Bug in 2/26/10 build by infotech in User Support - V7- I have a big problem. I downloaded the new build and now I can no longer "right click" in only one part - but a very important part - of the program. Each week I have been importing the songs for our Sunday service from our old powerpoint slides. From Songs>Import From>PowerPoint Presentation, I can scroll to the folder on my computer that contains all of our song presentations. Choosing one song brings it up in the "Import Song from PowerPoint" dialog box. I then click on a slide and the contents of that frame shows up in the text box. It's here I am having a problem - I can't edit the text. For example, in the very first frame of each of my ppt presentations we have the title, author and first few lines of the song. In SSP this formats, for some reason, with the title and author at the bottom of the text box - so I have to right click on the title and author info, cut, and then paste it in at the top. Then I cut the author and lyrics out, leaving just the title so I can click on the "Title" button and insert the title into SSP. Same method for the author - and then the lyrics. It's a bit cumbersome, but it works okay. Until now - now, for some strange reason, I can no longer right click in this part of the program. I can right click elsewhere in the program, and in my computer - so it's not my computer or my mouse. I also opened SSP in our presentation computer and experience the exact same behaviour. So the only explanation is that something has happened in the newest version. HELP!!
I will be able to bring songs into the song library from SongSelect (but I don't really like to have to do that because it's much more time consuming to search CCLI than my computer files). However I have tested and found that I can get "new material" through that method and the cut and paste edit function works. It seems to be strictly a problem with importing from powerpoint presentations into the song library.

H.264 videos or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up (TS097) by George in Troubleshooting- Symptom:
H.264 Video or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up when added or viewed.
Possible Cause:
It appears that there are some H.264 video that can cause trouble in SSP. At this time this is very rare, however, the root cause of this is still under investigation.
Possible Solution:
This was discovered using movie trailer files that would play fine in applications other than SSP. At this time there is no solution but it is best to try a different file to make sure it is not a wider issue. Please contact the Support Team and provide the video file for analysis.

RE: Audio clip doesn't restart when slide show restarts by George in User Support - V7Hmm - Interesting...
I just tried this using blank slides entered as program elements and got the same expected behavior I described before. Are you using "blank" blank slides (default blank slide is black color only) or do you have something else set for your blank slides?
I would say at this point if the behavior persists and you can duplicated it, contact the support team so they can do a remote with you and actually see what is going on.

RE: SSP Version 5.5 with SongSelect Online by iamgap in User Support - V5.5
I too would recommed that you backup/archive/zip your current R-Technics folder and install the evaluation of version seven. If the PC cannot handle it, which I doubt, do a complete uninstall of Version 7 and go back to version 5.5.
It is my understanding that version 7 is much more stable, and can function more efficiently on an older machine than version 5.5 can.

RE: 32bit vs. 64bit by iamgap in User Support - V7 on Windows 7
To add yet another fly into the ointment...
I didn't realize that my MoBo has a 4 year old (2 yr older than the mobo) chip on it (intel 945). So even though the processor and motherboard can support up to 4 GB of RAM, the chipset can only address 3.2 GB of RAM.
What I am most upset about is that the board advertised that it could support up to 4 GB of RAM, but didn't say it could only address 3.2. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought this board. Time for an upgrade. Now I gotta find a board that supports the RAM that I just bought for this board.

- Video (*.m4v)
- Video (*.mp4v)
- Video (*.mov)
- Movie Clip (*.mpg)
- Movie Clip (*.mpeg)

RE: SSP loses audio when run with PowerDVD by norvilles in User Support - V7- Ah. Never would have thought that those two things would go hand in hand.

RE: Animated GIF Support by pgulezian in User Support - V7- Cool!! I wonder when they'll finally add this as a feature??? I also wonder WHY it hasn't been added in the past. It just seems like a "No Brainer", because it's a basic feature to support. ESPECIALLY, because we're dealing with a projection type of program. Like I said, PowerPoint supports it and probably has for years... I guess it just confuses me as to why it wasn't always a part of SSP, being the awesome program that it is. GIF's MUST be harder to deal with than I think.
Thanks for your reply.

RE: Troubleadvancing through a program by osborn4 in User Support - V7- If you can reproduce it, I'd contact tech support.
You might want to try installing the latest release to see if that shakes anything loose.

Does December 2009 Edition Support Unicode? by CFC in User Support - V7- My license expires at the end of this month. The beta version I tried didn't support Russian language when displaying songs. There is no point for me to renew license unless the problem was fixed (September 2009 Edition supports Russian songs). I'm sure there are many other non-English churches that would be interested in SSP if it supported unicode.
To SSP developers: any news regarding unicode support?

RE: Resizing rotated graphics by Lucas in Beta Test Support- To me that makes perfect sense, cause it's keeping the image in the correct aspect.

RE: SSP Crashes when adding a song by KingsleyUMC in User Support - V7- Update 3:
I have updated to the december release. It appears the problem has gone away for the time being. I noticed there was an update in the visualitation'S .dll . Also this machine is 4+ years old. I wonder if the video card might not be beefy enough for the improvements you have give the program during that time. I did run the hardware test and it didn't have a problem with the card.
Well, the problem is under control for the time being. Let's let it die.

RE: Exporting slide show from one computer to another by iamgap in User Support - V7
As Joel said, add the slide show to a program, save the program, and then Package to Go.
You can also save the SSB to an external drive, and you can copy it to another computer. The down side to this is all the linked files (images and videos) will need to be copied also, and then pasted to a relative location on the other PC.

RE: Computer Setups by norvilles in The 'Wave Pool'- Well I see what you mean.
There is the debate between Linux, Mac and Windows. Then there is the debate between what Distro.
But Linux is becoming increasingly popular. You see it more and more often on the laptops of those setting in StarBucks.
But, all I'm saying is that if SSP could open up to the different platforms, that would be great.
And there will always be bugs in programs, no matter what. That is unavoidable.
Unless its a simple:
class Driver {
static void main(string[]args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

RE: Alpha Channel Video Over Motionback Video by techarts in User Support - V7- Still no luck on SlideShow method but the Program video method worked very well using the Alpha Channel "bridge" or "chorus1", "chorus2", "verse1", etc with a motion background display property.
I'll keep working on the Slide Show method though until I get what you are saying it should do...

RE: Screen Layout? by osborn4 in The 'Wave Pool'- We use simple fades throughout and it really does soften the delivery.
I use graphics and some motion behind all the lyrics and will vary where the lyrics are based on the background. I use different but related background throughout a service.
I add (through advanced effects) a reverse shadow (from lower right) of .2 with no blur. That really makes the characters pop on a lighter background.
