ProPresenter 6 is a very powerful program. A lot of churches uses it to display lyrics and play the occasional video, but it can do so much more.
[tweet "Here are 5 things you didn't know Pro6 could do...especially number one. Take a look:"]
1. Show videos with transparency. I think this is the least known thing it can do. Imagine that you build a lyric video, but your lighting director changes her mind on the color scheme. If it's a ProRes 4444 video with transparency, changing the background is trivial.

ProPresenter 5 Tutorial: Ripping DVDs in MPEG Streamclip for ProPresenter
If you're having trouble with the built-in DVD ripper in ProPresenter 5, like I am, here's how to rip using MPEG Streamclip.
In this tutorial, I show you the right place to get MPEG Streamclip, what settings to use to rip your DVD and you can see a 2 minute clip rip in real time.
As a bonus, I show a strategy for dealing with 4x3 videos when you've got a 16x9 screen that isn't cropping or stretching.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech, No Babel: 5 ways to make your videos stand out.
As equipment gets cheaper and cheaper, the ability to make quality videos will rest not in your budget, but your abilities. Here are 5 ways to make the most of your videos.
1. Great sound. The most important thing in any video is good sound. Never use a built-in mic. A pristinely lit, 4k video that sounds like it was shot in a bank vault or in a noisy crowd, but wasn't, is a bad video.
2. Genre. Every type of video has a structure, a skeleton, if you will. Understand the basic structure of similar videos and build from there; not use a wildly different structure.
3. Learn from the best; not the best in the Church. Look for people who are the best in the world and learn from them.
4. Use the right transition. The art in video is in the story, the content, the flow, not what transition. You should almost always use a cut, sometimes a cross-dissolve, rarely anything else.

Here are today's questions:
DM on CTL:
I am about to start a project that will involve quite a bit of interview-style videos. I am wondering what you all recommend in terms of lav vs. shotgun. I have used a shotgun (both mounted on the camera as well as on a boom pole) but I have never used a wireless lav before. I am about to make the purchase of either a wireless system or a quality boom. What have you found to give the best sound?
LA on g+
Here's a question for the community, I was going to send it to one of the podcasts about podcasting, but decided to post it here instead:

http://trinitydigitalmedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech, No Babel: Gift Ideas for the Church Techy
This isn't an exhaustive list, but just the things that I'd want if people were giving gifts to me. That's not to say I'm asking for them (unless you're offering) ;). Instead, these are just ideas for some things that some people in my area might want.
Better internet (who doesn't want that?)

You may have notice that my YouTube videos end with an image that seems perfect for adding a youtube annotation to send people to other videos. You might have also noticed that until recently, almost none of my videos actually had the annotations.
