pretty sure the plotter and I won't become friends, but ther's always tomorrow as they say.

Get a new cutting mat and then use that one for something else like a painting mat, etc. The glue is water soluble and should not be washed. Here are some tips to getting the most out of your cutting mats - silhouette-secrets.com/2019/02/12/tips-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-silhouette-mat/
