It’s just like using out of frame information on TV. That way the information exists to drive the confidence monitors, and you have text generated for the alternate slide layout so the Propresenter person has something they can read, but it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the slide.

The solution is to type the words that match the PNG on every slide and then move the text out of the frame. Here is the twist, because they are PNG files there is no text in the slide to generate confidence monitor and they were also a little tough for my presentation person to read.

The great thing about that is because we key on blue, we were able to drop these PNGs right on blank slides and they worked like a champ. Now one of our video editors made all the lyrics for the song as transparent PNG files. However during the service we put them on the stage screen rather then the IMAG screen. If you look at that attached video, the lower third lyrics were not actually put there live, one of our editors put them on the IMAG feed and added the black and white effect in post. So it has been a while since I did a training post, but we used a technique this past week that I think is worth sharing.
