ShowScreens

I'm not really sure what to call these things, so "ShowScreens" is it for now, 'till i come up with something better. They're also called "Comp Templates" in other places on the site.

So the deal is, in the Video menu, there's a list of screens you can show. Also, using Producer, you can create your own screens or modify the existing ones. The main ShowScreens you will want to be familiar with are the Message and Rotation screens, as these are the actual templates used by kJams to display Screen Messages and the Rotation between each song. You also may find yourself using the iJams, Tip Your Waitress, and Next Singer screens quite a bit during shows. Note that each ShowScreen included is just a starting point for what you could envision for multimedia display between (or during) songs. Some are just sample pieces that you will use to build customized ShowScreens. If you find you want to hide some of these options that you won't be using during your show, you can find the actual files in your user Library/Preferences/kJams/Producer Templates, and prefix a tilde (~) to any ShowScreen you want hidden. (~Big Text.xml) For more information on using ShowScreens for messaging during live shows, visit our section on Messaging.

Go to the Producer/Tutorials page, then watch the videos called:

1. Composing Text and Pictures, and Fading to Black
2. Creating and Editing Comp Templates
3. Intro and Outro, and Rotation Templates

In addition to the song meta templates (described in the Xattr page), you can also use [venu] to substitute the current venue name.
