Has anyone taken a look at this new product yet?

iWorship Flexx

Looks like it might work well with background improv, but then you wouldn't get any sounds.

But it says it works with SSP.


If we had automatic firing of cues (sorry, program elements), you could set them up in a predetermined order and have them just play through.

But it looks like they were meant to be used ad lib.

Wow I'd Love to try that. Thanks Joel. I'll send the link to our worship leader and see what he says. Would I be able to do it From Background Improv I could Have one Folder per song and let our band play the song or I guess I could play from the Video Panel directly. It would take some practice but would Be Great.

The timing could be tricky w/o having the click track fed to the band to keep them on beat. And if you're using background improv, you won't get any sound out of them.

But if you think it would work w/o that, give it a go and let us know!

Joel, you could use a video chain for pre-determined orders.

That retail price of $149.95 would be a deal killer for me.

I can see the sound track being part of a music video but am not sure how the clips work.  Is the sound track separate?  Just guessing but I think the clips are for use with a full band so all you need is video.

There are separate clips that come with different tracks. Either a split track, so you can separate out the vocals from the accompaniment, or a click track, that you feed to your drummer's monitor, so he keeps everyone on pace.

With the animated words, it's very important that the band keep pace with the video.

Definitely not something you just add Sunday morning and ask to band to play with the Video. But with practice it may work. Or just let the Band sit this one out and play the Soundtrack with the Video(s).

My understanding is that each video would have the soundtrack(in the Video File) that would match the Words that are in that Segment/Verse and if you wanted to play the Chorus three times then each time you "restarted" the Chorus Video you'd also be restarting the Soundtrack automatically. but I wonder how the transition between the different Video/Soundtrack segments would be. Would the sound go silent for a split second?

As far as the Price yes $149.95 is high for 15 Songs but it is a resource that you now can use anytime you sing one of those songs and if you use those songs twice a month for 12 months the Price per use goes way down.

I forwarded it to our worship leader and he said we Might get one to see how it works. I'll let you know when we get to test It. Now I just have to figure out if there is more than one Set or if other Iworship Tracks will be available as a "Flex Pak"

I too just sent this link to the MD.

We recently had a situation when the Praise Team musicians weren't available. The traditional service pianist showed up late to play, and she was way off on everything. It really would have been better acapella. Having a resource like this would have been great.

Update. There's no sound on the separate parts. But there is a soundtrack with the whole video.

Adding sounds to transitions by clee in User Support - V7

As a former PowerPoint user, I would often find the need to add sounds to my transitions, such as a bang, roar, etc.  any kind of a wav file.  Is there a way to do so in SSP?  For instance, in the middle of a bible verse, I want to add a sound effect.  The old way that I would do so in PowerPoint would be to duplicate a slide, and have no movement transition but sound only on the second slide.  I would advance the slide when the sound was needed.  I would really appreciate any advice on this!  Thx!

Here's the XML format that SSP uses.

Hopefully that will help. I've not tried it before.

Background improv issue by iamgap in User Support - V7


If Background Improv is set as your default motion background, you cannot use an image background. Even if you have Transparent as the Default Background. I have also tried No Change, and the Background Image will not show. I have to set Background Improv to None. IMO this negates the advantage of Background Improv.

This started as soon as I installed the 6/30/2009 update.

EDIT:
I just found that if I manually click the transparent button on the Plug-in Panel, the background image becomes available. It is as if the Display Properties is not triggering the Transparent option as it should.

RE: Import lots of XML Songs by iamgap in User Support - V7


I haven't used it, but there is an import from XML feature. It is not a default Plug-in, so you have to select it during the install. You can add it by running the SSP installer again. The installer will only install items you check. Also note that it is a Professional plug-in, so you cannot install it if you have a basic license.

You can also install the Plug-in using the SSP Updater. Start Menu\Programs\SongShow Plus\SongShow Plus Update. Select All available components and Click here to check for updates. XML Importer will be an option under the Proffessional Level Plug-ins.

RE: May 2009 Edition Released by osborn4 in Latest News

If your projector has a freeze function and the content of the main screen isn't going to change, then you could freeze the main projector and show whatever you want on the secondary display.

But you'd have to remember to change what you are displaying back before you unfroze the main projector.

RE: May 2009 Edition Released by bhackle2 in Latest News

If they make the second screen editable that would be hugh!

I was looking at Media Shout for that reason. Every support person I talked to said the same thing "the second display shows the same as the first except no background", but on the forums I found a person that found a way to edit the second display. I would rather use Song Show. Our media team really likes its ease of use.

RE: May 2009 Edition Released by osborn4 in Latest News

As I understand it, the feature will only show the same words on both monitors, just different formatting.

RE: May 2009 Edition Released by bhackle2 in Latest News

I'm excited about the secondary display output. Has anyone figured out how to edited the secondary display? We currently use two computers. One computer displaying lyrics only for the congregation, and the other computer displaying lyrics and notes to the praise team. If Song Show will allow editing of the secondary display, we can get by with one less computer and operator.

RE: Change DataPath to use external drive? by osborn4 in User Support - V7

Yes. In SSP, go to Tools -> Utilities and select Data Files Setup From there, follow the bouncing ball.

You will need to be sure and have that drive attached whenever you fire up SSP. But I don't know why it wouldn't work.

I just added an external drive to our media computer, and would like to change the data/file path for our SSP items to this external drive.  Is it possible to change the default file location?  If so, please direct me to the function in SSP.  The current location default is as follows:

DataPath: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\R-Technics\SongShow Plus

Thank you in advance,

Am I correct in my thinking that the New Public Bibles are already included in the install; and the $25 fee is per machine/per translation only for the bibles listed above?
Yes, you are correct. At least the public domain versions got loaded with the preview version. So I would assume they are still there.
