How to use the editable photo in the Vellum pocket element from the new ‘Just Keep Going’ collection?

Hello! I’m excited to introduce a new series to the blog, featuring tips and tutorials on using elements from my products. I’ll also share valuable insights to make your scrapbook pages more realistic and beautiful.

In this inaugural tutorial, I’ll guide you through using an element from the latest collection. However, you might notice that this editable element is also available in other collections, presented in .TIF format. It can be opened in Photoshop for easy customization with the photo or paper of your choice.

To make things even simpler, I’ve created a quick and easy video to help you understand how to incorporate it into your pages. The video is in Portuguese, as my spoken English isn’t that great. But don’t worry! Below the video, I’ve provided instructions on how to enable automatic subtitles on YouTube, so you can watch it in your preferred language.

How to generate automatic subtitles in my language on Youtube?

1. Click on the Settings (Gear) Icon: Look for the settings icon, which is usually represented by a gear symbol. You can find it at the lower-right corner of the video player.

2. Select “Subtitles/CC” Option: Click on the “Subtitles/CC” option from the menu that appears after clicking the settings icon.

3. Choose “Auto-translate”: Within the “Subtitles/CC” menu, there should be an option called “Auto-translate.” Click on it.

4. Select Preferred Language: A list of available languages will appear. Choose the language you prefer for the subtitles. YouTube will automatically translate the subtitles into the selected language.

5. Adjust Settings (if needed): Some videos may have additional settings, such as font size and color. You can adjust these settings based on your preferences.

6. Enjoy Watching with Subtitles: The video should now display subtitles in your chosen language. Enjoy watching the video with automatic subtitles!
