The running order - Slipity Pro

Libraries and playlists

A library keeps presentations: every song you know, every sermon you’ve given. Make as many as you like, and folders to keep them in.
A playlist is a service: presentations in the order they’ll happen. A presentation can be in many playlists and is still one presentation — fix a typo once and it’s fixed in every service.

Choose a playlist in the sidebar and the slides show every presentation in it, one after another. Give a presentation in a playlist a colour from its right-click menu to find it at a glance.

Moving through a service


Click a slide	Puts it up (in Play).
→ ←	Next and previous slide, on into the next presentation at the end of one.
↑ ↓	Next and previous presentation in the playlist.
A hot key	A single character that brings one slide up from anywhere.
Search	Find a song or passage and put it up without leaving the service. See Search.

Slides that are disabled are passed over. A slide with Go to Next Timer moves on by itself.

Picking several slides

Shift-click picks a run, Command-click adds or removes one, and dragging across empty space picks everything the band touches. On iPad and iPhone, hold one slide and tap others. Picked slides are outlined in blue, and nothing goes up while you pick.

Right-click a slide

On iPad and iPhone, touch and hold. The menu acts on the slide you clicked, or on every picked slide when that slide is one of them. While the menu is open, the slides it’s about are outlined.


Add Slide	A new slide in the presentation’s theme, after this one.
Quick Edit	The words become editable where they are, for the typo spotted in rehearsal. Done keeps the change; Escape leaves it.
Edit Slide	Open the slide in the editor.
Inspector…	Look closely at the pictures, films and sounds on a slide.
Behavior	For a Media item: Foreground or Background. See Media.
Enable / Disable	Take a slide out of the running order for one service without deleting it.
Hot Key…	One key that brings this slide up. Two slides can’t share one.
Go to Next Timer…	Seconds before moving on by itself, and Loop to Beginning to go round again at the end. On a film that doesn’t loop, the seconds count from the end of the film.
Add Media…	A picture or film behind this slide, or a Media item or YouTube video after it.
Add Action	What happens when the slide goes live. See Slide actions.
Edit Actions, Remove Actions	Change or take off what a slide already does.
Clear	Take layers off the screens when the slide goes live.
Group, Label	Name a run of slides — Verse 1, Chorus — or one slide. See Songs.
Themes › New Theme from Selection…	Make a theme from how this slide looks.
Copy Text Style, Paste Text Style	Give other slides this slide’s text formatting.
Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete	Slides move with everything on them: their group, label, actions, media and timeline.

Screenshot to come — To capture: A right-click menu open over three picked slides, with Group expanded.

With several slides picked, Group puts every one of them in the group, and the slides around them keep theirs. Pick a whole song and choose Group › None to take every group off.
