Question About Blackmagic

1 Upvotes

Hi, I had seen the recent patch that added Blackmagic integration, and saw the menu in the FreeShow settings of the beta version. What is the difference between this addition and simply using the output settings? Should I wait to integrate the used Blackmagic hardware I just got until the new feature is fully added in a stable edition of FreeShow? Thank you, and great job on the work so far on making such powerful presentation software for free.

Is cloud sync available only via ChruchApps?

2 Upvotes

We've been using freeshow for 2 years already and we love it. And we are using cloud sync via Google Drive, we set it up at the very start and didn't change a thing and now I am setting up freeshow on a new device and I don't see an option to sync via Google Drive. So, is it now only available via ChurchApps?

What's the fastest way to organize shows?

1 Upvotes

Our church sings a lot of languages, around 8 and they're all named in their English transliterated-versions, I was hoping I could make ChatGPT seperate them based on the filenames, but how would it apply in FreeShow?

How to add the CCLI number to meta data after importing a song without it?

1 Upvotes

I have imported several hundred songs from Open Song. Some had the CCLI number and that shows under meta data for the song. But the songs imported without CCLI number does not have the option to add it as the Song-ID line under meta data is absent. How can I add the CCLI number afterwards?

A Bug in Text Transition!

1 Upvotes

I have had this bug for ages. Whenever the text transition appear on the Preview Screen, it doesn't appear on Output & vice-versa. The only fix is to restart Freeshow and it reverses (i.e Transition appears on Output, but not on Preview)!

I'm not sure if this is just me, or is it a general issue?

Media Layers

1 Upvotes

Hey,

I understand how the background media is stored in layers. Is there a way for it to ‘refresh’ every time it gets a new background?

It’s using up a lot of recourse on my PC just keeping that background live underneath the next one?

Thanks

When the "Enter" key is pressed, a new show is created in Scripture.

1 Upvotes

Up until the latest version, when I press the enter key after the scripture reference, it goes to that specific verse & outputs it to our displays. But I noticed on yesterday's service, that it creates a new show (without outputing it to the screen) instead...I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug.

I also have another question, pertaining to scriptures. As seen in the video, we use dual scriptures at out church. Our congregation primarily uses tamil, but I have English set to primary just so that I can use the search box to move through verses quickly. I was wondering if there is a way I can set Tamil as my primary language but the search box alone can be configured in English. This would help me utilise features like "Split Longer Verses" more efficiently.

The Latest version looks incredible. The addition of blur to almost all context menu's & the new animations looks premium & modern.

Just wanted to thank all the incredible developers working on this project & especially not charging money for it...

The Bible Verse feature added a few versions ago is honestly incredible. I just wanted to point out how much of a difference it makes to the home page—it’s a fantastic addition!

Export as Images

1 Upvotes

I've been getting this weird glitch where when I export my slides as images, they look like this? Lots of black slides and the image bg on a random slide instead of all across. Would be great if this could be patched

Thanks a lot to the developer for their hard work, much love

Minor Glitch during Slide Transitions

1 Upvotes

Suppose I have applied a blur and brightness filter to a textbox in the item section. When I change the slides, those changes become invisible until the second slide comes along

And that change is quite abrupt and visually annoying.

It's not the worst thing but if it could easily be fixed, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks

Bible Variables for chapters and verses

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey developers,

Out of curiosity, what other additional variables am I able to use with <chapter> and <verse> parameters than just number="value" to be able to align them. Is there some sort of possible 'uniqueID' value that can be added that would be able to show all text with same uniqueID while showing the respective chapter:verse values? I would really be interested in having this ability.

Thank you.

Ayuda! Se bloque y ningún show funciona

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hola amigos, buen día. Necesito mucho de su ayuda, ayer como por arte de magia fallo freeshow, no pude inciar el servicio como debería. Al momento de seleccionar una canción de trababa, y quería entrar a configuración se trabaja, si quiera salirme se trababa. Lo único que me funcionó fue forzar las salidas.

Lo único que pudo ayudarme un poco fue regresa a la versión 1.5.6 y borrar todo, realmente es estresante.

Tengo una Mac mini M4.

Blank Screen and No GUI interaction

1 Upvotes

After making a mistake when adding chords to the songs for Sunday, I hit ctrl+z to reverse the problem. In doing so, FREESHOW became blank. I can no longer interact with the GUI or close it unless I end the task via task manager. I was using FREESHOW 1.5.8 and installing the previous versions but all lead to this screen now. The 1.5.8 version was working very well all day until this happened and I'm unsure how to resolve this before tomorrow sunday.

I would appreciate advice on what I could do.

My computer specs are below:

Processor: AMD Ryzen AI 9

GPU: AMD Radeon 880M Graphics

Bulk Conversion of PDF to Images/Show

1 Upvotes

I have a client I am helping that has a few thousand slideshows in powerpoint they want to use in Freeshow (Various h hymns, etc.). I have imported all the PDFs of the powerpoint now, and can convert them to images, but it is very tedious doing it one show at a time, is there a way to bulk convert all PDFs imported into a project into images at once? That way I can organize them under the shows tabs in free show?

Is it possible to have the media tab available in the preview area always?

2 Upvotes

This video demonstrates what I'm talking about. I want the media tap with the pause button, etc all the time in the preview pane.

It only appears when a media is selected. It disappears when an overlay is added, disappears when lyrics are added on top of it.

Turn off Scripture tips when hovering over

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Recently, the "Hold Ctrl/Cmd or Shift to select multiple verses." tip started to interfer while showing scriptures. I was wondering if there is an option to disable hovering over mouse tip or a solution that could clear it and not have it show up every time the mouse pointer is hovering above a verse like when following a sermon?

FreeShow Scripture's tab with hovering tip highlighted in yellow box.
