How do I manually change the camera layouts and save them? I've deselected the "drag lock" option, but still can't move or resize any of the camera view frames. Also, when I use the slider to adjust the size of a selected camera, that doesn't work. Only the size of the "earliest" camera added to Blue Iris is changed.

I'm sure it's something simple that I've missed, so thanks for bearing with me.

D'oh! [yet another Homer Simpson facepalm moment]

Yes, I figured it out, including the fact I was trying to make it more complicated than necessary.

It is something that I have missed. How do you resize and move view frames in the layout on the console screen?

You can't resize them directly, but you can move them by clicking inside the video portion and dragging to where you want the window. But don't try to drag using the video window title bar ... that does nothing! It took me forever to figure this out.

For resizing them, experiment with the right-click Layout menu. I think this is your only choice for sizing.

You can use the anamorphic option to resize but the image wont be true...

Mine stopped working after adding another cam. I cannot click and drag anymore? Any i-dears? LOL
Release 4.5.2.4 x64
I don't think it was after an update, but after adding cam. I did notice after adding the cam, I had two group that worked before but not after. I had to merge the two to see all cams.
I have two Logitech desk cams and two Foscam/Amcrest PTZs.
Thanks

Uncheck drag lock...You also likely selected a specific group on the left of the ptz control bar...Set it to all cameras

Thanks Fenderman.
I did try the selecting all cameras, did not work for me. After combining groups, then worked. I could not find drag lock. I slowed down and looked harder. Found it after right clicking view box.

You may have blocked the admin user from access to a specific group..you should not have to combine groups, you have something set incorrectly..
