In our sanctuary, I do have 6 running (on a different computer) with another dualhead2go, running to 2 front of house screens, and a third back of house screen. This set up has been working great with 2009, but not with 6. I originally had a dualhead2go set up in the youth room, but it has been disabled for a few months now, due to a cable issue, so we are totally by-passing the dualhead2go, and going straight to the projector.
I then opened up options in 6, and saw that it was using the secondary monitor, like it should have been. Looking at my laptop's extended screen settings, they matched the projectors 1080 x 768 settings, just as it has been for many years now. However when I opened up EZW 6, what I got on my projection screen was a tall, narrow logo screen, with about half of the screen being white (with the logo being on top of the white), and the other half of the screen being black. However I was planning on getting my feet wet by starting to use it during the youth group worship time. We haven't gone live with it yet though, as I just haven't gotten comfortable with it yet. When played on another computer that may be faster or slower than the one used to built the show, the audio and pictures can, and often do, get out of sync.I updated to V6 the day after it was released. PP plays the slides, theoretically timed as you have set the timing, but gets media player to play audio. Text over very "busy" backgrounds - makes the text hard to read.īe aware too that PP does NOT sync audio with it's slideshow. Overuse of transitions and animations - KISS! Keep It Simple S. Large white areas beside vertical pictures _ use a black background, it is much easier on the eyes.
#Easyworship 6 projection problems Pc#
Numerous issues here - Text with poor contrast to the background, making the text very hard to read, text way too small, colours, fancy fonts not on the projection PC (PP will substitute fonts if they are not on the projection PC and often with bad results - like one show I had when PP substituted the font for Wingding's which it felt was the best match for the missing font!!!, text filling the entire screen, black text on a glary white background and the list goes on and on.Īudio Video not playing - as outlined above Obviously, no video or audio plays on my computer when that happens!įonts. I have been given numerous PP shows where the video is actually back on the PC at home or office and NOT embedded into the actual show. Older versions of PP only LINK audio and video into the show. Personally, I shudder when given an unknown PP to play without being able to first check it and make sure it works as it is supposed to. Normally EW will not allow the cursor to go to the second monitor BUT when running a PP, you are actually running PP on that monitor and PP allows you to put the cursor on the projection screen so, you CAN get the cursor onto that monitor and click which sometimes makes the media play.
Clicking on the thumbnails in the Go Live column will only advance the slides - which is what EW is supposed to do. Problem is that when running a PP within EW, there is nowhere to click to make the media file run. Not only that, but you have just been given the file and have no idea it even is supposed to play audio/video! Ask the questions when given such a file. If not, this is your problem and you need to click to make the audio run. Try running the file directly in PP and see if the audio works automatically. Many people just drop an audio or video, then to make them run, you need to actually click (PP default) on that media to make it play. That means as soon as you go to the next slide (with say a video clip) the clip will play immediately without the need for any clicking. When inserting an audio or video file into PP, You must ALWAYS ensure that that media is set, in the animations to "Start With Previous". PowerPoint itself is also to blame on many occasions due to the defaults within the program and which no one thinks about - "plays OK on my computer at home" - hence my statement above!. In other words, some people have no idea when it comes to building PP shows. That was because of getting heaps of PP shows over many years which have poorly built. "Some people and PowerPoint should not mix" A long time ago I began making this statement. I have been doing projection using EW and PP for many years like 20 or so with EW and over 25 with PP.
