The H (Height) box was automatically adjusted according to the information in the W box. Next, we typed in our size in the W (Width) box. Then we clicked on the little lock between the W and H boxes to keep the aspect ratio. As we did before, we changed the scale but this time to mm. The toolbar contains various options, one of which contains the Width and Height. The second way to resize an image in Inkscape is to use the top toolbar. We left this un-ticked so the object as a whole was scaled. The option “Apply to each object separately” can be ticked if you want certain objects adjusted. Next, before adjusting Width and Height, make sure Scale Proportionally is ticked. Select Scale then click on the drop down menu next to Width to change the scale to percentage. The panel will open on the right side of the screen. To access this panel you need to go to Object > Transform. The Transform Panel offers options to Move, Scale, Rotate etc under one panel. This will prevent accidentally missing any small items when scaling. In order to scale all the items together, you will need to group the objects in Inkscape. We are looking at the issue to see if we can refactor anything to get VideoScribe to support the new features and also overlapping shapes, but for the moment you will need to avoid overlapping shapes.If you are using a SVG, it may open as ungrouped elements. From the initial investigation into the ticket Steve raised the other day VideoScribe will not pick up strokes/fills where they are overlapping other objects.

We have been tightening up our image controls to support the colour change function introduced in v3.3 of VideoScribe. none of my teachers could write straight or draw straight, even the art teachers! So rough images adds a certain authentisity to the video in my opinion (and I have bad OCDs when it comes to tidyness). It's a whiteboard animation tool so it's supposed to look like someone sketching freehand on a board. Add a guide line and manually add anchor points to all the paths that cross it on the line, then delete the anchor points directly after the line to isolated the part of the image you do not want

If you have a Wacom tablet or similar could also just put a ruler over it to guide the eraser in a straight line Good suggestions Mike! Couple of other options and thoughts. But at this point, I'm just too frustrated to see it. I'm sure the answer is really quite simple. It has to be possible to take an SVG from the library, and cut it in half. It doesn't seem to do much of anything when I use it on a complex image. And as far as I can tell, the eraser only works with one shape at a time. But the eraser in Inkscape is a freehand tool, so it's always going to look sloppy. Tech support also suggests using the eraser in Inkscape to remove the part you don't want. But if I remove the clipping, then I have the whole image again, and that's not what I want. Just remove the clipping, and it'll be fine. Sparkol tech support says it's supposed to do that. If you clip an SVG and import it back into VideoScribe, the image is just blank. But it's the same net effect.)īut as of version 3, that doesn't work any more. (I know, I know, you can't "crop" vectors. Export the image from VideoScribe, and use the "clip" tool in Inkscape, kind of like cropping a PNG. (For instance, imagine you've found a nice image of a person in the library, but you only want to show them from the waist up.) I'm trying to do something very simple here: just take an SVG from VideoScribe's image library, and cut it in half.
