OK, I think I learned how to do some more things.
Here is a short video that demonstrates how to:
Animate an object that moves across the screen
Fades in as it moves across the screen
Scales as it moves near the right side
Rotates as it moves near the right side
On the right of the screen, you will see a bunch of videos that are not mine. I need to learn how to manage that now.
Hope someone can help me. I am trying to learn more about some of the "effects" in CapCut. I have added an image to my trial project and have been able to animate it. I have it moving across the screen, rotating and scaling. Now I want to get it to fade in. I have watched some videos of how to do it, but it does not seem to be working. I have set 3 keyframes. The first one sets the fade to 0, the second one to 45% and the third one to 100% so I should be seeing it start at not showing and fade it as it moves across the screen. However, I am seeing it all through the video.
Can someone give me some advice?
For those who are interested in CapCut, here is the link to a great guide for those who are just getting started.
Hope you find it an interesting guide. It has a lot of information about the toolbars in the application.
I think I solved the problem. It appears that I was using some features that are only available in the Pro version. For others, I had been using some animation of text. When I eliminated that, I can now generate a video.
If anyone is using CapCut (in particular the free version). I need some help.
I created a very small video and was able to upload it to YouTube. I then created a more important video that I want to share with certain individuals, but when I try to export/create the video I am getting messages trying to force me to the Pro version. Can anyone give me any advice or suggest other software to explore?
Can someone verify that my link is now public?
Its public
Thanks for the verification @rich-o-brien.
I will have to move on with trying to learn more about learning CapCut. It seems like a pretty strong and versatile tool.

Too bad—your video is private, so I can't view it. But I'm glad to hear you're making progress.

Well, I am making some progress. Here is a link to a video I just created and posted on YouTube. BSW Test 1
Yes, I still have a long way to go but at least this is a start. My plan is to expand this video a good bit. I have several more "slide" I want to add but it will take some time. The problem I had with the background seems to be solved (at least so far). I know I also need to add some keyframes and some other features. Let me know what you think of where I currently am.
I do not know where all of those other videos come from and I have not figured out how to all the viewer to replay the video I added.
I used one of their favorites as a background and it worked, however when I started adding more items or changing the timeline of some items I had already included, I could no increase the background to match the other changes so it does not now appear behind all items. So far, I have not been able to find a solution.
Is there a support site or forum you would recommend?
BTW: from an earlier post, are you from Germany? I was stationed there in the US Army from late 1966 to late 1968. 
Hi
️
I'm making fast and simple progress with CapCut—it's very simple and straightforward (and there are a lot of help-tuts on Youtube)
It has all the needed features, such as transitions, text, sound, etc., and even keyframe animation...

I am still trying to learn how to use the CapCut software. So far, I am not doing as good as I would like but the software looks very powerful.
For my first video, I would like to video, I wanted to start with multiple images and text. I want to animate some of the text. That all seemed very easy to do but I have one issue I have not been able to resolve. Since page is a mixture of multiple images and some animated text I need to be able to set the background for the page. I would kind of like for it to be a single color. I have not been able to figure out how to set the background color though. Later I plan on adding more pages with more images and eventually an animation that I have created with the Animator plugin in SketchUp.
I have now watched several videos but have not found out how to set the background for my "presentation" though. If you, or others, have any suggestions, I would really like to hear from you.
For others who have looked at this thread (or do look at it) I think CapCut looks like a really cool piece of software.
Prima! (I can´t translate "Is there a charge for the desktop version? into something that makes sense in German"
) Aren't you running the program on a computer? Or does that mean “does it cost anything”? Hmmm—my version didn't cost anything.
Yes, I meant does it cost anything.
Animated text: There are various pre-animated text templates available (I never like those things), or you can use a simple standard text, place it, and set a keyframe, then reposition it, even in size or rotation, and set another keyframe.
You can do the same with an alpha-channel PNG, for example, an arrow or a red circle...
(before you waste too much time, check YouTube for “CapCut keyframes” or “keyframe animation”).
I look forward to hearing how you're getting along
Thanks, I will need to learn more about how to use keyframes properly.
As of right now, I am making some interesting progress. As soon as I can, which might be a while, I will share the progress I am making. As of now, this seems to have the features I want/need for the project I want to do.
@HornOxx I have downloaded it and am trying to learn. Looks like it has a lot of the features I want but I still have a lot of things to learn. In particular, I want to be able to animate some text (like make it slide on to the screen).
Is there a charge for the desktop version? I will keep you posted as I learn.
I have been having some problems trying to download and install OpenShot. Any suggestions?
@Rich-O-Brien OK, got the latest version installed now.
I should have known this myself. DUH!
Thanks for the feedback, Rich. I think thee Davinci Resolve is a bit of an overkill, but I am going to take a look at OpenShot. I might wind up just using Animator though.
Again, thanks for the feedback.
Not sure now how I originally installed the extension, but I feel pretty confident I have updated it before via SketchUcation Tools. When I go to the SketchUp Extension manager, it says I have 0.9.92. I would like to update to the 0.9.93 version. Does this mean I need to download the new version and install if "from scratch" or is there some way I can do it via SketchUcation Tools?
Is there a way within Rayscaper to update to the latest version? If not, is this something you could add to the ui?
If you install extensions using Sketchucation Tools then it will prompt you to update. It has been that way for years.
I agree @rich-o-brien but when I went there yesterday it said it said all my extensions were up to date. I will look again today. That is what prompted my post.
I am constantly getting message about Internet Download Manager that says there is a problem Does anyone have any suggestions about how to update it?
Where were you stationed back then?
