UPDATED: ProPresenter 7 Tutorial: How to use the Props and Messages Layers

[@plowery7316]

Love the flexibility of Props!

[@PaulClifford]

Yep.

Hey Paul - I'm not clear on how layout is impacted when I want a message to only display in the sanctuary on my IMAG screens and not go to the internet. You mentioned layout in the video, but I never saw anything on the screen.

@@chrisashe3712 what you want to do is take a look at my tutorial on LOOKS. you’ll need one screen for each destination from within pro presenter, so one for your live stream and one for your in person congregation. Then, you can use edit looks to disable the message (or whichever) layer for the screen that you don’t want it to show up on. Within looks, you can make various presets, so just because it’s like that for one moment, doesn’t mean it has to stay like that for the next. It’s up to you.

Hi, I want to ask why when I want to add an image to the prop but an error appears and it can't be imported?

[@PaulClifford]

What image format are you using and where are the files stored?

In the messages layer how can I make the words come out in 1 row while moving left? I was able to make the words move but its displaying the messages in 2 rows and I would like it to be only 1 row. I don't know if that makes sense?

[@PaulClifford]

You'd have to do two messages since the messages layer doesn't enable you to select some words in one textbox and others in another. Would that work? BTW, make sure you're not adding unnecessary distraction. I can't fully picture what you're trying to do, but sounds like something I've seen done in PowerPoint (shudder) ;) and it didn't add to the information in any way.

I see you can add a video input as a PIP and place it in a corner. Is it possible to do a PIP and have it link to a current slide. Have the video as the primary display and the slider as a PIP. Presently lower third doesn’t always work for the text we have on the screen.

[@PaulClifford]

Use a screen preview instead.
