How do I present my show?

Once your show has been downloaded into StagePlayer there will be a green "Present" button (or a green "Preview" button if working in StagePlayer before your rental period has started). When you click the present button you will have two windows: 1) your operator controls window; and 2) your output window. Connect your projector to your computer using the correct connection hardware. Once connected, configuring your projector to extend your computer's display and drag the output window into your projector's viewable area. In the operator controls window click "Fullscreen". This will remove the StagePlayer banner from the top of the output window and block out your computer's tool bar and any other pop-ups.

To navigate through your show you will primarily use three buttons:

Next - when you want to transition to the next video after the video currently playing has played through the end
Jump to Next - when you immediately want to play the next video without having the current video play through the end
Blackout - if you want to transition to blackout

Other features to be aware of:

You can preview thumbnails of the upcoming videos by clicking on them in the cue sheet oriented below the current video pane in the bottom quadrant of your operator controls window.
If you'd like to skip over videos or quickly transition to a video that doesn't take place next in the sequence, click the video description below in the cue sheet. A dialogue box will open and give you the option to "Cue Next" or "Jump To". Like above, "Jump To" will immediately play the video; "Cue Next" will put the video into the "Next" video button and await "Next" button to be pressed on the operator controls window.
If you'd like to upload your own curtain warmer or use the one pre-built into your show, you can transition to this scene at any time using the "Curtain Warmer" button at the top of the operator controls window.
To end your show, click the "End Show" button in the top menu. You will need to confirm that you want to exit the show a second time before StagePlayer will let you leave the operator controls window and exit back to the Library Screen.
