Skip the black flash at the end of a looping video

1/31/2022

2 Comments

 
When a song has a looping video for its background, you may see a short black flash at the end of the video, before it restarts.
This topic describes how to remove the black flash in VideoPsalm 1.27.
Not all looping videos produce a black flash, but if it happens, here is how to fix this.
The video loop plays in the background.

At the end, it may show a short black flash.

Method 1 to remove the black flash

1. Right-click the highlighted video in the video gallery:
Picture
The video assigned to the song is highlighted in the video gallery
2. In the popup menu that appears, adjust the black flash duration:
Picture
The default black flash duration is 500 ms.
Depending on your system and on the video (not all videos produce a black flash), adjust the black flash duration.

Method 2 to remove the black flash

Use the video range selector, at the song level, and move the range selector 1/2 a second to the left:

Method 2 is not as good, as method 1, because you will need to do it to each song you assign this background video to.

This topic describes how to adjust the VideoPsalm dialog font size.
If you are looking at how to adjust the presentation screen text size, follow this link.

VideoPsalm automatically adjusts its font size to your Microsoft Windows settings.
To increase or decrease the size of the font in which Windows displays the application texts, open its display settings and make the text bigger:
Picture
This comes-in particularly handy when you have a monitor with lots of pixels, like a 4K resolution.
This setting will affect all applications, however you may not want that.
Or you may just not want to reboot or logout, simply to make the text bigger.
In this case, adjust the VideoPsalm font size in its options:

How to display and setup the stage view

This topic describes how to setup the stage view/confidence monitor, versus the presentation screen.

The stage view, also called "confidence monitor", is a specific display designed for the people on stage, that can show more or different things than what people attending the service are seeing.

What is a confidence monitor?

Presentation screen
Picture
To display the stage view:

1. In the top tool bar, select the "Message" tab and click the "Display" button in the "Stage view" group:
Picture
This displays the stage view window:
Picture
1. Dialog title
This area enables you to move the window with your mouse to a dedicated monitor or location on your screen.
Normally, you will want to move this dialog to a third monitor/HDMI/VGA output.

2. Maximize button
Normally, you will want to maximize the window so that it occupies the whole screen surface.

3. The currently displayed slide title (in this example, SOF #2719)

4. The currently displayed slide content (in this example, verse 2 lyrics)

5. The currently displayed slide type (Verse, chorus, etc.).

6. The song progress (verse 1, 2, 3, etc.)

7. The next song title (empty at the moment, because the next slide is still the same song).

8. The next slide content (in this example, verse 3 lyrics)

9. The next slide type

10. The current time

Move/resize this window to the adequate screen or location, and maximize it if necessary.

​
The stage view "Settings" button enables to select the font size and color and other settings.
​
To open the stage view settings, press the "Settings" button in the "Stage view" group:
Picture
This opens the stage view settings dialog:

Adjust the font size, font color, bold, italic, underline and font background to your liking.

You may want to hide the stage view screen borders, next slide, slide footer, progression and time.
