I'm not a big user of Smart Package because I tend to use VideoStudio on one PC and do not normally need to move the project to another PC or share the project with others. Just wondering if other more experienced members had issues with Smart Package? The reason why I ask is because ddickerson47 wanted to know how to highlight text: highlight textI followed Gripps 2211 tutorial and successfully produced a project. I was going to make my project available online so that ddickerson47 and anyone else interested could use it to learn the process. Anyway I created a Smart Package both file and zip file. Before loading them onto Onedrive to share, I tested them but unfortunately both projects failed to work. It appears that the motion effect of the highlighter was lost. I'm not sure if Corel would do anything about it at this stage but I was wondering if others had a similar experience where a project archive was created and subsequently restored and it actually didn't work?

Smart Package ... I tested them but unfortunately both projects failed to work. You could simply bundle up your small project as a ZIP file containing the VSP file and any required images, i.e. avoid using Smart Package.

tletter , You are a Genius! It worked! This is really strange because smart package essentially does the same thing or so I thought; makes a copy of your project & project folder or converts it into a simple zip file. Anyway I attached a link to the zip file I manually created based on your advice (and tested at my end). If you have time, I would like you or some other member download it and test it at their end just to confirm it actually does work. Then save it using Smart Package, move it to different directory on their computer. Open it up and confirm its messed up (or actually does work). Once confirmed, I'll send the zip file to Support highlighting the bug. Highlight Text

I used Smart Package a couple of months ago and no problems, but I'm using VS2018 so not much use to you. By the way Candive, I had my hip replacement operation this morning, and all went well, so thanks for your well wishes, sure it helped.😀 Alan

Alan -- for what it's worth, I had my right knee replaced in Palmerston North 10 years ago, and the left one year later. Painful for a while, but both were very successful and I regained my full mobility. So I trust it will be the same with your hip. All the best!!!

Thanks Ken, one of the nurses told me knees are more painful than hips to have replaced, hope it wasn't to bad for you. I have had the OP at a Souther Cross hospital, as I didn't want to wait 12 month's in the public system. Unfortunately no insurance, so spending the kid's inheritance😀. Alan

CandiveSmart Packaging There have been problems creating Smart Packages and or saving the project. One instance was using Mercalli stabilisation that would then require analysing again( need to retest that option) , there may be other plugins that cause similar issues. I believe using Masks may have issues as a B&W bmp image is required, we have to remember to select the “Include all unused trackers in the project”, then the image would be created within the SP. OK I have had problems in opening your project “Highlight_text_01.VSP” Requires relinking unusual as the files are all within the same folder, also targeting files that are not in the package. PaintingCreator~2.PNG, ( 2 clips) vs240501-002.JPG vs240501-001.JPG Sorry but unable to work with this project, Candive please check the package that it contains all images used in the project.

Like Trevor, I too get one missing link -- Here's the message I get:
"Original file [C:\Users\wayne\Documents\Corel VideoStudio Pro\26.0\PaintingCreator_Still\PaintingCreator~2.PNG] doesn't exist."
I'm not sure where Trevor found that 2 JPG clips were missing as for me, with the VSP open in the timeline, everything was there except PaintingCreator~2.PNG

Alan -- believe me I sympathize with you!. I had my first knee replacement done 10 years ago this June. I had waited two years in the public system and finally gave up and went into a private hospital after only a few weeks. Also had no medical insurance to cover it, so paid NZ$23,000. In the meantime, my other knee had given way too, so exactly one year later had that done too in the same private hospital. (Since I had paid once, the public system would never cover the second operation!) And this time it cost me NZ$24,000. So in one year I spent in effect my whole year's income on those two operations... Luckily I had the money, but there are, of course hundreds or thousands of others who simply can't afford these private operations, so they go on suffering...

Hi
The Smart Package contains a VSP file and 4 png files.
Opening the project requests a relink to the first clip, I selected one of the png’s.
The remaining clips did not auto relink, selecting the next clip showed a relink to the image vs240501.jpg, I assume this to be a snapshot taken on 1st May 2024. This file does not exist in the folder.
We can open the VSP using notepad a little difficult to decipher but does show the timelines content, this project looks quite complex given it only contains a few clips.
I do not know why I see those jpeg’s unless it’s a Windows 11 to 10 issue, I am using 10.
It’s late in UK now but will look again tomorrow.

👍👍Thanks Trevor, it's amazing, my first day after the OP and I had a short walk with my crutches and the nurses, down the corridor and up and down a set of stairs they use for excersises, and no pain! Alan

Hi everyone, Thanks for the feedback. The information provided has been invaluable. Before proceeding with any more testing, allow me to investigate further at my end and I'll provide an update from my findings.

Hi everyone, Here is my latest zip file from VS2023. I did not use Smart Package but just zipped up the contents. Once unzipped, you have to relink the project to the directory. The project should highlight two lines of text. If it works, then I have to determine what I did right. If it doesn't work, its back to the drawing board. Gatsby Highlight
