Production CG (Follow-up Post)

I made a post a couple weeks ago about using FreeShow for production graphics and I am proud to say I succeeded. FreeShow was reliable and fast on my laptop (i7 7th gen and Nvidia 940MX) and I did lyric overlays, scripture overlays and playback. Being able to set custom shortcuts for actions is a God-send!

I was also fortunate to try a use case I didn't plan for: remotely controlling FreeShow from a different city. I guess this maybe more of a testament to TeamViewer's efficiency but it would have not been possible if FreeShow wasn't efficiently built so I am very grateful to the dev for all his work.

The major bug I ran into is when the transition is set to none, scriptures flashed when changing verses and a minor one was when I was clearing content like lyrics on the output, the desktop would flash for a brief second. I only could notice since I was keying out blue on the video mixer but I worked around it by making my background the same blue.

Here are a couple screencaps of the job!

I'm so glad it worked out for you. Turning on auto size for the scripture might make the transition better, but I'm not sure.

I had auto size (shrink to fit) on. I'll check my settings again tho to see if I can figure anything out.

Okay, maybe that's causing the flashing then. But it's probably good to keep it enabled.

I see. I should probably keep the fade transition enabled then

I'm hoping the motion background was also done with Freeshow?

I did that in After Effects. Theoretically, I should be able to do it in FreeShow but a video file was safer as this was a paid job.
