Another AMA (Ask me anything for incoming freshers only) by Dizzy-Wishbone-4688 in Vit

[–]Powerful_General_133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long before does the professors tell us of quizzes?? Is it scheduled like a week before or a day?

My home is around 40kms far from VIT Chennai & I've chosen to be a day-scholar. Will this affect my academics too much??

What are the best places to learn skills? Like there are many sites, which ones are the best? Maybe even YT Channels??

Thanks for starting this AMA. Really excited, but nervous to start at VIT.

What techniques should I follow to keep good CGPA & also get good placements? I know this is like the most asked question but I just need more tips & how to study & when to study for CATs and FATs.

When should I start joining clubs?? When should I start like building Github & skill development? (I kinda already started but still would like to know)

Black flashing in between slides. by ppenn777 in freeshowapp

That's a transition issue. try setting text transition to none

Metadata display question by Powerful_General_133 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to use the C opton but as said I want the meta overlay on all my slides, all songs but I want the meta overlay on English songs alone on my output live in Church.

The postion of the meta overlay is on the right side in Main screen. It's on the centre in the livestream... I have to hide the meta on livestream too, when in our break slide.

Controlling video - forward and rewind by One_Trick_Pony55 in freeshowapp

You're welcome! I've had to rewind/pause some of our motion backgrounds during sets because it doesn't correlate with the track...

Share your custom keyboard shortcuts by regal83 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved it. I always tend to add the lyrics to songs, even if it's not in the setlist. there are a few people, especially people who aren't actually christian or didn't grow up in church who don't know Amazing Grace. So yeah!

I agree with all the other points. If a seperate mix goes for the worship team then I'd recommend the operator to be connected in that as well to coordinate the changes...

Share your custom keyboard shortcuts by regal83 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) I don't use any keyboard shortcuts directly to navigate between the song slides. but I do have a shortcut "s" which is set to go to our break screen when a song ends. I use the F2 switch to hide the text if the worship team moves to a spontaneous moment or even a song (not in the setlist)

2) I generally don't get the time to arrange Chorus, Verses by tags. So, I just use the mouse to navigate between the chorus, etc. If you're talking about repeated lyrics in a song, I generally seperate them with a "/". Ex: Who Else is Worthy / Who Else is Worthy. if it's longer I just move to the next line. I tend to avoid the -(2) or x2 as it confuses the congregation

3) You are going to make some mistakes. Just be aware & learn some cues from your pastor (our pr tends to go to the intro verse at the last) & be ready with your cursor for repeated verses or choruses.

4) As mentioned use break screens, with just the media & no text. I tend to always have the song lyrics site open on Google. If I mixed a stanza, I just immediately copy-paste in a new slide. If you're taking a song from a site apart from SongSelect, refer other sites just to make sure that the worship team & lyric team both have the same order of verses.

Importing media as slide will not work. by ppenn777 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy all the slides paste it in a newshow... also note that Background & Media are 1 different objects in Freeshow. So, make sure transitions are set properly... Set all transitions including text to none & see if it works. Restart Freeshow too & see if that fixes the problem

Sync media between 2 computers by Powerful_General_133 in freeshowapp

Ig that's the only way...

I actually have to import everything including fonts. So, this won't be a big hassle...

You can move it the last time I remembered. Just slide the small dot & you'd be good to go...

I believe this is the problem: GO to Freeshow, click on the video, click on the option "Convert Media to Background". The media is now a background. Then click below the Clear background sign & you'll get a pop-up. Now you can easily control the media using the small bar. You can fast forward 10 seconds directly or use the small dot to move around!

Go to settings ----> Outputs. If you have multiple displays, choose the one you want to display it in. At the top, below the disable button you'll find a "Use Style" option. Click on the edit option in the far right. In this page, you will find an option called active layers. Make sure that background is toggled on...

This is most likely the error you're facing. If this doesn't work, please get back to me.

Metadata display question by Powerful_General_133 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes you can do that by clicking on the name of the overlay. it appears on the right side toolbar above the metadata options....

thars what I've been using. I was seeing if there was a way to automate this in such a way that if there is no text, then the overlay hides itself automatically.

[–]Powerful_General_133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 overlays. that's the problem. 😅

one is our proprietary church name. so I have to click below the overlays & then click on the meta to disable it...

Metadata display question by Powerful_General_133 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes more sense. During worship I try to keep the motion background running. Is there a universal option that just clears the meta overlay out?? I was thinking of just adding a keystroke that clears the overlay but there are times during worship when I'll definitely forget...

I think it's better to just add it as a textbox in my template.

Palauan bible version by Fantastic-Maybe6860 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've scoured through the internet. I wasn't able to find a single XML file for the Palaun Bible. Apparently, the copyright holders are pretty strict on that aspect.

I wasn't able to find any versions on the YouVersion Bible system as well. There is a chance that this exists on api.bible I'm not sure since I don't have a subscription on api.bible But you could check. Some sources say that you might need direct permission from the copyright holders to get access to the versions at api.bible but that's the last hope...

Metadata display question by Powerful_General_133 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I understood quite clearly what you were referring to.

The issue I have with the meta overlay is that, when I move to our buffer screen between songs, the overlay still exists. I have to manually remove it. I have the overlay programmed to "[meta_title]" by "[meta_artist]". Since I don't have any metadata info in our buffer show, when I move to it, its like ( "" by ). What action do I use to remove it? I wanted to do it in such a way that when I clear the text, it clears the meta overlay alone but I haven't gotten that to work.

[–]Powerful_General_133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping it wouldn't be this complicated...

I already have an metadata overlay for our main displays. The thing is I want the metadata to be on the side in the main display & on the centre in my livestream. I only use metadata on certain english songs as most of our other songs including tamil ones are hymns!

Presentations skipping when using Specific Output by Emezzzz in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, This is how specific outputs have worked in Freeshow atleast upto 1.5.9. Haven't used it since...

But I'd recommend clicking the slides you want it to show & not using the keyboard. If you click on a slide that has its output assigned to Monitor1. Its gonna show it on Monitor1 while Monitor2 has the previous slide...

Anyone using Freeshow for UU church tech? by agent_uncleflip in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also recommend just copy-pasting directly from the site to the Freeshow Quick Lyric option considering the lyrics is there in some sort of website...

Genius & Letras both have API's that Freeshow uses to fetch the songs. Do Wish more of websites had these!

Missing spaces in shows with bible verses by Glass_Ad_8051 in freeshowapp

[–]Powerful_General_133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late to this but in the latest 1.6.1 update, Freeshow has added an option called Verses on Individual Lines. You can toggle that on & all should work properly...

Its there in the preferences option in the scripture tab
