VGC Media in Proclaim
8 days ago

Hi everyone How can we best create bilingual lyrics in Proclaim? I’d like to have two text boxes on each slide: - Top: Vietnamese lyrics - Bottom: English lyrics When I select Vietnamese, I paste and format all the Vietnamese lyrics across multiple slides. When I select English, I paste and format all the English lyrics separately. Is there a good workflow or tip for managing both language sets in one song? Thanks in advance!

    In the text window, select the words you want to look different. Then apply bold or highlight colour.

    VGC Media - But how does that work with lower thirds for video feed? We typically only want 3-4 lines so it’s only at the bottom for those at home. 8 lines wouldn’t work for us. I just tried two ways of dual languages. One is English first line, Spanish second line in parentheses. This was confusing to look at. The other was side by side, which look better. I wish Proclaim made music and scripture easier to put two languages in! Scripture takes me forever making the second language look good! Trying to make the 2nd language font the same size as the 1st, and then line up the top line of words so it looks uniform from one language to the next takes me a good hour or more.
