Video

Yep!

What do you think of the Freeshow software?

Paul, do you know anything about why we would be having an issue with the audio glitching during a video? Almost like its buffering. We've noticed this with short 2 min videos or less and all the way up to our 15 min intermission video we did that mostly has video portions with welcome/announcements throughout it to give the media teams a break during that time. What we've noticed is the sound keeps cutting in and out. We've replaced the audio cables thinking it may have been a short but that hasn't changed anything. Thanks!

Very helpful, thank you!

I have a video that is 2 minutes. It has a 6 second intro with text flying in and stops on screen, then sits there the rest of the time with a motion background. Can I tell the video to loop after that from the 6 seconds so I don't have to make the video 10 minutes long?

Yep!

You just never know what someone might want,but yes!

It is not illegal to rip movies - you can still make 'backup' copies of any media, as long as you don't distribute it or accept money to show it. What's illegal is breaking copy protection, which Handbrake won't do. (use MakeMKV instead)

what about for multiple different views on the fly? if I am on a blank slide that has a macro with different looks for 3 outputs, I can't use bible on the fly because it doesn't adjust all 3 outputs.

I also recommend going into the list of books and hovering your mouse over Isaiah or Psalms since a lot of preachers (at least at my church) like to cite it. If they cite a passage from the NT I just scroll all the way down which will put my mouse really close to the NT books. Why? It is mush easier to find books in the NT than in OT since they are cited much less.

I just wish you can play subtitles! As for being illegal to rip a DVD if the computers still shipped with the drives and software would support play back, then people wouldn't need to rip it.

That was very confusing. Even your moving video used as an example. I cannot tell that it was a moving video.

also its illegal to rip DVD

Can I add slides from another song to this arrangement. For instance, building a mashup of two songs by adding the bridge of another song to this song, then back to this songs chorus and end?

I have an external DVD player that hooks right up to my laptop. They are about 30 bucks

Yep!

I have just started using ProPresenter in my Catholic Parish, and this video has been very helpful. Previously, we used Keynote. For notation, it was easier. We have a large sanctuary with large screens. I use notation sparingly, but I use at least one or two slides each Sunday. I make my own images in Dorico Pro (Finale, Sibelius, Musescore, and LillyPond work too), so I have total control on the size and cropping of my notation images and lyrics. I used to export them as PDF files when I used Keynote, because I could import the PDF into Keynote (like line art) and there is no loss of quality when resizing. ProPresenter does not seem to have that option, but I wonder if there is a workaround?? Currently, I am exporting the images as transparent PNGs with no background for ProPresenter. I place the image over a white box. I have tried using white notation over the black background in my church, but I find it is not easier to read at all.

that was extremely helpful for our Churches VBS. Thank you for the step-by-step tut😁

My church has used Pro Presenter since around 2013 and I have never been clear on the differences in background and foreground. Thanks, Paul.

I agree, but I do like subtle animations.

Wish I found this video a few years ago. Thank you!

I have PP 7.16.3. My CCLI information runs together without any spaces between each subject. I have tried to make the CCLI text box editable, but when I select the option it does nothing. Can you shed some light on how to make the CCLI text box editable?

According to RenewedVision (responding to my question), the only way to guarantee text goes into the right text box is to name the text boxes the same in the Slide and in the Theme. Without a matching name, It will try to use the order of the textboxes in the Object box, otherwise, but there are no guarantees. From my experiments, if either set of textboxes (theme or slide) has numbers in the names, e.g. Text 1, Text 2, Text 3... (and names don't match), it will try to use the number order, lowest to highest, to match them.

Nice I am doing that soon

You never created the double click theme. Your promo played over it instead of being inserted.

This should be something that is scriptable.

For some reason my midi studio doesn’t show enable key. How can I make it become available?

I am using next slide timer to create a loop. I want the last slide to return to the second slide not the first. How can I do that?

Ooh interesting

Can I get church tech u for free

Our church is switching to pro presenter

Cool!

I can confirm that the issue lied in the naming and the order of the text boxes. In our church we display two bible translations (bilingual church) and Pro7 loved to change between the two languages in our lower third theme for the live stream. I made sure that the text box names and order matched between the two themes and it resolved our issue! Thanks!

Yes, 100 years later and your video just taught me what I needed to know. THANK YOU!

Good evening Paul, I am facing an issue regarding an Urdu font specifically about a font called "Jameel Noori Nastaliq" in propresenter 7, The issue is it cuts off some of the text and sometimes completely changes it. This font was working fine with propresenter 6. Could you please help me regarding this?

Honestly, I have never found a consistent use for foreground, only use background for everything and that works for me.

The Typo is the Title lead me here.. well ..

Thank you!!!

why text not showing on my propresenter?

Is if too many media background added (each around 100mb) in ProPresenter will make the software performance lagging? Or is it because too many song lyrics? (We have around 1000+ song lyrics on it).

Thanks for the info. One thing that I am having trouble with is the slides that I have I a rotation. In the past, all I needed to do was set the rotation time on the master and it would trigger the slave computer. That does not happen anymore. The way that I have had to get around it is putting both on the same time number, 10sec, but inevitably one begins to lag behind. Am I missing something?

Thanks for your video. Jesus Christ love you

How do you delete a theme from your theme library?

I see you can add a video input as a PIP and place it in a corner. Is it possible to do a PIP and have it link to a current slide. Have the video as the primary display and the slider as a PIP. Presently lower third doesn’t always work for the text we have on the screen.

Paul, It's not the size of the text box that makes the difference. In both cases (6&8) the text box names match the names in the theme. That's why applying the theme doesn't change the order of the boxes. It's only when the names do not match AND the top/bottom arrangement doesn't match the z-order that there is a problem. To test what I'm saying, duplicate #5, then on the duplicate rename the boxes, then apply the theme. Best practice is to give each text box a different name, AND make the z-order match the top/bottom arrangement of the boxes. Size doesn't matter. Then do the same for the text boxes in your theme. That way neither Pro7 nor the operator will get confused about which is which.

Hi, I want to ask why when I want to add an image to the prop but an error appears and it can't be imported?

Glad you tackled this it can be very confusing! Thanks

That first step at the 2.45 mark fixed it for me, thanks.

Hi, is there a way to add actions to jpeg or png files please?

Great info, thanks Paul. Just switched over from Pro 6 to 7 so this was a great tip. :D
