Hello Robert, Here is what you can do: 1. Add your songs for the service to the agenda. 2. Select all your agenda songs. 3. Right click the songs and select "Hide the text then switch off". This will tell VideoPsalm to hide the text of the last slide on "Next slide", so that only the background of the last slide is shown, then on "Next slide" again, VideoPsalm will show the blank screen: To show a first slide with only the background at the beginning of a song, before the first verse, edit the song text and add a space on a new line before the first line and then insert a blank line (press "Enter" twice). This will create a first blank slide, that will produce the effect you need. Does this work for you? Feel free to send me an agenda with some songs at videopsalm@gmail.com and I will send it back to you with the above changes, so that you can try it out for yourself.

Can you use the stage view screen? https://myvideopsalm.weebly.com/blog/how-to-display-and-setup-the-stage-view Please describe more in details what is your workflow/use case.

Hi Graham, Thank you for reporting the bug. Hopefully this will be corrected in a future version.

Thank you for your feature request to add a preview panel and move the lyrics editor to a separate dialog. These features are on the list of things to do, and your request adds weight to it. For now, you can use the "Snowflake" button to protect the presentation screen from any changes while you edit the next song. Note that during the presentation, it is perfectly possible to enter a new song, modify a song, or modify the currently displayed song.

You can set this up for each agenda items: In case you most of the time want to continue with the next item, adjust the default value in the VideoPsalm options: Does this work for you? Additional read: https://myvideopsalm.weebly.com/blog/three-methods-to-display-a-backgroundlogo-between-two-songs

To show verse number 1 of 5, use following footer template: [Verse rank] of [Verse count] Let me know if the following article describes this task well enough: https://myvideopsalm.weebly.com/blog/show-the-song-slide-number-in-the-footer

Hello Adesanya, Thank you for making me aware of the availability of the Bible books. I added your request to the list of Bibles to update.

Thank you for describing your scenario. It makes a lot of sense. I added your feature request to the list of things to do. At the moment, what you can do is: 1. Open the SongPro background parent folder in a Windows File Explorer. 2. Select all the files from a sub-folder, right-click on the selection and select "Properties". 3. In the dialog that opens, in the "Details" tab, type the name of the folder in the "Tag" field. This will assign the folder name to all selected backgrounds. 4. Repeat step 3 for all folders (and their backgrounds). 5. When you are finished tagging all backgrounds, open again the the SongPro background parent folder. In the search field (at the top right), search for all the images, for example by typing *.* This will select all files. Copy all these files and paste them into the VideoPsalm background folder. Normally, this task will not take much time, even for hundreds of backgrounds. What do you think?

Thank you for your feature suggestion. It is already in the list of things to do, and your request adds weight to it. However, I don't know when it will be implemented.

Hi Martin, While your suggestion seems like a good idea, a background can only be put in one folder. Instead, put all images in the Backgrounds folder and assign one or more "tags" to each file. When you search for a background, enter a tag in the VideoPsalm search area. VideoPsalm will instantly filter your images. This is a flexible way to assign multiple tags to an image. Does this work for you? Additional information here: https://myvideopsalm.weebly.com/blog/select-an-image-or-a-video

Hello Justin, The recommended VideoPsalm version is 1.27 beta - February 18, 2024, available here: https://bit.ly/VideoPsalm_1_27_Setup_beta Are you expecting any specific feature?

To send the video signal to two or more projectors, use a video splitter. The following links are examples of such devices: - HDMI signal: https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-Keliiyo-Powered-Converter-Resolutions/dp/B076JDXPRG https://www.amazon.com/Splitter-LinkS-Amplifier-Source-Displays/dp/B0732MD43P or - VGA signal: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-VGASPL1VV-1-Feet-Video-Splitter/dp/B003AVPV1O

Yes, it is possible. Please let me know if the following article describes well enough how to configure your stage view: https://myvideopsalm.weebly.com/blog/how-to-display-and-setup-the-stage-view

Thank you for letting me know. How many seconds does your VideoPsalm take to load? Mine takes 25 seconds to load 6000 songs, 25 Bibles, 75 images and 20 background videos. The recommended VideoPsalm is version 1.27 (beta). It works better than any previous version, has more features and loads faster than 1.26. It is available here: https://bit.ly/VideoPsalm_1_27_Setup_beta VideoPsalm 2.0 will have faster startup time (hopefully available in 2025).

The template that you are looking for is called [Verse count]. This template is available in VideoPsalm 1.27 (beta), which is the recommended version at the moment. It is available here: https://bit.ly/VideoPsalm_1_27_Setup_beta It is 100 % compatible with earlier version and has more features. To unselect individual verses in a song, unselect the check box to the left the song verse in its slide panel (top right). Another way of achieving the same result, is to use the "Song verse order" :

I am affraid that there is no possibility to import songs with their text formatting.

I am afraid it is not possible... What you can do is export your Google Slide Presentation into PowerPoint. Then add the PowerPoint to the VideoPsalm agenda. PowerPoint requirements In order for VideoPsalm to control a PowerPoint presentation, Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 or higher must be available on your PC. Notably, VideoPsalm cannot make use of the PowerPoint Viewer or LibreOffice Impress. If you don't own a Microsoft Office license, install Microsoft Office as a trial and you will be able to use its full features during 30 days for free. After the expiration of the trial period, you will still be able to use Microsoft Office. Some features will be disabled. You will still be able to use PowerPoint, as a viewer, which is great. Download the MS-Office 1 month trial at Microsoft from their official page, here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/try

Bonjour Patrick, Merci pour votre question. Chromecast est une technologie qui permet de projeter n'importe quel écran d'un PC sur un terminal compatible Chromecast. Et donc, c'est possible de caster l'écran de présentation de VideoPsalm. Si vous rencontrez des difficultés dans cette tâche, envoyez-moi un email à videopsalm@gmail.com pour trouver une solution. Pour compléter ma réponse à votre question VideoPsalm 2.0 aura des possibilités supplémentaires et permettra notamment d'afficher des diapositives sur un terminal connecté au réseau local du PC de VideoPsalm.

NDI integration Thank you for your suggestion to integrate NDI into VideoPsalm. This is in the list of things to do. It remains to be researched if this solution will improve the performance and reduce the networking delay. At the moment, it is advised to use the "NDI screen capture" tool found here: https://www.ndi.tv/tools/ To live stream a VideoPsalm presentation VideoPsalm enables live-stream to YouTube, Facebook, etc. using standard and free tools like OBS Studio. The setup mainly takes place in OBS Studio or vMix and Facebook or YouTube. In VideoPsalm: 1. Enable the presentation screen window icon in the VideoPsalm options: Open the VideoPsalm options -> "Presentation screen" tab -> "Display the presentation screen icon in the taskbar". For this change to be applied, close then restart VideoPsalm. The toolbar Presentation icon is useful for OBS Studio when selecting a source from the VideoPsalm presentation "window" or when using the Windows 10 virtual desktop feature. Alternatively, as an OBS source, you can select the "monitor" where VideoPsalm displays its presentation. 2. Setup VideoPsalm to display the lyrics at the bottom of the screen. This is sometimes called "lower third" or "subtitles mode". The live stream setup is done in 2 steps: 1. Connect Facebook to OBS Studio via a "Stream key": Facebook provides you with a "Stream key" that you pass-on to OBS Studio. 2. Connect OBS Studio to VideoPsalm via the OBS Studio "Source": In OBS Studio, create a new "Source" and select "Window", and select the VideoPsalm presentation screen. These 2 steps are described in the following video tutorial from EasyWorship: In case OBS shows a black screen, please check your graphic card settings, like described in the following YouTube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH3PQQDlhV8 Other interesting articles on the subject: The following article describes how to present on a PC/laptop and stream to YouTube/Facebook from another PC using the OBS Studio NDI Plugin: https://www.obs.live/articles/2019/5/1/how-to-stream-with-two-pcs-using-obs-studio-and-the-ndi-plugin The following article describes succinctly how to live stream via OBS Studio: https://www.facebook.com/VideoPsalm/posts/1897204963746654 vMix https://www.facebook.com/VideoPsalm/posts/1934321583368325 facebook live http://nathancreitz.net/facebook-live-for-churches OBS Tutorial | Add Lyrics + Scripture to Your Livestream (about VideoPsalm) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUtO50f-G9c
