    The Big Picture

    This is a full-screen shot of Worship LIVE! running on a dual-monitor system, with the Projection display showing a song on Monitor 2 (not shown).

    Click on any screen shot below for a full-size view.

    Working with Songs

    Multiple song windows, formatted fonts, spell checking, multiple chording formats, and click-to-play chords make editing, formatting and checking songs easier and faster. But song entry is still as easy as ever - just enter the song the way it should be printed.

    Full support for "Rich text" within each song - with multiple fonts, font styles and colors, paragraph alignment, etc.

    Working with Multimedia

    Diverse video and audio file types, multiple monitor support, MIDI features, and a really useful Projection display help make Worship LIVE! a comprehensive multimedia platform for worship planning and projection.

    Dual monitor support throughout Worship LIVE! means that most windows remember their positions, regardless of which monitor they are on.

    The "click-to-play" MIDI preview of song chords (just click any chord to play it over the PC sound card) can be customized for any MIDI instrument (even an external keyboard), as well as volume and strum speed.

    Image files (*.jpg, *.bmp) can be added to the PlayList (creating a slideshow takes just a few clicks!) and can be captioned individually.

    Video files (*.mpg, *.avi, *.qt, *.mov) can be added to the PlayList; just about any file that Windows Media Player can handle can be projected!

    Working with Projection

    The Projection display puts Worship LIVE! on the leading edge of the church digital projection revolution. When instant projection of any song, Bible verse or announcements is combined with customizable background images and rich text formatting, there's no comparison with other church worship packages.

    Projector Setup

    Comprehensived digital projection support, including:

      Flexibility:

        Projection of songs, Bible verses and announcements
        Instant projection with no special setup or editing - just select and go!
        Verse/chorus support, showing only selected parts of a song or announcement
        Visual Paging features for urgent congregational notices
        Announcements feature displays announcements with selectable auto-advance timing
        Scripture support for displaying sermon-related Bible verses, even on-the-fly
        Add (and even loop) video files to the PlayList
        Add images to the PlayList for fast and easy slideshows

      Professionalism:

        Clean, uncluttered Projection display for highly professional appearance
        Multiple-monitor support - set up one screen with the controls, and another with the projected image
        Projection controls reside on PlayList, allowing Projection display to be changed without using the mouse on the projected image

        Optional "fade-to-black" during blanking
        Miniature preview shows projected display, even when blanked or frozen
        Preview text of selected song aids navigation, even when Projection display is blanked or frozen

      Flair:

        Font can be forced to a selected size/typeface/color for uniformity
        Per-song formatting, including background images and font/line colors
        Background images with brightness/contrast control add pizzazz and visual appeal

    The PlayList window becomes the Projection control window when Projection is selected.
