VideoPsalm

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.

1. Right-click the highlighted video in the video gallery:

2. In the popup menu that appears, adjust the black flash duration:

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.

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 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.

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:

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.
