Hi Curtis, love the video. Please make more like this

[@CurtisBlackmore]

I recorded and published part 2 to this video last night here on KZbin. :)

[@marys.5050]

Thanks Curtis. Are we able to do this yet for digital mug wraps?

[@CurtisBlackmore]

Yes, actually... Matthew and I are both going to work on a digital mug wrap video this week. We've had the mockups for 11oz and 15oz mug wraps live inside MyDesigns for 6+ months, but I never got around to making a video around it.

[@MsBuzzly]

This software is amazing.

[@loraleiffxi]

Do you have any plans on making the image wrap around the mug (like a warp) on the mockup, instead of it looking like a flat graphic on a curved design?

[@CurtisBlackmore]

We have tons of mockups in our actual mockups generator that do a good job of this, but we are also improving other mug mockups to warp more realistically around the mug(s).

[@RailinX]

Great video, but please don’t tell people to go copy bestselling designs. Like we don’t have enough copycats already to report to Etsy.

[@CurtisBlackmore]

I stated in the video I don't recommend copying listings exactly as is. I have a part #2 coming where I take this concept and generate other ideas from it. 👍

[@danaperry8156]

Just what I am looking for. Question: If I have a monogram can I list the entire alphabet in one listing with a drop down menu? Also, can I add my own mockups and attach the MyDesigns SKU number?

[@CurtisBlackmore]

You can add the monograms to one listing, but you need to upload the first one (A) for instance, then drag n' drop the others into empty file slots. We'll make further improvements to uploading quite soon so that you can drop all of them into the upload page and make a single listing your individual listings if you prefer. For mockups, if you have a Pro or Pro Plus plan, you can upload custom mockups and generate them in bulk and assign them for your listings when publishing.

[@jharper74]

Curtis, do you think it would be good for vision AI to work for merch by amazon POD listings as well?

[@CurtisBlackmore]

Yes, as soon as we add Amazon Merch support. It's primarily optimized for Etsy right now.

i have canva pro but for the life of me do not know hot to get to md pro

[@printeequebouteeque]

Sometimes when I’m working in cavas or the other the guide lines disappear

[@CurtisBlackmore]

I've seen this a few times and we've made more improvements to fix it, but will continue to analyze and update accordingly until it's perfected.

Is My Designs capable of not only customizing text, but customizing images, as well? For instance, if I sell on Etsy, and the customer wants to send a photo in, can My Designs do that? Or does it only do text. Also, say I change the customers photos to a black and white photo, is My Designs capable of putting a black and white filter on the image?

[@CurtisBlackmore]

MyDesigns can customize images too, however, you have to get the image from the buyer - rather that's via Etsy DM's or email. We will look at making this easier to import into MD into your exact order in the future. We haven't added filters to the canvas editor just yet.

[@LisaShoemake]

Not to be dense, but this is creating the actual mug itself and not just the wrap in this video? Are we able to just create the wrap for sale? I’m new to your channel and trying to figure all this out. Thanks.
