BEST PRACTICES

Running Announcement Slides

• Once the congregation is asked to be seated, put the Vox Church “Welcome” slide on screen
  • Whenever there is not a slide for an announcement, this should be the holding slide in its place
• Once an announcement date or title has been said, that is the cue for the announcement slide
  • Example: “On Saturday we’re having our Illume worship night”, cue the worship night slide
  • This slide will remain up until the announcement is over
• Once the host begins talking about offering, whether it is with a scripture or a story, the “Ways to Give” slide should be projected and remain up until the end of the offering prayer

Transition from ProPresenter to Stream

• As the bumper video plays, you will want to get prepared to press play on the Resi cue for sermon
  • This cue should already be selected by clicking the “Go To” button once it has appeared in the CUES tab
• As the bumper finishes, click play on Resi and then press “Auto” on the Blackmagic video switcher
  • This will fade from ProPresenter into the stream video

Transition from Stream to ProPresenter

• Once the speaker asks the congregation to stand, a blank screen should be selected in ProPresenter
• Once the video content from stream fades to black, press “Auto” on the Blackmagic video switcher
  • This will fade from the stream back into ProPresenter
• Once ProPresenter is displayed, click pause in Resi to stop video playback
  • Even though the stream is no longer being projected, content is still being played, which is why we want to pause it to prevent any audio issues
