Yes, it’s difficult to tell what you type into the box in the Youtube demo video. What did you type in there?
Thanks

Hey there,

I’m about to purchase this script (used an older version years ago and I remember it being great) – But, I don’t remember how to use the interface. I can’t tell what you are typing in the dialogue box in the demo video. If I knew what you type in that box, I could once again figure out how to use the script but, it’s been so long, that I can’t recall how to properly operate this script without some assistance.

Thanks for any help!
