Welcome to the discussion on ManyCam 5 and the issue of disappearing saved lower thirds. Many of our community members have encountered a frustrating problem where their carefully set up lower thirds disappear upon reopening ManyCam. This summary provides an overview of the problem and a solution shared by a fellow member.
- Users have experienced issues with ManyCam 5.04 standard version where saved lower thirds are not retained after closing and reopening the program.
- This issue has prompted members to repeatedly recreate their setups, leading to a search for a reliable solution.
- One of our members discovered that the issue stems from how ManyCam 5.04 handles preset saving. Specifically, presets are only saved to the registry upon properly exiting the program.
- To ensure that your lower thirds and other presets are saved, you should exit ManyCam by either selecting 'exit' from the main menu or right-clicking on the system tray icon and choosing 'exit'. Simply closing the window or minimizing it to the system tray will not save your presets.
- It's also noted that using ALT+F4 to close ManyCam or shutting down/restarting your computer without first exiting ManyCam properly may result in unsaved presets.
Sharing this solution within our community has helped many members safeguard their presets, improving their workflow and productivity. For further details or to share your own tips, please sign in to the forum.
