Hi guys! 


Another cool way of using the Multi Presets selection screen is incorporating animated backgrounds. We made it super easy for you, by creating pre-made multi presets for you to use and edit.

Using the Given Multi Presets Folders:


1. Check the "Enable Multi Presets Selection" box.


2. Select the Multi preset that you would like to use from the drop-down menu and Start (Multi Presets with animated backgrounds are marked below).


The reason you can't see the thumbnail is because we have turned it transparent! 



Using your Own Presets with the Pre-Made Multi Presets:

To make it as simple as possible for you, We already created several Multi presets with animated backgrounds and positioned the thumbnails in the relevant location. 


To use these multi presets with your own presets:

1. Click on the multi-preset folder. 


2. Click on a preset in that folder and hit the "Delete" key on your keyboard to remove it. 


3. Drag and Drop your presets to the desired folder, instead of the ones you deleted.


In this case, the first preset in the list is a 1 vertical photo layout (portrait thumbnail) and the second one in the list is a 3 vertical photo layout (landscape thumbnail). Make sure that your presets' thumbs correspond to the original thumbs. Don't forget to save the changes you've made.



Do It Yourself - Using Transparent Thumbnails Instructions:


How does it work?

The animated background works just like a static background and the presets' thumbnails are placed on the top of it.


1. After you have prepared your Multi Presets folder (click here for more details and instructions), load a thumbnail for each - this can be any photo you'd like, as long as you know which thumbnail represents which preset.


2. To load a thumbnail per preset, click on the Preset Thumb's section browsing button, and browse the desired thumbnail from the Thumbnails folder. Please note that a thumbnail should be located in both the "Thumbnails" and "Thumbnails_Large" folders in your preset pack. 

See this article for more details.


3. Load the desired background (animated or static) to the Scree Background section:



4. Click on the Multi Preset folder to change the Thumb settings to reposition them on the screen 

 


c. Click Start to see how your settings affected the size/location of thumbs on the screen.


5. Once you have reached the desired thumbnail position, simply check the box for Transparent Thumbs, and the thumbnail will become transparent.





That's it!
