- Verify that all media and songs are present, with no yellow exclamation points or “file does not exist” messages on any of the media.
- Compare the slideshow with the order of worship that was emailed out

Soundcheck (9:00)
- Start the presentation and standby for sound check (9:00)
- Stop the music playlist in iTunes (if running)
- Make any corrections identified during soundcheck.
- After soundcheck, start the music playlist again.
If there is a problem with the slides that you cannot fix yourself, contact Cameron, Mayra, or Megan. Additional training can also be provided that will teach you how to create and fix ProPresenter playlists.
During Worship Service
- During the countdown timer (immediately before worship starts), stop the music playlist and close iTunes.
- Pay attention and listen for cues.
- Look ahead at upcoming slides to anticipate what will be needed next
- Sometimes slides are out-of-order, especially announcements
- It’s our job to get the right slide on screen!
- Be proactive during prayers and communication when non-staff are on stage
- They may not have the verse memorized, etc.
- There’s no harm in a slide going up slightly early, if unsure.
After Worship Service Shutdown ProPresenter, the computer, the TVs, and all 3 projectors. Clean up your workspace.
