Working with DVDs

DVD clips are stored in the Media bin under the DVD tab. To create a DVD clip, first insert a DVD disk into your computers DVD drive. Once the disk is mounted, ProPresenter will have full access to playback DVD video. Select the "Add DVD Clip" button.

The DVD Control window will open giving you access to the DVD. Navigate your DVD Menu by either clicking on on the DVD screen from ProPresenters DVD Control window, or using the Navigation control buttons.

Select in and out points from the Cue panel located next to DVD controls using the "Set" buttons. Once you have selected the IN and OUT points, click on the "Save" button. A panel will open allowing you to give your clip a Bookmark Name and DVD Title Name.

Your new DVD clip is now saved an located in the DVD bin. You can toggle between the DVD Control window and Full screen Mode using the Window control buttons next to the User Navigation buttons.

Note: The Set Cue buttons will ONLY appear in the DVD Control Window. During playback of a DVD clip, the DVD controls will appear in the Presentation view allowing control of the DVD clip, but NOT allow for the saving of clips.

The playback of a clip is triggered by clicking on the Play button from the DVD bin table. ProPresenter will automatically ouput the display to your output screen. Full screen playback requires a secondary display connected. If you do not have a secondary display (Projector, monitor, etc.) the DVD will playback in ProPresenters DVD Control Window.

Similar to the process of assigning a background loop to a slide, you can hold down the Command (Apple) key and drag a DVD Clip to the Presentation window. ProPresenter will create a NEW clip with the reference to the DVD clip. You can then click on that slide to trigger the playback of the DVD clip. When a DVD clip is playing, the Preview window of ProPresenter will display a DVD icon, indicating a DVD is in the process of playing.
