when I want to use the Custom Thumbnail Image in the Portfolio item, it does not work at all. Only the Featured Image ist shown in the frontend, why? Cann you please help me, because in this way I can't use the theme that I paid for.
You can add a custom image in the portfolio metabox settings, which can be found near the bottom of each portfolio item. Here's a screenshot of the same.
thanks for your answer, but exactly this is the problem, that "custom thumbnail image" do not work at all. When I insert an image there, it is shown everywhere, why?
At the homepage you can see theese animated big pictures as a preview for the Portfolio Item. You can change them in the Backend, when you go to the featured image, ok?
At the end of the portfolio detail site (frontend), you can see 3 Preview Pictures for other Projects, yes? And these are the same as on the homepage and look very ugly in the Preview, because they are cropped.
So, when I use the Custom Thumbnail Image, the result is, that this image is shown at the homepage and the Preview in the Detail site.
In the backend, there is written this, but it does not work. "If you would like to have a separate thumbnail for your portfolio item, upload it here. If left blank, a cropped version of your featured image will be automatically used instead. The recommended dimensions are 600px by 403p"
I hope you understand my problem now an can help me, because I can't use the theme when these Preview images look so bad.

Try adding a header image to the portfolio item and see if this resolves your issue.

Hey Again,
1 . Add the Images in the "Feature Image" Metabox and not Custom Thumbnail if you wish to use the Layered Portfolio .
2 . Select the Image size you wish to display in the Post Loop Builder Settings here:
