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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. ua-cam.com/video/f70hHn3v2Q8/v-deo.html
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 🙋🏻♀️
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 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
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 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 UA-cam 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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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!
Eveytime I tried to cut something it cuts only the half of my design. For example: If I suppose to cut words like: Elephant It only cuts upto “Elep” the rest it wont cut ? It cuts only few word on left side. Whats the problem brother? Any solution?
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
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 👌🏾👍🏿👍🏿
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.
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 🤩
Would you just press your Cut on the tshirt with the folio still on the vinyl or use transfer tape? Would realt like an answer im just Helping my mom to g’et her cameo working😂
I’m not sure what your asking exactly but the only thing i can say is do everything to fail proof your press. Remove everything you don’t want on the shirt. Only press what you are supposed to press. The only execution would be heat tape for holding things in place or a transfer sheet. Anything else off the shirt.
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.
The color wasn’t already there. The picture was there. Silhouette can’t do anything with the picture l, you have to trace the picture/ image and recreate it into something that the software can cut. I traced it to recreate it then deleted the original picture then added the color to the traced outline, recreating the image. I think that’s what happened. Lol idk I have over 100 videos. Sorry.

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
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.
Thanks Alan, I just bought a Cameo 4 and watched your video to see how this is done. You're a star, very informative.
" 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 👍
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.

We starting a little business and your video help us!! Thank you
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.
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
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.
you explain things so well I cannot retain info so glad I ran across your page
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!
“I didn’t read the instructions yet, but here’s a how to video”...lol. Good video none the less. Thanks!
once you get the point lines just click the simplify button which make clean lines
Good stuff right here... unboxing my Cameo 4 tonight
Thank you great video so easy to learn
I love the little compartment that is at one side opposite from the control panel cool for the blade.
IM LATE been watching your video since you started i use the siplify tool and boom clear all the rugged edges

I've had mine for two weeks, I'm getting closer to actually cutting. Have you cut anything yet?
You taught me I can save $100 bucks buying the cameo 4 instead of cricut
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 😘
So do you need a color printer as well
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.

Just ordered mine Tuesday will be here next Monday I hope. Thanks for your help.

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.
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

Excellent content!!😍
Thanks to your amazing videos, I will be purchasing my very first Cameo 4 today! Can't wait to start desining!
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

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.
what settings did you use?
Great instructions. First timer...new subscriber. Will be purchasing. Thanks.
Great information..thank you for sharing!! I'll be purchasing my Cameo 4 in the next few days.
So it doesn’t damage the actual vinyl
Eveytime I tried to cut something it cuts only the half of my design. For example:
If I suppose to cut words like: Elephant
It only cuts upto “Elep” the rest it wont cut ? It cuts only few word on left side.
Whats the problem brother? Any solution?
What is the proper cut setting for heat transfer smooth?
Hi A Dubb, I'm having trouble finding your link. Can you please post it again. Also, what is the difference between the cameo and the cricut?
I have my logo on my phone how do I download and make a print for a shirt.
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
Can you print directly from your mobile phone to the cameo?
There's an Android app for Silhouette Studio but it seems like it has a bad UX, according to the reviews (I haven't tried it yet).
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 use gimp 2.0 or newer, you can use multiple point and zoom in on the pixel level. makes a nicer image.
I need to learn how is the best way to get my designs from my iPhone to the cameo 4.??
Great video! Thanks! 😁💪🏽
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
I love this...such a helpful video
Whats the best computer to do this with?
Hi Alan how to avoid the cutting mark on the provided mat?
Reduce the blade depth. If you have marks on the mat it’s cutting to deep.
@@adubbproductions where to reduce ? Sorry I’m still new
No problem. I made a video on how to get the right cut settings. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/GPq1_olyl6Q/v-deo.html
So, it says for mac & windows. Is this compatible with an iPad? The Bluetooth symbol on the far right makes me think so.
To get the full version on silhouette studio you need a full sized computer. Max or pc. iPad will not work unfortunately.
I want to cut out my stickers on finished sticker paper, because he didn't find the crop makers, what i do wrong?
So if I have too many extra points it won't cut correctly?
this was so helpful thank you
Your welcome. Thank you for watching.
You can also click S or simplify on the node mode.
Yes. Thanks you. Very good tip.
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.
hey, i need your help. what settings do you have your blade on?
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 🤩
Just purchased heat press and cameo from your link
What document do you use to make your design ? I only have word document.
Oh nvm, got it
What material you use what vinyl settings
Love your videos brother ur a good mentor.
🙏🏾 Appreciate that.

I love your videos thank you so much.
Would you just press your Cut on the tshirt with the folio still on the vinyl or use transfer tape? Would realt like an answer im just Helping my mom to g’et her cameo working😂
I’m not sure what your asking exactly but the only thing i can say is do everything to fail proof your press. Remove everything you don’t want on the shirt. Only press what you are supposed to press. The only execution would be heat tape for holding things in place or a transfer sheet. Anything else off the shirt.

question...after pressing trace...why press delete..if the color is already there?
The color wasn’t already there. The picture was there. Silhouette can’t do anything with the picture l, you have to trace the picture/ image and recreate it into something that the software can cut. I traced it to recreate it then deleted the original picture then added the color to the traced outline, recreating the image. I think that’s what happened. Lol idk I have over 100 videos. Sorry.
