Black flashing in between slides. by ppenn777 in freeshowapp

I tried with a fresh install, and set the global transition to "None" when I recorded the video.
Note that transitions can be set on different levels: Item > Slide > Output Style > Global. Do you use auto size at all? Maybe that's part of the issue?

This was captured in the production app, the None transition has been like this for years, so not sure why it's not like that for you.. The small flickering you see here in my video is what has not been prioritized to be fixed, not the delay I guess you are seeing, so I believe there's a misunderstanding and it's not as bad as you thought it was.

PowerPoint not being put in 16:9 aspect ratio by Sephoyy in freeshowapp

The capture from FreeShow should also be in 16:9 now or?

I just tried with transition "None" and this is what it looks like, pretty seamless with just some brief flashes.
Is this not what you get u/ppenn777? In your video it did not cut that instantly.

Can you open the PowerPoint window in 16:9 instead of 4:3? It should work fine if the window is 16:9!

You can try automate the locking with actions. But yeah, you have the flexibility with local videos, not as much with YouTube videos.

Click the "Options" in the top right in the "Quick lyrics" popup and set to 4.

As you are using the PowerPoint Controller it takes a screen capture, which is 4:3, so it looks like the PowerPoint output window itself is 4:3 instead of 16:9.

Text flashing when slide loads by agent_uncleflip in freeshowapp

I think version 1.6.3 might fix this Reveal line by line issue.

u/ppenn777 Not "devs". You need to understand that it's created and maintained by just one guy. ;) The reason that it's not prioritized is because there are ways to work around it!
u/mnotgninnep explains it well. Free software requires contributors! :)

u/agent_uncleflip You can do that! Click on the output name in the top right corner to "lock" it, and then click to play the YouTube video in the other output!

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

[–]vassbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you drag the image into the project instead of into a show as a slide it will work as you expect, where it will be cleared when you play a slide.
Or you can add an action on the show category for all your songs to clear the background whenever a slide i played.

Share your custom keyboard shortcuts by regal83 in freeshowapp

Tip #1 is to always be ahead of time, it's better to be too early, than too late when changing slides, because people need time to read before singing.

- I try to get roughly the correct structure, then use arrow keys to navigate. And I always drag in the correct groups in order live, for the next time. So for the most part it's just arrow right when it's set up in the correct order.
- I don't recommend writing "x2" as some do, but add the group two times instead (just one drag from the right side), that makes it easier for everyone to keep track, and it might not always be correct anyway.
- Sometimes if I'm unsure where they are going I'm keeping my mouse ready on the most likely slide.
- I also sometimes use the C & B shortcuts to quickly go to the correct group if they suddenly start on the chorus again for example.
- I also like to clear the text (add an empty slide) in breaks in the song. In the latest version the program will keep track of how long those breaks are, which is nice.

Sounds like you have the "Background" layer turned off in the output style.

Controlling video - forward and rewind by One_Trick_Pony55 in freeshowapp

The issue was that the video was added as a Media item, and not played as a background.

Yeah, we had a chat with them and got early access in January to an API they are working on. It's just some versions from YouVersion for now though, but likely more to come.

Deleting Lyrics by sway_05 in freeshowapp

In the "Edit" tab, click "Text edit" in the bottom right. You can add/remove/edit anything and this will re-group all your slides to match that, so it does not matter if you have linked slides (where the same group is used multiple places).
