I want to add a few elements

Hi,


I want to add a few pictures and text and one time.


I read that i need to create a picture from paint.net for an example

and save as a SVG file.


When I tried to add my svg file to my canvas by using the picture icon 

Videoscribe do not recognize my svg file.


!!!PLEASE HELP!!!!


Thank you,,,,,,

I don't think you can SAVE real SVG images using paint.net

you can IMPORT them into paint.net using a plugin but they become raster images at that point.

you can attach the image here if you want us to look at it.



use inkscape (inkscape.org) or illustrator instead.

Hi Mike,


Thank you, for your reply.


Please find attached SVG.

Hi Paul,

the SVG appears to be

1) a white rectangle (background color) and

2) a link to a png image that cannot be found (so videoscribe can't display it) and

3) a clipping path (which videoscribe doesn't like)


did videoscribe give you an error or just display a blank image?


if that image started off as an SVG, it looks like paint.net converted it to a raster image (a png) and then when you saved it, the png was saved as a separate file or lost.


I recommend using inkscape version 0.48.5 (not the the newer one) available for free at inkscape.org) if you want to make svgs that will work in videoscribe

Have a great day....
