Alpha channels are the best way to key 3. Backups are your friend 4. Bible in Pro7 act like physical Bibles; they can only be one place at a time, unless you buy multiple copies. 5. Check last week's and next week's playlists after you update 6. Delay updates until you have time to fix any potential problems; Never update right before church. 7. Export playlists & Presentations to move them to other machines (and know the difference between the two). 8. Learn what each of the editors do and what they're best for. 9. Fade isn't what you want; dissolve is (most of the time). 10. Go to next timers work differently with foreground and background videos. 11. Help is always close at my Official ProPresenter Users' Community on Facebook OR support@renewedvision.com. Reach out to support earlier, rather than later. 12. Hotkeys are your friends, especially when the Holy Spirit moves or the lead singer forgets his or her place (not that I'm judging). 13. Know the details of ProPresenter+; I think it's worth the money. 14. Keyboard shortcuts will save you a ton of time. 15. Lists can do more that bullets and reveals; sometimes real fun stuff. 16. Libraries are great organizational tools. 17. Modules are a thing of the past; all functions are now included in Pro7. 18. Learn to when to use media playlists for more than just organization. 19. Never put your ProPresenter folder in a cloud drive 20. Change slides early for music; the next to last syllable is my guideline. 21. Operators need to know the basics of ProPresenter troubleshooting. 22. Props are too powerful to use willy-nilly. Often you can use messages instead of props. 23. Use every other layer FIRST before using a prop, if you can. 24. Avoid PowerPoint whenever you can. 25. Getting sermon notes as a text file with a folder of media is faster and easier for everyone and yields a better presentation than most alternatives. 26. Request notes early. 27. Quit ProPresenter when you're done with it each day that you use it. 28. Routing audio correctly inside ProPresenter will prevent feedback and other issues. 29. Don't forget to signup to get my Pro7 Quickstart course at TDM.fyi/pro7quick. 30. Never use a hack when there's a feature that does EXACTLY the same thing. 31. The "Stage Only" action is the correct way to show stuff (like lyrics) on the stage screen and not the audience screens. 32. Try to get by with a cut; you probably can. 33. Themes will make your life easier & your presentations more consistent-looking. 34. You can use an unregistered version of Pro7 to create playlists and presentations. 35. Use a video switcher for IMAG or more than three or so live video sources. 36. When your slides look odd, like they only show text and it's formatted differently and larger, that's PROBABLY easy view mode. 37. Automate and transfer playlists with Planning Center. 38. If you want to do chord charts, Multitracks is DEFINITELY worth it. 39. Pay attention to reliable sources. 40. Search and drag presentations into the playlists; trust me, it's easier. 41. Automate when possible with timecode, midi, and calendars 42. If you think you'll reuse and action, put it into a macro instead. 43. Use the CCLI editor to display copyright information. 44. Stage screens can do more than just show lyrics AND can be used for people other than just those leading from the front. 45. If you use the reflow editor, it will change your life! No seriously! 46. Use looks presets, but only if you have multiple audience screens. 47. If you do the same song, different ways, use arrangements. 48. Masks are awesome if you have environmental projection, odd-shaped screens, OR motorized screens that you sometimes don't lower all the way. 49. Use the announcement layer for teaching TVs and other things, not just announcements. 50. It's abbreviated "Pro7" not ProP, PP, ProPre, or ProPres...or some other random thing. == Links to the equipment I use (or updated versions) for my tutorials (affiliate links): Camera: https://amzn.to/3SEm573 Tripod: https://amzn.to/3mj7zWc Streamdeck XL: https://amzn.to/41xPILo Streamdeck: https://amzn.to/3Zb2XA4 ATEM switcher: https://amzn.to/3mgn4OY Yolobox pro (recording and live-stream encoding): https://amzn.to/3IXY2wN Blackmagic Video Assist recorder: https://amzn.to/3KGNBiB Decklink Duo2 card: https://amzn.to/3J2xRFg Sonnet Thunderbolt 3 chassis: https://amzn.to/3Yb5M31 Shure SLX wireless microphone: https://amzn.to/3mgnqoM Apple Magic Keyboard: https://amzn.to/3SzOZFz Apple Magic Trackpad: https://amzn.to/3kz5CEG OR visit https://www.amazon.com/shop/paulalanclifford ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRnvejxB8Yk
