Mevo Multicam: Presentations and Slideshows

November 04, 2024 16:00

The Presentations and Slideshows feature in Mevo Multicam is a free tool that allows you to import PDF files to use as slideshows during your production. These can be displayed as overlays in full-screen mode or picture-in-picture, making it easy to share slides with your audience seamlessly.

Step 1: Add an Asset

To start, open the Mevo Multicam app and press the blue ( + ) button to add an asset.

Step 4: Manage Your Presentation

After selecting the PDF file, you will see the following options to manage your presentation:

(1) Rearrange slides – Drag and drop to reorder slides as needed.
(2) Delete individual slides – Remove any unwanted slides from the presentation.
(3) Change Display Modes - Toggle between Full screen and overlay settings

Step 5: Change Display Modes

You can adjust how your presentation appears on-screen by selecting between Full Screen and Overlay modes.

Full Screen – Displays the presentation over the entire screen.
Overlay – Displays the presentation as a picture-in-picture overlay. In this mode, you can adjust the placement, size, stroke color, stroke size, and corner radius of the overlay.

Step 6: Control Your Presentation

Once your presentation is set up, you can step forward or backward through the slides using the navigation controls. This allows you to progress through your slideshow at your own pace.

Step 7: Activate the Presentation in Production

To display the presentation to your viewers, simply tap on the presentation asset to activate it, just like any other camera or graphic in Mevo Multicam. This will send it to the program output, making it visible in your live production.

Step 8: Deactivate the Presentation

When you’re ready to remove the presentation from the screen, simply tap the asset again to deactivate it.

Troubleshooting Steps

I exported my Slideshow, but it can't be selected?

Ensure that you export your slideshow as a PDF file rather than a typical slideshow format. Only PDFs are supported for import in the Presentations feature.

Animations and transitions in my slideshow do not work?

When exported as a PDF, animations, and transitions are removed as PDFs don’t support these features. For presentations with animations or transitions, consider exporting your slideshow as an MP4 and using it in Media Playback instead.
