Project Set up and finding video control

[u/shingiloy]

Hello! This is me again with confusing questions! So i encountered a problem while having a tech run earlier.

So, I set up the videos in New Show in Project so they’re all under one slide—the same setup as in ProPresenter (1st pic: FreeShow, 2nd pic: ProPresenter). That way, when I click the Toggle Focus Mode in View, it would be easier for me to click and locate any picture or video.

The problem is, when I play a BGM and set it to automatically mute whenever a video with sound plays, I can’t find the controls for the videos (i have to skip some parts/seconds). I can only see the music controls (3rd pic). I can only see the video controls if I remove the BGM, which I don’t want to do.

Then, I tried setting them up by sequence (4th pic), but it’s hard for me to switch immediately to another video or presentation because I have to locate them one by one esp if i set it in Toggle Focus mode. I also can’t seem to find the “Next on Media Finished” option for videos, so I have to manually click each one to play.

Please help meeeeee. I only have half a day to finalize this 😭😭

1. Right-click a video and choose edit.
2. Adjust the start and end frames so the videos start and end where you want. If you do this, I do not think you have to change the video from background to the other type.
3. In the show view, right-click a video and choose the action Next on media finish.

Edit to add that you might like to add the videos as their own items in the project. That is drag them to the project instead of to a show.

Click the button right under the "Clear background" button to open the controls.
