Limiting video display area...

in General Support
Temporary accommodation for the next couple of years, so we've been building out tech this week.  Unfortunately we haven't quite got eh right hardware for mounting the projector at the correct angle, so for this weekend I need to push content down the screen.

That's fine for words, I know how to do that...

Is it possible/easy for video content?
PPT?

    Possibly it's the very top of the general options menu:

    Video should match songs, but presentations are another matter. OpenLP just uses your presentation software to show the presentation, so it's pretty much up to the presentation software as to how it displays your presentations.

    There are two options I came across (and actually didn't use either because a good poke on the projector made it work well enough.)

    The words can be moved around using the theme definitions.
    The screen can be limited by the menu I pointed at earlier.

    Screen limits affect the video and words, PPT does it's own thing...

    One thing that I'd like to suggest as a useful setup feature.. is the ability to have the theme 'adjust the borders' actually sent to the projector, so that you can see what you're doing rather than guessing all the time.
    Having the screen limits similarly sent to the relevant output would also be good.

    Sorry, I'm not understanding what you're saying, could you try to explain it more please?
