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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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 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. ruclips.net/video/f70hHn3v2Q8/видео.html
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.
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
@@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
Adubb quick question I have a cannon printer I dont know if this is a dumb question but can I print an image off there for use to the silhouette 4.. if so what type Paper do I use? for the printer that still can be heat pressed.. the paper I use is my question
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 🙋🏻♀️
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.
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
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!
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.
🙏🏾 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.
Thank you for showing me how to use these features. I just received my Cameo 4 today. I still do know how to use my Cameo. I got stuck trying to figure out how to do a test page. I'm to tired will try again tomorrow. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks Twiin Tammy
Twiin Tammy I agree, Amazon dropped my Cameo 4 off yesterday, i set it up, but now I’ve just been sitting here staring at RUclips tutorials..lost and confused 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
@@twiintammy2185 Buy cheap vinyl and start small with just test cutting your name first. If you don't start small then everything will be overwhelming.
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 🤩
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.
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 👌🏾👍🏿👍🏿
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
I'm guessing the cameo 4 is the standard, vs. the cameo 4 plus? I'm looking to buy one, am just getting started and wondering which one to purchase. From your link, of course ;)
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.
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.
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.
To delete the unneeded points, just click the simplify option once you have all the points showing.

Bob Fitzpatrick I use release compound path and it takes away all the points. Helps so much!

What does simplify do on a multipoint object? In some other software I use, that will remove un-needed points
Awesome

You can also click S or simplify on the node mode.
Yes. Thanks you. Very good tip.
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 😍🥰🤗🎊

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.
I love the little compartment that is at one side opposite from the control panel cool for the blade.
when sliding the wheel do you see the little cut outs on the bar ? thats where it locks "left side you can see them" 5:32

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.
Do you have to have the register setting on? If so can you show how to register it without failing?
Register? You mean cutting with registration marks. No. You gotta cut vinyl the regular way before you cut with registration marks.
I use gimp 2.0 or newer, you can use multiple point and zoom in on the pixel level. makes a nicer image.
Thanks to your amazing videos, I will be purchasing my very first Cameo 4 today! Can't wait to start desining!

Try to use the Simplify points to reduce the number of points in that design, then edit if you see it not aligned.
