FOH Setup Checklist

For more details, see the ProPresenter quick start guide.

During Rehearsal

• Set up the standard playlist elements:
  • [ ] Walk-in slides and announcements
  • [ ] Videos (opener, bumper, announcements)
  • [ ] Songs
  • [ ] Message
• [ ] Make sure the projectors are lined up well and in focus.
• [ ] Check that all the images and videos on Planning Center are in ProPresenter.
• [ ] For each slide, make sure you use the correct look:
  • "Lyrics" for song lyrics
  • "Scripture" for Bible verses
  • "Message" for the sermon notes
  • "No NDI" otherwise, especially for slides like the lyrics backgrounds that are likely to be used immediately after lyrics.
• [ ] Make sure the walk-in slides all have their "Go to Next Timer" set and the other slides do not have a timer.
  • For slides with a QR code, set the "Go to Next Timer" to 8 seconds.
  • Otherwise, set the "Go to Next Timer" to 5 seconds.
• [ ] Look for special events in the plan on Planning Center Online (e.g., baptism, child dedication).
• Look for special requests or notes (e.g., custom lyrics, scripture to be shown before worship):
  • [ ] On Planning Center
  • [ ] By email (tech@riversedge.life)

(Nice to Have)

• [ ] Check that the message notes are up to date (in case some last-minute changes were made).
• [ ] Check that all the songs are correct (in case there was a typo on Planning Center).
• [ ] Check that all slides look good on the projector and on NDI (e.g., the text isn't too small).
• [ ] Remove walk-in slides and MC announcements that are definitely outdated.

After Rehearsal

• [ ] Play each video to make sure the sound is working.
• [ ] Turn off the red light and the stage lights.
• [ ] Play some music from Spotify.
• [ ] Show the walk-in slides.
• [ ] Turn on NDI Video Monitor and select NDI > Desktop-D9Q3BCP > vMix - Output 1.
• [ ] Go to the "Services Live" view on Planning Center.

General Reminders

• Control the lights:
  • Lower MASTER LEVEL to 0 when a video is played and raise it back to 10 afterwards.
  • Lower CROSSFADERS Y to about 5 when the speaker reads scripture and raise it back to 10 afterwards.
• If the speaker goes over time, flash the red light a few times and then leave it on.
