Start a clip at a specific time

[JeffReckart]

Howdy,

In EasyWorship 2009, is there a way to start a video clip at a specific time?
I have a video i want to show, but don't want the first 5 mins. Is there a way to schedule the clip to play starting at the 5:00 min mark? Thanks

You can find your answer here. As far as the DVD editor, nothing has really changed in the 2007 to 2009 versions. Directions are the same.

That document is 257 pages long? Can you be more specific where? Also this isn't a DVD, it is a video clip.

I never play DVD's right from the dvd. i always copy the .vob files to my hard drive, and que them up from there. I just don't trust the DVD drive not to stutter/skip.I also delete the files after they are used, to prevent clutter, and copyright trouble. I know that there are copyright issuses here, but I
will go with "intent of the law", instead of "letter of the law".

sorry i got sidetracked there. Is there any way to schedule a video clip to start at a specific time?

I misread sleepy time...

I had the intention of pointing out pages 121-127 and that is the section about DVD's... For a video clip EW can't start at a certain time on a media clip. You can use Windows Media Player and we have been doing the whole "drag-the-WMP-over-to-the-right-onto-the-extended-desktop-so-it-shows-up-on-the-main-projector" trick and then minimizing it until it is needed. You might try that and see if that does the job for you.

Actually you can. What i found is load the clip into your schedule, and click on it one to bring it up in the preview window. in the preview window, press the play then pause but to get it to start playing, therefore giving you a counter in the lower part of the video, indicating where in the clip you have paused it. grab the slider and scroll to the time you want to start at, and let go. it will be paused at this point. Simply press go live at the appropriate time in the service and it will go live playing from the point that you paused it at.

Hope that made sense, and i am still hoping for a proper schedule at xxx time!!!

I have done that with 50% reliability. The other has bit me. If that works then kudos! Main reason I think it didn't was because we jumped around in the schedule and did not have time to reset the time.

This morning I tried bringing a dvd clip into Easy Worship 2009 and the video came in fine but no audio. I have done it before but since the dvd editor is not totally reliable I tend to use either Windows media player or the classic media player which allows for more options also. Although I prefer to use Easy Worship as it keeps things neat and tidy and easier to follow. Waiting for the new release as I'm sure it will knock our socks off and be worth the wait
