I downloaded an icon sheet from CF and want to cut each icon out and turn into an svg file -- easy with your instruction, except now the icon is still on this huge sheet of paper. I just want the "huge sheet" of white to be small, tightly surrounding the icon.

Can you tell me what I might have did wrong because of this I was sitting and editing the video by putting the whole hour long video under each slide and having to cut out a section to represent that recording, but that’s proven to take too long so I may do it over again, but I just wanna know how to do it the right way if you can help me!

As I complete one, I just normally scroll down to the next blank T shirt. For some reason when I start to work on the next one. I end up showing one full white page with my work on it. I see the "duration" icon on the bottom left side of the screen To get myself back to normal I press the icon showing the oblong box with a dash above it. I press that and everything goes back to normal, one work above the other, the way I want it to. As soon as I start work on it. It jumps to the single screen with all my logos on the bottom.
