The first window presented is the Configuration Options. Press the 'Continue' button to proceed.
After VJamm Blueprint has finsihed loading, you will be presented with the default windows.
You can re-position these on your desktop as required.
The main display area, defaults to the top-left of your display and can only be re-positioned by using the configuration panel on start-up.

- Drag and drop a video clip file from an explorer window into the Library window
- A thumbnail of the first frame in the video clip will appear in the Library

The preview area is just below the 'A' and 'B' buttons on the channel
