Creating a service
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have OpenLP set up the way you want, it is time to put it to use.
|
||||
|
||||
Everything you need to display will be in the left panel called *Media Manager*
|
||||
under their respective categories. Using the media manager you will load new
|
||||
Media, Songs, Images, Bibles, or create a Custom slide as discussed earlier under
|
||||
`Adding Media Content <http://manual.openlp.org/mediamanager.html#adding-media-content>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
On the right side of your screen at the top is Service Manager. Anything you
|
||||
want to display should be in the Service Manager and preferably in the order you
|
||||
want to display it. To add your media you can click on the item, hold and drag
|
||||
your selection from the Media Manager over to the Service Manager or, after
|
||||
clicking the media or verse you want to use, click the + sign above. This will
|
||||
add your media to the service side at the bottom. Once it is in the Service
|
||||
Manager you can click on your item and drag and drop it in the order you want or,
|
||||
click the item and use the arrows below to move it up or down in the order you
|
||||
want.
|
||||
|
||||
Displaying an Item
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
When you have all of your items needed for the service in your Service Manager
|
||||
there are a few ways to get them to display on the screen. You can double-click
|
||||
the item, click it once with the mouse and push the Enter key on your keyboard
|
||||
or, click it once with the mouse and click on the projector at the bottom of the
|
||||
Service Manager. Any of these methods will display your item on the screen. When
|
||||
your item is displayed, it will appear in the Live windows just to the left of
|
||||
the Service Manager.
|
||||
|
||||
Moving through a Service
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have your first item displayed live you can move through the service in
|
||||
a couple of ways. You can double-click on each item you need displayed or, click
|
||||
it once and press enter. If your songs, verses, etc. are in the order you will
|
||||
be displaying them, you can use the Right Arrow key on your keyboard to move
|
||||
down through your service. Pressing the Left Arrow key will move up through the
|
||||
service. Every time you press the Left or Right Arrow key the next item will be
|
||||
displayed.
|
||||
|
||||
Moving through a Song or Bible verses
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
When you display a song or Bible verse with multiple verses you will need to
|
||||
move through them. When a song or verse is being displayed you will see the
|
||||
lyrics at the top in the Live window and how it actually appears on your display
|
||||
in the bottom Live window. To change slides you can use your mouse to click on
|
||||
each slide in the top Live window, use the left and right arrows under the top
|
||||
Live window or, use the Down Arrow to move down through the song or verses.
|
||||
Using the Up Arrow will move you from bottom to top. Page Up and Page Down will
|
||||
do the same thing.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding a group of Images
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
At some point you may have a group of images to display together. It may be
|
||||
pictures from a youth group adventure, bulletin announcements, or some other
|
||||
reason. Once you add your images to the Media Manager hold the Ctrl key on your
|
||||
keyboard and click each image you want to add as group. As you click the images
|
||||
they will remain highlighted. When you are done with your selections you can
|
||||
either click the + sign above the images or, click on one of the highlighted
|
||||
images, hold the mouse button and drag them over to the Service Manager side and
|
||||
place them where you need them. If you do not like the order the images are in,
|
||||
right click Images and left click Reorder Item. From this box you will be able
|
||||
to rearrange the order of your images by clicking on one and using the up and
|
||||
down arrows to move it to where you want it. If there is an image you do not
|
||||
want in your order, click on it and then click the :guilabel:`Delete` button.
|
||||
When you are done arranging your images click :guilabel:`Save`. If you need to
|
||||
add another image from the Media Manager to your group of images, left click the
|
||||
image you want to add and hold the mouse button and drag it over your group of
|
||||
Images and release the mouse button. You will be given two options,
|
||||
:guilabel:`Add New Item` and :guilabel:`Add to Selected Item`. If you click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Add New Item` your image will be separate from your group of images
|
||||
as another item. If you click :guilabel:`Add to Selected Item` your image will
|
||||
be added to your group of images.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Continuous Loop Timer
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have a group of images you can easily cycle through them by using the
|
||||
Live Controller Bar timer in between the Live panes. Adjust the time delay for
|
||||
the seconds in between each image by adjusting the second timer. Just to the
|
||||
left of the second timer is the button to start the images looping. Click it
|
||||
once to start the continuous loop and once to stop it. You can also use the
|
||||
keyboard shortcut "L" to start and stop the continuous loop. The timer will also
|
||||
cycle through Bible verses or song lyrics.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the "Blank to" Control
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
On the live controller bar in between the live windows are three options to
|
||||
Blank your screen. Clicking on the down arrow next to the blank button will show
|
||||
you your three options.
|
||||
|
||||
`Blank Screen` Choosing this option will blank your projector to black like it
|
||||
was shut off. The shortcut for this option is "." (period on your keyboard
|
||||
without quotations).
|
||||
|
||||
`Blank to Theme` Choosing this option will show your blank theme only without
|
||||
lyrics or verses. If you are blanking a song with an assigned theme it will blank
|
||||
to that theme. If no theme is assigned or you are blanking a presentation or
|
||||
image, it will blank to the global theme. The shortcut for this option is "T"
|
||||
(without quotations).
|
||||
|
||||
`Blank to Desktop` Choosing this option will show your desktop wallpaper or a
|
||||
program that you have open on the extended monitor or projector. You can
|
||||
seemlessly switch between one program and OpenLP by Blank to Desktop. The
|
||||
shortcut for this option is "D" (without quotations).
|
||||
|
||||
Saving your service
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you created your service, tested it and are ready for your worship
|
||||
service, you will want to save your service file. OpenLP will remind you to do
|
||||
this when you close the program or you can click the save button at the top of
|
||||
your service file. Choose the location you want to save your file and click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Ok`.
