Embedded Files
Here we'll dive into each of the sections of that layout.
Main Section/Slides
Main Section/Slides
Most important is the main section (where all the slides are displayed). This is where the bulk of your time will be spent.
Preview Monitor
Preview Monitor
Looking towards the left side, towards the top you have a preview monitor. This lets you see what you’re putting out to the switcher (if it’s not on the main screens it’s probably because the Production Director (PD) has something else on the screens. If you mouse over this screen a button will appear in the top portion of it. If you click that it’ll toggle between your main output and the stage display (big TV on the wall behind you). If you need to see what’s up there without turning around you can click that button or use keyboard shortcut Command+3.
Library
Library
Just below the preview monitor is the library. This is where all of the individual documents are kept. Lyrics, name slides, announcements, etc. There’s a search bar at the top of it.
Playlists and Folders
Playlists and Folders
Below the library are two more sections side by side. The left one looks like a file folder structure. This is where playlists are kept. Playlists are collections of documents that are used for a particular service. For example, there’s a Sunday morning folder where all of the playlists for weekend services are kept. If you select one of those playlists, a list of documents will appear to the right of it. Those are the documents for that weekend.
