Hello,

I want to create a custom thumbnails sheet, by choosing "Choose shots manually".
What I try is to fill just the shots positions that I need (totally customized placement, as you can see in the attached sshot) & leave the others positions blank.
The problem is that, although the F5 button shows the preview as I need it, when I save the option & run it, the end result has filled the blank positions with whatever it decides!!!

Is there a way save it as I need it? (I mean beside PrintScreen & Paste/save desktop pic)

Hello,

I don't know why would you need that, but currently you can either
1) create a Custom matrix with tiles only at necessary positions
or
2) use your own stub image for blank positions, just import (hotkey: Insert) the image for each blank tile

This would work great (thanx for showing it by the way, I didn't know there was something like that in the program), if I knew beforehand what exactly I will need to place, but this happens as the moview browsing flows...

What do you mean "stub image"? I don't get it how to do this in VTMaker...

A lot of job, but still possible.
Create an empty image on the disk. An empty jpeg or png, let's say 600x400, or whatever.
Then you can use the Right Mouse Button on a Tile in Choose Shots manually window, select Import (hotkey: Insert), select the Image.
