Allan Wade has a great teaching style. By exploring, being vulnerable and finding things out as he goes along, he really shares how to explore and learn first hand. Thank you Allan!
To delete the unneeded points, just click the simplify option once you have all the points showing.
Two ways to delete extra points quickly; 1, to select multiple points, hold shift and hold left mouse button to draw a box around multiple points. Then delete.
2; select one point, you don't need to right click and hit delete. Just hit the delete key on your keyboard. And it will go to the next. You can keep hitting delete to delete multiple points in a row.
You're amazing. Thank you so much for your help! Very grateful.
Bob Fitzpatrick I use release compound path and it takes away all the points. Helps so much!
Thanks for the very informative information. I looking to buy one. 19 years ago I brought the Cricut machine, I made one thing and boxed it up never used it again. I finally gave it to my granddaughter a year ago. Hopefully she will have more fun with it. The Cameo seems easier to use.
What does simplify do on a multipoint object? In some other software I use, that will remove un-needed points
Awesome
I have learned more in this video than "playing" with my machine for four hours..... this has been amazing!!!! Thank you so much!! I don't feel so overwhelmed.
" I should be looking at the instruction booklet, but hey......." Yup. Good man. Throw away the book and wing it like the rest of us, ignoring all the recovered documents in studio software like a true pro. Real world video 👍
Thanks Alan, I just bought a Cameo 4 and watched your video to see how this is done. You're a star, very informative.
One way to remove the excess nodes is to 'make compound path' on the same editing screen as the nodes. A png image has pixels which are creating the jagged edges.
Thank for finding you. I just purchased the Cameo 4 and was lost as ever. I learned a lot tonight. I will be back for more learning.
Thanks for going through the design process and printing a sample. I like when we get to see the work and not just being told what it should do.
Thanks for this tutorial and explorative video Allan.
It seems everyone talks too much before starting, you talk while going through it, makes it so much more understanding.
You taught me I can save $100 bucks buying the cameo 4 instead of cricut
Thank you so much for being so detailed and not doing a lot of extra talking. I just bought a cameo on Sunday and was thinking about returning it because I couldn’t make the 1st cut. I’ll be watching more of your videos for help. Thanks again
No problem. Thanks for watching.
I just now ordered mine , I'll keep this vid saved , thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏 stay blessed
I bought this machine for myself for a Christmas present. I have had so much trouble with it, and especially the rolls. They just jam a ton- watching your video, it looks so much better than mine did. I have a lot to learn. I ruined a quite a bit of vinyl. Thank you again for your videos.
Wasted vinyl is a given when it comes to working with a new cutter. Eventually you work out the bugs to get things going to a smooth science. Good luck 🤞
☝🏾👍🏾
When using the points, use the Simplify in the points edit box to delete a lot of the points without having to delete one by one. It makes it much easier.
I am new to t-shirt making.. Lord willing I just purchased my camero machine, heat press and some vinyl. I am really excited and nervous. But I am going to pray and give it a try.
I’ve been wasting vinyl $$$ and this video was very informative! Thank you for sharing, now my silhouette cameo 4 prints correctly.
This is the first video I’ve seen that has been very helpful. I was just going to return my Cameo. Thank you so much.
Your welcome. Thank you for watching and thank you for the words of encouragement.
I was going to return minds
Did you get it figured out?
When selecting the points hold shift when selecting them to that way you delete them all at once but before you click your first point hold shift and don’t let it go until you select your last point you want to erase, also while having those points selected you should be able to “select similar” not too familiar with the program yet. But we learn as we go and we learn from each other
yes, good tip mike.
The best video tutorial ever! Thank you 😊
I love the little compartment that is at one side opposite from the control panel cool for the blade.
Thanks for teaching me how to trace. I’m just getting started. ❤️
The cover on the left side of the cutter (opposite of where the controls are) also slides open and you can store things in there.
Thanks. I made a video on that. Thanks i appreciate it.
@@adubbproductions Didn't realize that! Thanks!
Thanks for the info ! I just purchased one today and have no idea how to use it so doing my research now. I'm wanting to use it to cut vinyl. I have yet to get the heat press.
once you get the point lines just click the simplify button which make clean lines
Great5 video, I purchased the Cameo 4 Business edition a few weeks ago but have not used it as yet. I haven't used it as yet as I have not set up my area for it to be placed and also the idea of using it is a little daunting, as I am not tech savvy. I am doing my research first and came across this video, very good explanation of the process, thank you.
Not sure if you figured this out but you can get rid of the dots and make them smooth by selecting the image and clicking "detach lines". It's on the right side in the same menu where "subtract all", "divide", "weld", etc.. is. It will make your edges smooth.
It was informative and you came across natural in explaining
“I didn’t read the instructions yet, but here’s a how to video”...lol. Good video none the less. Thanks!
This video came in clutch!!!! Appreciate the guidance fam!
Thank you!!!..I have had my cameo for over a month and have been feeling like I made a mistake 😣 buying it. I really wanted to make t-shirts.
Thank you so much for giving me a little confidence to get my brand new Cameo 4 out and give it another go 😜. I had wanted one for over two years and went on amazon so, so many times to purchase it and just always chickened out thinking it would just be a waste of money. Then to my surprise my mother n father had known how bad and for how long I’ve wanted one so they completely surprised me for my Birthday back in November 2019 yes November and I have yet to cut anything out. All I’m mostly wanting to make are just text quotes and one word such as Farmhouse etc to cut on vinyl to transfer onto wood, then maybe learn to do the same to cut on heat transfers to make shirts. I know this Cameo can do and cut so many things but yet I can’t seem to feel confident enough to figure grouping words for a sign or just one word lol... Hopefully, I can do it this weekend for sure thanks to you. Fingers crossed and new subbie here 🙋🏻♀️
I've had mine for two weeks, I'm getting closer to actually cutting. Have you cut anything yet?
Your the best teacher ever thank you
Your welcome. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏾
You can flip your design in the software and it prints or cuts the correct way and you don't have to roll your vinyl... I just picked up my machine yesterday and haven't unboxed it yet 🤩
We starting a little business and your video help us!! Thank you
Good stuff right here... unboxing my Cameo 4 tonight
My cameo 5 arrived today. I am at work and can't wait to RIP open that box I have a you tube channel I will do an on unboxing later 😍🥰🤗🎊
Ha ha😂I ment cameo 4
You had me on google like. Cameo 5? 🧐 Is there something I don’t know about. Lol. Cool Donna. Congratulations. Can’t wait to see your unboxing.
receiving the heat transfer vinyl gloss side out protect the vinyl from damage, its irritating that it curves the other way, but i would rather that than damaged corners pulling up or scratches/slices in the vinyl itself. I apologise if you werent looking for an explanation as to why they do it
I have the cameo 3 and have constantly fought with HTV without a mat. It is challenging at times because of those pinch rollers.
That new cutter at the rear is an awesome addition as well as the feed roller.
I still think the feed roller could use work, but I had to pay extra for mine on the 3
to select multiple points, hold the shift button down and drag to select the points you want to delete. Click the simplify button on the point editing tool to delete most of the points.
Thank you. I use that often now. I appreciate it. 🙏🏾 Thanks so much for watching.
i am now shopping for a cameo and the silhouette.. i honestly do not know what is better. but I thank you so much for posting this..
Hey boo. Its a silhouette cameo 4. Silhouette is cameo 😘
You can also click S or simplify on the node mode.
Yes. Thanks you. Very good tip.
thanks for all the info. bro. i never knew about the compartments. and you gave good instructions on use of the cameo!! great video
Thank you.
I watched your video and was not as confused as with others. THANK YOU! However I still haven't even done anything with my Silhouette Cameo 4 other then take it out and get stressed. I haven't even taken stuff out of plastic. I wish someone was near me to show me in person. Ughhhh...Think I'm too old...need to stick with wood, glue painting and and sewing. Lol
You are never to old. That’s exactly why you got it. You can do it. Give it a tray and with your knowledge I have no doubt you will get it. Follow along with this video. th-cam.com/video/f70hHn3v2Q8/w-d-xo.html
@@adubbproductions Thank you. And thank you for replying
Hold down the shift while selecting the points and you'll be able to delete multiple points at the same time.
I just realized, It's been over a year since I found your channel, and it all started from a video about the cameo 3. I really enjoy all your other videos as well, keep up the great work. Dubb-Nation all the way! Can't wait to see new upgrades to the jeep, and your next real estate moves.
you explain things so well I cannot retain info so glad I ran across your page
I wish I would have found you before I bought my Cameo 4 and 2 SG500. I would have given you props....
Thank you so m7ch for the tutorial, I appreciate it so much. I am looking forward to more videos using my new printer!
No problem. I am glad you enjoyed it. More coming soon. Thanks for watching.
IM LATE been watching your video since you started i use the siplify tool and boom clear all the rugged edges
Boom. Yes. Simplify is clutch. 🙏🏾💪🏾👍🏾
The sound almost made me send mines back lol like why is it playing Mario kart music 😂
man im saying lol
cricut gets a 1 up on the silence
Thanks to your amazing videos, I will be purchasing my very first Cameo 4 today! Can't wait to start desining!
Just ordered mine Tuesday will be here next Monday I hope. Thanks for your help.
I thought our machine was broken bc of the noises, but I guess not! Gosh it sounds like it's on its last leg! First time using a cameo, so I dont know if this is how normally it sounds. But the cricut does not sound like this! I'm glad I found your video, I was about to call someone thinking something was wrong with my new cameo 4!
yep, that's the way they sound lol! I have Cricut and Sil. Cricut isn't as loud. But the Sil program is 1000 times better then Cricut program.
Appreciate it bro made it simple finna buy mine also thank you again !
No problem. Thanks for watching. Use my affiliate link if you don’t mind. Heat transfer warehouse ships super fast. Or you can use my Amazon affiliate link. Either or. Thanks bro.
Oh my gosh! If all else fails, read the directions. Lol. That's me too. What else is scarey is I completely understood you. Great video. Made me smile. Thanks. Nice to know I'm not the only one that talks to myself.
Try to use the Simplify points to reduce the number of points in that design, then edit if you see it not aligned.
Thank you great video so easy to learn
I'm new to vinyl print and sublimation, this was a great video, can't wait to watch more.
Vinyl is shiny side down. Waited to get show my appreciation so watch the commercial fully!!!
🙏🏾 Levite. Thanks bro. It is always shiny side down but have you tried flocked htv. I put it shiny side down and it was opposite. Smh. Blew my mind. I’m gonna double check but i showed it in one of my last videos. I think the one where i made all the youtube shirts.
@@adubbproductions yes I've used glitter flat before you can also sublimate on the white glitter.
Thank you for this, very well detailed information. Keep up the good work!
No problem, thank you for watching. I will.
It’s probably way too late for it to matter, but what I do when there are little jagged lines on my trace is separate the items and do offsets on them. Most of the time, the offset is smoother
Life As Lacey Lee thanks. Appreciate the advise. there is also a simplify option that smooths it out. Most times I forget to use it though.
I use gimp 2.0 or newer, you can use multiple point and zoom in on the pixel level. makes a nicer image.
Love your videos brother ur a good mentor.
🙏🏾 Appreciate that.
Thank you for thos video great details. I've been trying to think of how to make money during this crisis and I've been trying to find out what machine to get for making shirts. I'm ordering mines today 👌🏾👍🏿👍🏿
Im a new subscriber thank u so much my cameo 4 is on the way now i am scared the software is gonna be to hard thank u
Just take your time and watch a few tutorials and you will be fine. I am going to start making tutorials on it soon.
@@adubbproductions please im software dumb lol but i was in between getting a cricuit explorer air 2 or the silhouette cameo 4 so i picked the one with the hardest software
hey i am from the nicetown section of philly you have taught me alot thank you and keep up the good work thank you and god bless you
To make the point lines smoother, I use simplify.
Excellent content!!😍
Pro tip: use SVG or any vector images instead of pixel maps like JPEG/PNG, that way you'll guarantee having smooth lines (especially if you use the Inkscape extension like I do).
True indeed. Thank you for the tip.
@@adubbproductions No problem; I recently got one and realised that the only reliable way to cut stuff is to use the Inkscape extension because my OS isn't supported (although I still need to figure out how to get text to be auto-traced like the shapes).
That's funny you just said about the cameo 4 and the way the vinyl is rolled because it gets hung up on the opening lip and cause a jam. I know 🤣 pissed me off twice. I just did exactly what you did before I saw this video. I also put the image about 2.5 inches further down with no mat because everytime it moves back up to the top, the vinyl has a chance of jamming on that lip. I may just make something. It also wants to get caught on the back part also. They should roll it the other way when packaging.
Great information..thank you for sharing!! I'll be purchasing my Cameo 4 in the next few days.
why is my new cameo 4 so CRAZY NOISY!? tia :)
thought it was just me lol
It’s package to protect the transfer side. That’s why the shinny part is exposed when you get it. You welcomed.
omg thank you! made my first shirt thanks to this vid! can you make one with layering? Im trying to do a DBZ shirt and all the videos are so confusing, i dont know how to seperate the pieces of the image and how to do the colors, i feel like you would explain it so much better because you are very detailed. thanks again for this video! you are a life saver!
lol i just seen in your videos you have one with a DBZ image haha is it the same with a cameo 4 though?
Well thank you for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe. I appreciate it.
It’s generally the same. The only thing different is the machine. Treat them like the same machine and you shouldn’t have an issue.
I can’t find the video on layering for the life of me. You’re such a good teacher! I’d kill for lessons in person!
Click the delete point to make the star smooth
Great video.. about to do my first cut for my clothing brand thanks!! I subscribed
The down and up arrows are set that way to represent the rotation of the rollers.
This information was very informative and detailed. Thanks
very good cut
Great instructions. First timer...new subscriber. Will be purchasing. Thanks.
Just purchased heat press and cameo from your link
this was so helpful thank you
Your welcome. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful 👌
I love this...such a helpful video
He said Good Weed! 😭😂😂💯
thanks
No problem.
Great job
I have a 3 and I have the vinyl feeder roller attachment... I hardly use it. I use 15" rolls and just cut out 3 inches more than I need and let it hang down. I make sure it's straight and never have an issue
This video is so helpful thanks
That’s rolled that way to protect the vinyl so it doesn’t get damaged
I was going to say the same thing and it is also that way so that the oil from your skin doesn't affect the transfer so that it adheres to the fabrics properly.
This is so helpful thank you
Love your content
Thank you. I appreciate you being here
I love your videos thank you so much.
helpful video...thanks!
You can get rid of those extra nodes by using the simply feature of the point editing menu
Returned mine, the mat kept shifting during the print. Yes I had it clamped down. It worked fine for 1 day. Then constant shifting. Cameo 4 doesn't limit the size of print and cut like cricut. That's why I wanted the silhouette, but I wasted a lot of cardstock working with it. I'm done with both products for good.
I’m not mad at you at all. Gotta use what works best for you. If none of it works then hey.....
Good video bro thanks
If you hold down the shift key while clicking on the nodes
I would think that the Vinyl should have a recommended cut setting on the materials packaging. Do they? I see a lot of these video's where people are guessing what the cut depth setting should be. To me that seems like a very important piece of information that should be in large print somewhere on every package of HTV! Something like, Cut Depth should be set to 6mm or 5mm, if you don't set your cut setting correctly then you may destroy the HTV material' ect!! Sounds reasonable right!
Good point but unfortunately each machine requires different cut settings for whichever type material. The software is great as it lists types for you to select.
Heat transfer warehouse has recommended cut settings. I have settings that I use that work for me for regular vinyl but cut setting don’t matter when your boards gets dull and you have to adjust for not having a blade on hand and you have to fulfill am order. The best thing you can do for yourself is have the ability to figure out cut settings on your own in situations like what I just mentioned. It’s to every businesses benefit to be able to trouble shoot when they have any type of issue or your business might be at the mercy of relaying on someone else’s bold printed instructions. You don’t want that. Learn the equiptmet and how to adjust when things go wrong. Trust me, things will always go wrong. But yea, a-lot of vinyl comes with recommended cut settings either on a sticker on the vinyl (which will get lost after you use it a few times) or on the company’s website.
