Use this every week to prepare the SUNDAY SERVICES playlist in ProPresenter on the production Mac ("GFX 1").
• This week's song list, and which singer or arrangement leads each song
• This week's speaker name and title
• This week's graphics folder on the shared drive:
Hope-Church-UNAS-Pro › HCC_Common › Slides › Sunday_M.D.YY
(named for the service date, for example Sunday_11.8.26)
• ProPresenter open on the Mac - GFX 1
In the left sidebar, select SUNDAY SERVICES under Playlist.
The playlist sections match the table above.
Click the first song, then ⌘-click the other songs. Delete the selection (right-click, then Delete).
Do not select Baptism or Welcome.
The Worship section holds only Baptism and Welcome.
Click the Search button (magnifier, top left of the toolbar) or ⌘ + SPACE. Type part of the title. When the song appears under Songs, press ⌘↵ (Add to Playlist). Plain ↵ only opens the song. Repeat for every song, in set order.
The song appears in the Worship section of the playlist.
New songs landed beside the item that was selected in the recording. Drag items in the sidebar until the order is right.
The Worship order matches the service order.
Click the song. The Groups row (Verse, Chorus, Bridge) sits above the slides, and the dropdown below it picks the arrangement. If the song has a version for this week's singer, select it (in the recording: Known By You – [ Mandy ]).
The arrangement dropdown shows Master, or the singer's version if one exists.
Use the view icons at the top right of the song pane to open the timeline. In the recording, Known By You showed cues with Timecode checked. Oceans and Unstoppable God showed an empty timeline.
Songs with cues show them across the timeline.
