Quality Check
1) Songs
For each song in the playlist check the following:
Song was imported
Click on the song to see whether it was imported. If not, you'll need to add it manually.
Standard Arrangement is selected
Right-click on the song and go to Arrangement to see if there is already a Standard arrangement. If so, select it. If not, you'll need to add it (see below).
Begins with a blank slide
Check that the song starts with a blank slide. This slide should have Actions on it (two little icons in the corner). If the slide or Actions are missing, add them (see below).
Full Page Lyrics Theme is applied
Make sure all songs are using the correct Theme (formerly, Template). Highlight the songs from the playlist and then click the Theme button on the top toolbar. Go to Lyric Styles > Custom and choose Full Page Lyrics.
Slides are in the right order
As the worship team practices be sure your lyrics match theirs and make any edits needed to the lyrics or arrangement.
2) Countdown Timer
The first slide of the Countdown & Pre-Roll document will have an action on it that starts the 5-min countdown timer. After the timer is run, though, it has to be manually reset before you can start it again.
Check that the timer is reset and ready to use
- At the top of the window is a Timers button. Click to show the timer and make sure the count is at 5:00.00. If it's not, hit the reset button just to the left.
Check that slides have the countdown applied to them
- Look at the slide thumbnail for a countdown banner in the upper corner.
- If you don't see that banner, right-click on the slide, go to Themes > Countdowns and choose Countdown Top Right.
3) Message Slides
Be sure you have the Back Wall doc in the playlist just above the imported message slides
- The Back Wall slide has Actions that will change settings for the Stage Display and Live Stream output. If it's not in the playlist, add it in.
Be sure the Back Wall doc is set to the Announcements layer
- Check that there is a green circle on the playlist item. If there's not, click the circle icon on the right side of the document header and choose Announcements.
Add any videos to the message slides document
- Open Finder drag the file from the Dropbox folder to insert it between slides wherever it is supposed to go.
4) Set videos to stop after playback (they loop by default)
- Right-click on the video and choose Inspector. Click the Properties tab and then change the Playback Behavior dropdown from Loop to Stop.
