    Haven't used this plugin for a long time, you refreshed my memory!
    I know that some youtubers add keyboard shortcuts in subtitles. It takes quite a long time, but if you add it and inform the viewer about it, it will make things easier for newbies. Still, you have the right to refuse, this is just an offer.

      I do add the keyboard shortcuts thought both in the video and in subtitles 🤔

    I'm curious, how would you apply this to a moving vehicle? The saber plugin is awesome and really want to use it to its full potential many thanks for the guides as well they are huge time savers and have helped me with several university projects

    • @SmertimbaGraphics
      @SmertimbaGraphics  4 місяці тому +1

      First you would need to track the object either with a mask or with motion tracker, then apply saber. It would be harder to do depending on the footage, but doable
