Hi all,
I'm a new user of VideoPsalm for our church. Previously we have used SongPro, but we're concerned about ongoing support and licensing going forward.
As a trial we are looking into other software packages, and a couple of weeks ago, we ran with VP and overall the results were good. One query, we have is about the font size. If there is a lot of text on screen, the font size gets reduced a lot, compared to screens within the same song, where there are few words, and the text size is massive. Ideally, we'd like to be able to choose the font size, and this would then apply to all words within the song. The slides I'm thinking of, were set up so that automatic word wrap was applied. Maybe, if there is a lot of text, it could roll round etc?
I realise that this would be a new feature, so in the meantime, maybe someone could explain how to get consistent sized text font to appear? We currently have it set to 70, but some slides appear to be around 25, and others around 150!
Thanks
Tony
Hi Tony,
Firstly, make sure to use at least VideoPsalm 1.27 (beta), available here:
https://bit.ly/VideoPsalm_1_27_Setup_beta
Can you send me screenshots of the problem at videopsalm@gmail.com
This will enable me to better understand the problem.
You can also post the screenshots here in the forum.
Please let me know if the following article helps:

VideoPsalm uses the concept of cascading style attributes, enabling you to define in the fewest clicks the style at any level : song verse, song, songbook, all songbooks, base.
When you are about to change, let's say, the background, verify the "Style" section, in the top toolbar, at the left.
There will be a drop-down menu to select the level (song verse, song, songs, songbook, etc.).
Make sure you select "Song", that way all the changes for background will apply to the whole song (all song verses).
The following articles describe how to make best use of cascading styles:
