ProPresenter 7 tutorial: Why I NEVER put videos directly in the playlist

It's already in the media layer, so you just drag and drop it onto the playlist where you want to play it.
While ProPresenter CAN do that, I NEVER do it that way. Why?

On today's Tech, No Babel: Live-streaming: Why your church shouldn't do it
[tweet "Why would a guy who writes about live-streaming for churches say your church shouldn't do it?"]
Attendance: Blaming the live-stream
Not making it a priority: Not being willing to pay the cost to keep things up to speed
Buying too much gear: Buying stuff you won't use immediately
Thinking it will solve all your problems: A live stream won't necessarily fix your attendance, raise your budget, etc. Don't expect that it will.

Here are the latest church technology questions:
Rocky Buckley on Platform University
I’m seriously thinking doing a series of 1-3 minute long Q&A type videos for YouTube.
I want these to be very easy to make, preferably 1 take - but still look good. The lighting should be good, the sound the same.

There are a few Macs that come with the ability to have three displays (either three external displays or as with some models of the iMac or some models of the MacBook Pro, the internal display and two externals).

If you don't understand this, ProPresenter will always be a mystery to you. You'll get odd results, and will wonder why people like it so much: layers.
ProPresenter isn't like PowerPoint, or Keynote, or google slides. It works on a series of layers. You can change each one without affecting the others, except that opaque portions of layers above, hide layers below.
To illustrate this point, I went back to the 70s and 80s to use ancient technology that should make it clearer (no pun intended). ?.

ProPresenter is built on the metaphor of layers (http://trinitydigitalmedia.com/2015/07/propresenter-6-tutorials-layers-churchtechcast-com-screencast-show/). Most churches use the slides layer and the background layer. Pro6 can do more, though.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/thfc On today's Tech Help for Churches, Podcasting: Using BossJock Studio as a field recorder
I've been working with my church's children's ministry recently and I needed to do a shoot at a vineyard with the least gear I could get by with. That's when I decided to try using BossJock Studio on my iPad instead of a field recorder.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/ctcscreencasts Can you add multiple events to the scheduler?
One of the most requested features in propresenter is the scheduler. When ProPresenter 6 was announced, I was trying to figure out a way to do something like it until they added. Thankfully, the announcement gave me the freedom to pursue other things.
[tweet "Can you add multiple events to the scheduler? Yes. Will they fire? Watch this to find out."]
