ProPresenter Tutorial: How to show multiple live video sources at once

[@BrentCordis]

Could you not do this all in different themes on each output without needing to use props or announcements?

[@BrentCordis]

I do this already on my production.

Themes aren't really supposed to be used that way, but yes, under certain circumstances you could (but you'd have to make sure that the default theme didn't have a live video source, or you'd have to hide it with visibility or by moving it off the slide). You could also use a grouped screen to place them on unique screens within each layer. There are only 8 possible live-video sources, though, so at a certain point, it's not going to help you do so (because you'd already be dealing with 8 sources).

​@@PaulCliffordis it possible to demo how to do group screen? Is it possible to use group screen to show a big motion graphics across left, center, right screen using group screen and still show lyrics on different format? Could it then also toggle to show live video on left and right with layering lyrics on top of the live video but center screen is showing just the center part of the motion graphics and lyrics on top?

[@PaulClifford]

@@michelleshia Yep. I think I talked about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoSqiI2BoZqEmM0 (it's an older tutorial, so the UI is a little different, but I think it should still help).

@PaulClifford got it. Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

Wondering if you've ever run into this problem: I'm having a difficult time using the keyboard. It has such a long lag time that it's virtually unusable for editing or even changing slides with the arrow or space keys. I've tried changing to a different keyboard and using new batteries, but no luck. The keyboard works fine in all other programs on the computer and the mouse is OK. If I remove and reinsert the sending unit it works for a short time and then lags again. Any suggestions?

ProPresenter 17 had that problem on some Macs. Try upgrading to 17.1. If you have already, or you're on Windows, reach out to [e-mail] and get their help.
