Many
churches us something like PowerPoint to run announcements on their
main projector or have a special Computer set aside
for the Foyer monitors. The problem with this, is that you can't make any
changes to the announcements when they are running. You also have to spend a lot
of time editing the PowerPoint loop since things always change.
With ChurchView, you can use a graphic or video loop
as the background to the announcement you have. It
is also easy to edit a slide or add a new announcement while they are showing on
your main projector or Foyer monitors.
Each announcement has a start and end date, so you
can populate a years worth of announcements from your main calendar, and they
will only show during the dates you select. You can also use a short video
instead of a static page, and flag them to show on the Foyer, Main Projector, or
both.
Even
though you can also use a PowerPoint presentation as a slide, the easy way is to
use the Media Tab to convert a
PowerPoint slide set to a set of Graphic files, and auto-add them to the
announcement section.
There is enough flexibility to the announcements that you can show them any way
you want. Quickly and easily. And you can show one slide at a time when someone
is talking about the event.
