Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us!! I second (or third) the comments about the background music - it's super distracting. I prefer no background music, especially when watching instructional videos where I'm trying to pay attention and listen to what's being explained.
Ironically just seeing this video after i just got the MK-2 as of noon(EST) 12/2 (Got it right when it released) and after using it for the last two hours before making this post. All i can say is i LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Well worth the nearly 600$ after shipping! Would LOVE to see what you can do with it given ive been using your videos for a while now on things i have gotten stuck on!
Thank you. Good to know. I have to wait. I'm packing up to move. My machines are already put away. I won't be able to test it by making things. By the time I finish and complete my move, hopefully, the new version has no bugs left.
Thanks for the walkthrough I will download the Beta version, I love an appreciate your videos so much, but a little note about the background music, I think it is a little too laud. ❤
Fully agreed on the music. I think intro music is awesome... but it's a bit irritating to hear it at all during instruction. I know everyone is made different though... but I do enjoy your music-less videos over any with the constant music. I enjoy your instruction because I have learned so much through your experience. I am thankful that you take the time to share your knowledge. Thank you for all you do.
mine is super buggy an im not likein the new cutt when using more then one its super nerve racking because you have to click twice on each an it reads them all like there all being used its very stressful im goin to see if i can go back to old hopefully they fix this prob also when i grab one thing it grabs the whole page ug
@@silhouettesuccess If ever you see things that should be changed, pass them on to me as I am part of the Beta testing group. I will bring the suggestion up
Trace looking like a piece of toast 😂 thanks for this, I was waiting for someone to do an overview before I downloaded it! I will probably download it.
I am going to download the beta version on my 2nd laptop and keep the other laptop using the version I have downloaded previously. That way I can compare them. I have windows.
What do you think about the Cameo Pro MK-II? Is it quieter than the Siser Romeo? Seems like the new roller design might help ensure larger cuts are done more accurately? Thanks for the info on the new software!
It looks fabulous! I have it in my cart on the Silhouette website as I type this. I just need to complete the purchase. I'm trying to decide how long it will take my bank account to recover. 🤣
I'm going to wait for the first stable release. I've been having issues with my Cameo 5 not cutting correctly and been back and forth with support for months. It all started following a firmware update! 😢
@silhouettesuccess The embossed and cut lines don't match up and for sone reason, it cuts short front to back... I cut a 5½" square and it came out 3/32" shorter top to bottom? I tried cut calibration but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Thank You for the very interesting update, I'll stay where I am for the moment, Does V5 mean is works better on Cameo 5..... I have the Cameo 3 still (love it)
SS and Mac don’t get along well. I’m going to download the beta in hopes it helps them fix problems, hasn’t worked properly since the beginning of 4. I need to check OS first to see if it’s compatible. I use my Mac most but have a pc in case things go bad lol. Wish me luck!
@@neqo7723 Well if you know how to use and own Illustrator, SS can only be a hassle for you. You are one of the few that have that software and it would be a shame not to use it. SS is not on the same level, but an in-between cut management and designing... Can't do everything !
@@studioplanetesilhouette I have Sonoma don’t want to update to newest os either. My menu titles disappear and have to restart numerous times to get them to show up or reinstall software. I lose about 400 fonts from fontbook when I open SS. They are still available to use but I use fontbook to sort my fonts so I know which have glyphs available. I have contacted support but no help. At least now print n cut works. Haven’t had time to download beta yet but really hoping to get joy soon!
I was going to get the cricut maker 3.. but really want the Cameo 5 instead.. But i was told if I wanted to use my phone or iPad I should get the cricut.. but that video that said that was over a year ago.. can I use my iPhone or iPad with the app/software for the cameo 5? Thanks
You'll want to check out Silhouette Web. That is an online version of Silhouette Studio, but it has limited features. It is still in beta testing, but available to the public. The computer based version is much more robust. You will also need the Silhouette Go app to send from Apple products to your machine.
Yes with the silhouette web beta website. Just not as advanced as the sudio version but far better than cricut software despite it is at beta stage. On apple iphone/ipad there is a limitation, browers can’t access bluetooth so you need to download the app silhouette go. From silhouette web when you will send your job, it will send it to silhouette go and you will be able to cut your design
Another question for you. cameo 4 pro When the cartridge moves to the left it moves back to the right to the correct starting position but when I hit start the cartridge moves about a 1/4" to the right before it starts cutting.
I accidentally downloaded V5. Long story.🤦🏻♀️ Anyway, does anyone know how to make something NOT cut? There was a no cut feature in other versions and I can’t find it in this one. I’m trying to make a sticker. I offset it so I only want the offset to cut not the inner part. Am I explaining this well enough? Sometimes it’s easier to show than to tell.
I just found you, and I’m interested! However, the music is extremely annoying. I have tinnitus, so the music is just another noise making it very hard to concentrate on what you’re saying.
@silhouettesuccess I couldn't see anything either unless an upgrade to business would do it 🤷♂️. I know it's not a big issue but when I have the motivation to start it's much nicer to launch straight into a design view and get started.. its the little things lol. Thanks for looking for me too 😊
I may give this a try if it is faster than the current live version. I invested in the software (business edition) because I was told by a few people that it was faster than design studio, but I have been experiencing the exact opposite. There are even some features that I have tried using while following the online tutorials that were completely none functional (creating arched text to name one). With all of the issues I've encountered I don't spend much time there. Can the beta version be downloaded as a separate install while leaving the live version intact?
Only one version of the software can be installed, unfortunately. It is pretty easy to switch back and forth, though. What are the specs on your computer? Silhouette Studio is a resource hog. LOL
The home screen is new, and a few things are in different spots. You would need it if you are new to Silhouette because it offers a lot more guidance through the process. And if your eyes are bad, like mine... It is a lot easier to see the icons.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us!! I second (or third) the comments about the background music - it's super distracting. I prefer no background music, especially when watching instructional videos where I'm trying to pay attention and listen to what's being explained.
Your video's are very informative, but the repetitive looping of the background music is becoming a distraction. Just thought you would like to know.
I'll be downloading V.5. Love a little adventure! :) Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the update. Probably going to wait a bit to download.
I'll try to keep everyone updated if there are any snags, bugs, or glitches.
Enjoy the videos I have watched; looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for the informative video! Any way to skip the library download and Home Screen, going directly to Design?
Love your teaching. I have downloaded and using V5.
It took a minute for me to get used to it, but I love it now.
Oh goodness, I am so excited for this new update! I downloaded V5 and will be getting familiar with it. Thank you for this video
I’m not feeling so adventurous yet. I just got the cameo 5 & will need to learn this plus I’m still learning the original business v-4. Thanks

I'm going to take the plunge! My bank account can just cry about it 🤣
@@silhouettesuccess But to be fair The 24* inch deck will surely make it worth while for all the fancy crafts and things it can do!
Thank you for the information. I’ll have to wait for the public version since the rhinestone panel has issues and I use it a lot. Thanks again❤
Thank you. Good to know.
I have to wait. I'm packing up to move. My machines are already put away. I won't be able to test it by making things. By the time I finish and complete my move, hopefully, the new version has no bugs left.
Moving is so stressful. I hope everything goes smoothly for you!
Thanks, Brenda for the information. I may try it out!
I think I'm getting to like it. The large icons are good for my old eyes. LOL
Thanks for the update and walk thru
You're welcome! I've been playing around in there a bit. Slowly getting used to it.
Downloaded while witching this video and excited to start cutting..hopefully it cuts even better
Thank you for sharing the new beta V5 - however I am going to wait on making the leap.
Thanks for the walkthrough I will download the Beta version, I love an appreciate your videos so much, but a little note about the background music, I think it is a little too laud. ❤
I can never get the volume right. I apologize!

oh nooooo.... they changed the toast !!! 😂
BTW Thanks for walk thru .👌
The butterfly is now showing its best profile... not face... lol
🤣🤣 One of the first things I noticed!
It looks much better now!😍
@@silhouettesuccess Yup ! It is not smashed on the ground anymore ! It can fly and its left profile looks so much better than the right one !
@@silhouettesuccess If ever you see things that should be changed, pass them on to me as I am part of the Beta testing group. I will bring the suggestion up
Trace looking like a piece of toast 😂 thanks for this, I was waiting for someone to do an overview before I downloaded it! I will probably download it.
🤣 Every trace video for V4!!
Great explanation. Thanks. I'll probably download beta soon
I'm getting used to it, and I've had no issues so far. I think I like it. 🤣
Absolutely love your tutorials. But I admit it is a struggle to focus when there is background music. Maybe it's just me...sorry.
Not just you 🙂
Me too, sorry can’t watch
@@Salialto Yup, I have to admit I noticed this too. Okay for intro/outro, but I prefer without during main portion.
When I import a file it doesn't keep its original size it's magnified a lot not good when working with different color designs
Ill be downloading it to have a play as I’ve still not decided which machine ill be investing in
I noticed when playing on the new version, that there is no knife tool yet.
I am going to download the beta version on my 2nd laptop and keep the other laptop using the version I have downloaded previously. That way I can compare them. I have windows.
That's a good idea! My gave my laptop to my husband, or I would do the same.

Does anyone know where the 5. 0 version is manually registered?
I'm going to wait for the first stable release. I've been having issues with my Cameo 5 not cutting correctly and been back and forth with support for months. It all started following a firmware update! 😢
Oh no!! What is it doing?
@silhouettesuccess The embossed and cut lines don't match up and for sone reason, it cuts short front to back... I cut a 5½" square and it came out 3/32" shorter top to bottom? I tried cut calibration but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
hello there!
how can i change the language in the program
Hi, thank you for the video; I downloaded beta and rhinestones move too far apart when using arrow keys and wouldn’t move at all using mouse.
Thank you for posting that information. I’ll wait until they finish it out as I use rhinestone panel a lot.
I downloaded it! Thanks!
Hope they fix the nesting bug.
Thank You for the very interesting update, I'll stay where I am for the moment, Does V5 mean is works better on Cameo 5..... I have the Cameo 3 still (love it)
I think there were changes for the MKII. The software had been updated last year for the cameo 5.
What differance does the V5 software make. If you're using a Cameo 3 machine?
SS and Mac don’t get along well. I’m going to download the beta in hopes it helps them fix problems, hasn’t worked properly since the beginning of 4. I need to check OS first to see if it’s compatible. I use my Mac most but have a pc in case things go bad lol. Wish me luck!
Fingers crossed! Keep me posted.
If you have Ventura, you will have to wait. They are working on it being compatible.
Yes SS is horrible on Mac. I switched to the silhouette connect plugin for illustrator and it has been the best investment for my small business yet.
@@neqo7723 Well if you know how to use and own Illustrator, SS can only be a hassle for you. You are one of the few that have that software and it would be a shame not to use it. SS is not on the same level, but an in-between cut management and designing... Can't do everything !

I'll be downloading V.5.
Do you know of a way to bypass all the pomp and get right to the work screen? Thanks.
I looked in the preferences and didn't see an option to skip it.
@@silhouettesuccess Thank you
I can't find the print and cut boarder boxes to check, do you know how to find them?
If you are running V5, they have moved to the second tab of the Page Setup Panel.
@@silhouettesuccess Thank you very much
Another question for you.
cameo 4 pro When the cartridge moves to the left it moves back to the right to the correct starting position but when I hit start the cartridge moves about a 1/4" to the right before it starts cutting.
I downloaded it and now I have my library back.
Omgoodness!! That's great news! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'll wait.
More video on cameo pro mk2 please
Coming Soon!! The month of December really knocked me down hard, but I think I've finally caught up enough to get it out and give it a go.

These options are at the bottom of the screen now. Select the images, then click ignore these lines.
If you're on FB, I run a group where you can post pics with your questions.
@@silhouettesuccessI just requested to join. Thank You:)
I just found you, and I’m interested! However, the music is extremely annoying. I have tinnitus, so the music is just another noise making it very hard to concentrate on what you’re saying.
Is there a way to have it start up in Design view?
I don't think there is. I just checked the preference panel, and I did not see an option to bypass the home screen.
@silhouettesuccess I couldn't see anything either unless an upgrade to business would do it 🤷♂️. I know it's not a big issue but when I have the motivation to start it's much nicer to launch straight into a design view and get started.. its the little things lol.
Thanks for looking for me too 😊
I've already downloaded. I love beta's.
Have you had a chance to play around in there? What are your thoughts? I'm starting to really like it.
@@silhouettesuccess I had to uninstall it because he kept saying it was media layout and print and cut would not work.
I’m also downloading V5!
I'm really starting to like it! Let me know what you think.

@@silhouettesuccess Dell Latitude E6420 _ x64 _ i5 processor 2.50GHz _ 1tb ssd _ 16 gb ram.
For me silhouette studio is the worst software I’ve worked with. So laggy. How can be possible that a program runs so damn slow 😩
@@silhouettesuccess i5 - 2.50 gh - 1tb ssd - 16gb ram
I watched the video, but what is new other than the layout...why do we "need" it???
The home screen is new, and a few things are in different spots. You would need it if you are new to Silhouette because it offers a lot more guidance through the process. And if your eyes are bad, like mine... It is a lot easier to see the icons.
Please stick with old version. Keep us informed re the stability of the newer version. Thank you for your tutorials.
Mine won't even let me update my current version. I click install and it just closes out and never reopens so I may try this version.
Same issue I am having. 😢
Try going directly to the Silhouette website to download. The pop-up is broken.
So now silhouette will work with mac?
When hasn’t it worked with Mac? I’ve been using it on my Mac for 10+ years.
Downloaded!
Keep me posted! Do you like it? Is it working well? I love the new things!
Replay- thanks
Oh god, I don't like the new style at all. it looks like a cheap version. I hope you can still work with the old version for a long time
It definitely is... different.
On the top of the UI you have a blue slider button to disable basic interface and got back to the normal one
Hi. Do you happen to know if they made any improvements to the rhinestone panel? Specifically for the cameo 4 pro?
I haven't tried it out yet, but I'll add it to the list!
Thanks for the great video. I will be upgrading to V5, but am comfortable continuing to see tutorials in the legacy versions.
OMG could do without that annoying repetitive back ground music, how annoying
Heard!
