You open the dvd player, put in a disc and hit play. You'd think that the video was just a file on the disc. It's not that simple, though. One of the best things about DVDs is the multiple language and multiple angle support. When you think about it, it's obvious that audio and video aren't connected. It's actually a pretty complex process. I suppose it's possible to duplicate the file structure from one to another, but I wouldn't do it.
Making a DVD is actually one of the last things to do. You can use some introductory software to do it, but for maximum flexibility, you really need a high end package.
I usually map out a DVD in my mind before I create it. I know there's a primary feature; sometimes there are secondary ones, too. What's most important in a disc determines how you create it.
Let's start with the menu. You might know that menus can have a still, video, solid color, or some combination background. The video background will loop if you want it to. It's not seamless, though. The laser has to get from where the video ends on the disc in the background to where it starts. This doesn't take long, but it doesn't happen instantaneously either. To get around this problem, professionally authored DVDs begin and end with a still frame and the music fades to silent.

What are some things you can do to actually make changes real? Start with goals, not resolutions. Pick one and make it a habit in January. Next, pick another and make it a habit in February, and so on.

Not all updates to ProPresenter are flashy and that's true of today's features.
In fact, you may not have heard about them at all b/c RV didn't announce them.
Not to worry, though, I found them and will tell you what they do.
Just above and watch my latest tutorial on unannounced changes in Pro7.8.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech Help for Churches, Twitter: What you're doing wrong with your profile
A lot of people make a bunch of mistakes when it comes to their twitter profiles. First, your name matters. Choose a name to use based on the type of account. If it's a church account, use your church's name. If it's your personal account, use a personal name.
[tweet "Be careful with using your denomination's website in your Twitter profile."]
For the twitter handle, you'll have to be creative at this point. Maybe you leave out characters or substitute numbers, but it's the case that you need to make it appropriate to the account. Don't go with random characters or a joke no one else will get.
For websites, make sure you don't use your facebook page. Be careful with going with the denominational website, too. That might be seen as tacit agreement with all of their stands and policies (even if you don't wholly agree).

It's New Tutorial Tuesday. Have you ever needed to do this?
From time to time, you'll be asked to show something that ProPresenter doesn't show. Maybe it's a poll OR a live-stream OR your church's new website (and they want you to interact with it).
How do you get it into ProPresenter?
Try this trick. It requires third-party software, but it's free and not hard to do.

I get that churches have really tight budgets. Tech often can seem like a leech, draining every last bit of wiggle room from what little you have.
