    Hi Skyler sskyblaze ,

    Make sure your Image Settings are not wrong; the most important ones that might cause your poroblems are:

    The green options are good, just to be clear (and forgive me for misspelling Reference 😉).

    Oh, and you must have your Cube Selected, in order to switch to Edit Mode...

    Well with so many problems all at once, I suggest maybe taking a step back. Press Start is a beginner course, but is not a super ultra beginner course, it has some fundamental knowledge built into it and if you take a wrong step when following the video, well you see what happens. So there's more Fundamental courses to take, linking up:

    Also if you're going to continue with Press Start, maybe take it very slowly when following the video and don't hesitate to start it over as many times as needed. When learning 3D is all about Grit and perseverance.

    Hey Skyler,
    Have you managed to solve this issue?
    If not can you supply more info to the exact issue you have, screenshots would be helpful too.
    Even better, you could upload you .blend file to google drive, dropbox or similar and post the link here for us to take a look at.
