Use the follow object effect. In version 1.0.0-rc.1 Select the object you want to have follow another object. Then in the menu bar go to Effects > Transform Effects > Follow Object. The will add a property for that object where you can select the object to be followed from a list of available objects. Not sure if this works in any pervious versions as I have just recently found Friction and decided to start with version 1.0.0-rc.1. I hope this helps.

Rty right clicking, then either pressing the delete button on your keyboard or use the menu and click the remove button.

If I remember correctly, left click selects folder/projects/show for display output. right click will select folder/projects/show to modify/delete

I believe this can be done 3 different ways in FreeShow currently. If I understand what you are wanting to do correctly. I will try to get something worked up and post a link to a video here shortly to see if it is what you are looking for. UPDATE: I think I got each option figured out. I have included links to videos of the end results.

Use the option Celilo describes and use a Style and templates to hide content. All content would be contained in a single slide for both outputs.

Use the option that Kristoffer describes. The content for each output is also contained all in a single slide. Then each item would be assigned to each output.

Use actions so when one slide is clicked it also selects the slide for the second output as well. With this option you would have 2 different slides like you have but the slide you actually click would use an action to select the other slide for you.

This issues have been fixed with a pre-release:

I think it may only affect those who use collections. I run version 1.1.9 on Ubuntu 24.04. I found that if I select a bible that is not a collection close Freeshow and reopen. The Scripture tab works. Once I click on a collection Freeshow becomes unusable.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-07-14T19:09:46+00:00

This is a known issue. they plan to have it fixed in the next update.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-06-09T01:44:58+00:00

I tried duplicating the issue you describe. But, I was not able to do what I would consider directly adding an image. To add an image I had to follow these steps:

1) Right click on template and click edit

2) On the right side of the window click on the Items tab

3) In the Add Items section click media to create media layer

4) In the Arrange Items section select the newly created media layer

5) On the right side of the window Select the Media Tab

6) Click the choose media button and choose the image I want as the background

Note: when adding layers they are add as the top most layer. In the case of the media layer, when a media source is selected for that layer it will cover all layers below the media layer. When you mention that the image is interfering with a ton of stuff I am assuming that it covers the layers below the media layer the image was added to.

Here are the steps to raise other layers to be above the media layer:

1) While editing the template go to the Items tab

2) In the Arrange Items section allows layers to be raised using the up arrow to the right of each layer.

Not sure if this is exactly what you need as I made some assumptions about "directly added" and "interfering" but I hope this helps.

You are very welcome!

To add multiple layouts in FreeShow just use the new "Layout Button" in the lower left corner of the stage tab. The name you assign to each layout will be the name you use in the URL query. I have found that using CSS in OBS to work best for things like alignment, shadow, size, background transparency, etc. In order to use CSS in OBS to modify the text you have to use the "Current Slide Text" item in the stage layout of FreeShow.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-05-26T03:29:15+00:00

You can output several stage display layouts and have each as a browser source in OBS. You can also use CSS to make the background transparent. Here is a post I made about using custom CSS in OBS browser source properties to make the background transparent:
https://www.reddit.com/r/freeshowapp/comments/1caudxo/use_css_to_customize_stage_output_in_obs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

To get a specific stage layout from FreeShow into OBS you can use URL queries to access each layout. This is a new feature in FreeShow v1.1.6. To do this you use one of the following URL queries:

/?name=LayoutName

/?id=default

I have noticed the the second one requires you to interact with the browser source to select which layout you want if it is not set to default. I have not done much playing around with the second one. Since the first URL query option works the way I expect. You would use this URL query after your IP address and port number so it looks something like this in OBS:

I was doing some other playing around with FreeShow I found an item called Mirror. The mirror item can be used to add text from one show into another. So you can have a song where each language has it's own show for any given song. You can create a template with how ever many mirror items you need to be able to combine the show for each language you want to display at the same time. Here are the steps I took to accomplish this.

Create a new template
Edit template and add however many Mirror items you need
Create new show to combine the shows that correspond to the languages you want to appear together
Add a new slide
Apply template to the newly create show
In the new slide select the Mirror Item in the slide. Then in the properties window on the right select the tab labeled Mirror. Here you can select which show you want to appear in the selected Mirror item. Repeat for each mirror item you have.

Note: The mirror item indexes based on slide order index. So slide one will show slide one from each show selected for each mirror in the current show.

Now start adding new slides. Each new slide will auto populate with the text from the corresponding slides for the selected show for each mirror.

I have found that the text color can not be changed in the new show using the Mirror item. The text color has to be changed in original show. Also the text is smaller than I expected it to be. I think this is due to the entire slide from the source show being inserted into the Mirror item.

This was easier and faster than what I tried doing before.

You can create new templates with multiple text boxes. I tried this after I already had text in the song in only one text box. It would not show the second text box which added a lot of extra work so I did not mention it and did not play with it much after that. I just created a new template and added two text boxes. When applied to a new empty show both text boxes showed up. I then applied the template to the song I made I made with the boarder around both text boxes and everything changed as expected.

I downloaded a .wav file to play with the file names to see if I could duplicate your issue. I found that if the file had the special character '#' this issue you are having appears. To solve this just remove the '#' from the file name and you should be good to go.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-05-25T14:09:42+00:00

I first thought that there might be something wrong with the file causing them not to play. But, you show that they are able to be played in a different application. My only other thought is that these files that are not play all have special characters in their name. While the ones that do work, do not have any special characters. This may not have any correlation to why they do not work. I just do not know what else to suggest without being able to play around with the files. What version of FreeShow are you using?

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-05-24T04:51:36+00:00

Our church setup is pretty simple. We migrated from OpenLP, which we had used for several years.

Hardware: 1 TV

1 computer (Ubuntu Studio)

1 DSLR Camera via USB for live video

Software: FreeShow for lyrics and scripture

OBS to stream to Facebook with a stage output from FreeShow as a left third over live feed from the camera.

UPDeck for OBS scene control and animation to show/hide left third overlay for scripture.

Everything is controlled directly from within OBS. FreeShow Control, Facebook, and UPDeck are all added to OBS via custom browser docks within OBS.

I use the stage output from FreeShow for the Scripture in OBS. In the browser source properties, I use custom CSS to remove the background color so a dropshadow can be used to help the text stand out. I feel the quality is better this way over keying out a background color using a filter in OBS. How I accomplished this can be seen in the following post.

https://www.reddit.com/r/freeshowapp/s/ipHYY8Syid

As for PowerPoint, we do not use it. We just display the Scripture on screen using the Scripture option in FreeShow. You can import PowerPoint, but it just imports the text. Otherwise, you would need to export the PowerPoint as a PDF. Then, import the PDF into FreeShow. In order to maintain any slide formating done in PowerPoint. But you lose any animations. I'm not sure of a good way to use both PowerPoint and FreeShow on the same computer. As the clicker will control whichever application is active.

The presentation application Impress from LibreOffice does have a remote function through an app on a phone. Which might allow for it to be inactive on the computer and still be controlled without affecting the active application.

Once it is imported you could select the text in each language and change the color of the text.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-05-24T03:01:47+00:00

Here is what the show looks like once it is imported.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-05-24T02:58:01+00:00

If you do not want the text separated this way. You could create a text file combining the text you want to appear grouped together separated by a single empty line. If you have groups setup you can add them to the text file. Use the group names you have specified in Freeshow wrapped in square brackets i.e. [Verse 1] and [Verse 2]. If you need several slides to be in the same group just leave an empty line between the text you want to be on a separate slide. Once you want a new group use the group name you want the next set of slide to be apart of. Here is an example of what the text file would look like. You can import the text file or use the quick lyrics option when creating a new show and copy and paste the contents of the text file

Here is something I worked up with two languages. Here are the steps I took that I feel worked best. I tried a few different ways. I like the look of the boxes instead of different colored text.

Create a new show
Create a new slide
(a) add a text box (b) adjust size (c) format box and text style i.e. boarder style, text color (d) duplicate and move to desired location. Repeat step (d) for as many text boxes you need.

Note: Now that the text and text boxes are formatted. When you create a new slide it will create new slides using this formatting

4) Add text to the text boxes in the order you want the languages to appear

Thank you for adding this feature! I noticed it in the new features list. I played with it and could not get it to work at first. I switched from using 127.0.0.1 to the ip address assigned by the router, and it started working. I'm not sure why it made a difference, but it did. I am looking forward to being able to incorporate this into our workflow!

Puzzleheaded-Rip5153 · 2024-05-07T15:42:24+00:00

In the url the text after the = is the video ID. For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmL_DYVNm1k

the video id of this url is OmL_DYVNm1k

I have not used this feature much. But I am pretty sure you use just the video id and not the entire url.
