This is AMAZING! In years past, if you wanted to do alpha with Pro7, you needed special hardware from BlackMagic Design. Starting at $495 this was an expense that a lot of churches couldn't justify. Well, Propresenter 7.14 has just added a feature that allows you to do alpha with any two external display outputs, so if your computer has two extra (or you were doing luma or chroma and have an additional out), you can now do alpha, EVEN OVER HDMI! This, along with the other features I show you today is a game changer!
NOTE: See if you can tell the difference between straight and premultiplied keys. I slowed it down and didn't quite see it myself.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech, No Babel: 5 ways to make your videos stand out.
As equipment gets cheaper and cheaper, the ability to make quality videos will rest not in your budget, but your abilities. Here are 5 ways to make the most of your videos.
1. Great sound. The most important thing in any video is good sound. Never use a built-in mic. A pristinely lit, 4k video that sounds like it was shot in a bank vault or in a noisy crowd, but wasn't, is a bad video.
2. Genre. Every type of video has a structure, a skeleton, if you will. Understand the basic structure of similar videos and build from there; not use a wildly different structure.
3. Learn from the best; not the best in the Church. Look for people who are the best in the world and learn from them.
4. Use the right transition. The art in video is in the story, the content, the flow, not what transition. You should almost always use a cut, sometimes a cross-dissolve, rarely anything else.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech Help for Churches, Twitter: Finding the right followers
[tweet "Only you can answer if your followers need to be local, but they need to be targeted and interested for sure."]
When you're looking for new followers for your twitter account, first ask if they need to be local. If you're a local church, the answer is probably yes.
They do need to be targeted. It's not that you're excluding people, but more that you need to aim for a certain group and then welcome anyone who wants to come as well. In contrast, if you try and please everyone, you'll please none, so at least try an narrow it down.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech Website Backgrounds
The biggest mistake new web designers (or do-it-yourselfers) make is using a photo as a background to their website and thinking that because it fits on their computer that it will look just as good on all devices. More often than not, the result looks more like the background to a Windows 95 computer with a holiday snapshot than a professionally designed site.
Instead, here are some better ideas:
1. Use a tiled background, that's meant to be tiled. I'm not talking about tiling a photo, but taking a texture that's meant to repeat horizontally and vertically. This could be a subtle texture or a bathroom tile motif, but make sure that it matches what you're going for.

When you're using the audio bin in Pro5 & Pro6, there are two media types that you'll see. One is the audio track and the other is the audio effect. They both play audio, so what's the difference?

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech, No Babel: Which lighting technology to use
There are a lot of options when lighting video. Should you use consumer or professional equipment? When you chose that, what type of lighting instrument should you use? There's the sun of course, but it's hard to control. Then there are incandescent, tungsten, quartz, halogen, fluorescent, and LED fixtures. Which is right for you? Watch and find out:

Culture Breaking Events: How to deal with them
The best way is to avoid them at all costs. Events that break a culture are disastrous. Sometimes business and ministries never recover from the lost of their basic culture.
Should one happen that you can't prevent, acknowledge it early. Speak about it clearly and take steps to minimize the damage.
Realize that restoring the culture could take years and might never fully happen. Be patient.
