AV SUNDAY SETUP

  • Press the button near the bottom left of the AV rack in the Ladies Choir Vestry (room at the back of church).

  • Press the button once on the left on the front of the AV computer (under the AV desk).

  • On the 'Apps' tab of the Stream Deck, press the 'Launch Sunday Apps' button.

  • This means the main projector (white Panasonic remote in the AV computer drawer), the two side screens, the welcome screen on the column by the door (black Sony remote in the AV computer drawer), and the screen in the chancel (black Sony remote in the AV computer drawer, turn on and then launch the BirdDog app before selecting 'DESKTOP-AR8BC8U (Audience)' from the list of inputs).

  • Click the '+' button in the top left panel of ProPresenter, then select 'Planning Center Service'. In the pop-up window, expand the 'Sunday Gathering' list and select the service for today.

  • Drag the presentations needed for the service into the playlist from the 'Central Assets' and 'Liturgy' libraries. These will likely include a 'Notices Slideshow' for before and after the service, a 'Countdown', a 'Sunday Club' graphic for when Sunday Club is spoken about at the front (or a 'Kids Graphic' if it's Kids Church today), the 'Peace' slides, and a 'Sermon Graphic' if we're doing a sermon series.

  • Liase with a member of staff to find out today's scripture reading, then navigate to the 'Bible' tab in ProPresenter and type in this bible reference. Select the generated slides and click 'Save as...', then 'Save as Presentation'. Now find this presentation in the 'Scripture' library and drag it into your playlist. Select all the slides and add the 'Scripture' Audience Look and the 'Current/Next' Stage Action. Finally, to add a title slide, right click on one of the slides and choose 'Edit Slide'. In the 'Edit' tab, click the '+' button at the top of the lefthand panel and add a 'Central Default/Main Screen Text' theme slide. Move it to be the first slide, then edit the text to display the scripture reference and the page number on a new line underneath. Go back to the 'Show' tab and add a 'Presentation' Audience Look and 'Current/Next' Stage Action to the title slide.

    Next, repeat the steps above, but instead add the 'Sermon Scripture' Audience Look (you also don't need to add a title slide). Use this presentation during the sermon! Audience Look

  • Go through each worship song (which should've been imported automatically) in the playlist and check that the 'Worship' Audience Look and 'Current/Next' Stage Action is applied to every slide. If only the first slide has Actions applied to it, right click on the slide and choose 'Remove Actions', then 'Remove All' before adding Actions to all the slides.

    Any kids songs need to have the 'Kids Song' Audience Look applied instead. They also need to have the correct theme applied. If you are importing a new Kids Song, make sure to select all the slides, then right click and select 'Themes', then 'Central Default/Kids Song Main Screen Lyrics'. This enables the Kids graphic background to be correctly displayed on the stream.

    If a worship song has not imported correctly, click on the search icon on the right of the presentation in the playlist and search for the song in the pop-up window to link it.

  • Firstly, ask the Sound Operator to turn the stage lights on if they aren't already.

    Then, head to the 'Cameras' tab on the Stream Deck. Use the arrow buttons to position the camera, and the zoom buttons to adjust the framing. Start by framing up the Worship leader. Next repeatedly press the 'vMix Input to Update' button to cycle through the different camera presets until you get to ‘Worship Leader’. Now press ‘UPDATE INPUT’ to save the current camera position to the ‘Worship Leader’ preset. Repeat this process for ‘Band 1’, ‘Band 2’ and ‘Band 3’.

You’re all set! Don’t forget to start the countdown and livestream at 10:25AM!
