I can't wait to try this new effect! This is one of my wishes, but it sounds like you threw in a few steroids with it.

Am I the only one that can't get the examples to load? The progress bar gets about half way across, and then stalls. The examples are all white, and a right-click states that the movie isn't loaded.

Too bad Lee's still not doing this. This was his dream and he would have loved it.

Looks great! I'll be upgrading soon and trying this out.

Does it have to come to a complete stop before it fades to the next slide, as the demo does?

It doesn't have to, but it looks like that is how the Photo Slides Builder constructs slide show.

I just used that this weekend. Some missionaries at our church had about 50 pics for a slide show.

I used the photoslides builder with pan/zoom and really kicked it up a notch over just static pictures.

I will work with it to see if I can get it to fade to the next before it comes to a complete stop. ealy experimentation looks good.

Question: Does the automatic pan/zoom configurator somehow use a face finder or something to decide what to pan/zoom? It seems to do a pretty good job for an automated artistic process.

No it doesn't. However, for the auto mode, we put some thought into the question of, if we know nothing about an image, what pans and zooms are most likely to look good. The auto mode is not simply a random selection of pans and zooms.

I could use a little further explanation of the various possible input items. I'm not quite sure how to do "multipath" and the beginning and ending locations are confusing if they are already designated in the path.

RE: Import lots of XML Songs by osborn4 in User Support - V7

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.

Change DataPath to use external drive? by jmsuttle in User Support - V7

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,
Jessica

I didn't see the H.264 Plugin listed at SSPSTORE.com is it available now?

RE: New Plug-ins Now Available by markrief in Latest News

I plan to purchase the H.264 plug-in.

Do I need one for each system, or is it a stie license for the projection and and workstation systems?

Thanks, Mark

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.

RE: Title Slides for Songs by osborn4 in Feature Reviews

Yes. I do basically the same thing (only I call the song part Opening) and it works fine.

But it will be nice to not have to do this anymore.

RE: Title Slides for Songs by Real Life Community in Feature Reviews

This is a great new feature. This will certainly be easier than the work around I've been using for some time now. I make a song part titled 'title' and hit enter in the spot where the lyrics are typed. Now when this part is displayed, it has no lyrics but has the title on the screen. You can then put this as the first thing in the verse sequence and have the same effect as this new feature. In case anyone was getting anxious to use this it is possible to do it now.

RE: List of Short List songs by osborn4 in Tips & Tricks

I should paste into 2003 (I've done it). I don't think I was able to paste into Word 2000. I've never tried 2002.
