I prefer to prepare services on my desktop computer (1920x1080). I find it much easier to work on a larger screen with a mouse and have my graphics programs there that allow me to create images and theme files I want to display.
I then transfer my files to my laptop (1600x900) take it to church and project to 16:9 TV screens (Not sure of their resolution but that doesn't seem to matter!).
Often, once at church, I need to change things a little. That can be because our worship leader has decided to tweak the service a little but more often because I find a single Bible word or the last line of a chorus slips onto a second slide or because text now overlaps an image on the background theme. That is in spite of the fact that I rigorously transfer all theme files to the laptop as I had thought ensuring the service and theme files had been generated on the same machine all would be well.
So my question is how should I arrange my work flow so I avoid these varying dimension issues.
Two things I have discovered while working on this issue.
While editing a theme on the laptop the default dimensions are retained from the 1920x1080 machine. These dimensions are, presumably, found within the service file? However, if I try to create a new theme to replace one that now displays inappropriately, the dialogue shows dimensions appropriate to a 1600x900 screen.I can set my 1920:1080 machine to override its display position at 1600x900 and display if a single screen (but that didn't replicate what I saw when I got to church with my laptop)
I fear that the only answer is to prepare any graphics on my desktop but do all service preparation work on the laptop. Does anyone know different?
