The River - How to Run Slides

Introduction:

This is the slides computer setup. We use a software called ProPresenter to display all our graphics and worship lyrics.

Clicking any slide in the middle of the screen will display it on the projector. You can scroll up and down through different presentations for Preshow, Announcements, and Worship.

The headers on the left side of the screen can be used to quickly navigate to presentations in our River playlist instead of scrolling through the middle of the screen.

  5. A good rule-of-thumb for when to go to the next slide is to advance when the singer says the second-to-last syllable in the current lyric that is displayed!
 

How to Adjust the Display Size on the Computer:

If you would like to increase or decrease the display size for how the slides appear in the middle of the screen, you can do so by dragging this slider in the bottom right of the screen.
