video alternate content

Allow one video to play on main screen while another plays on the alternate screen (NDI).
This would allow us to play a normal countdown in house while playing another video for online viewers. Both videos would be the same length...Understand it gets tricky when videos are not same length.

    Here's how I can see this working... In the same way that you can apply a lower thirds background to a virtual screen (https://support.faithlife.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047270851-Alternate-Content-Virtual-Screens) apply a different background to the virtual screen for this alternate video (or static) screen. In this case though, the virtual screen used here can allow for a completely different background without having the foreground or background from the original slide.

    @racowles-61 Only options I seem to have when I add a video are duplicate and blank. I want to be able to show one video on the main screen and a different one on the alternate screen.

    @kgeiwitz-96 It works the same for me as you mentioned... My comments were related to if Faithlife would pursue this feature request, my example is one way how I could see this working.

    I actually think this would be more powerful if Faithlife would just give us a second playlist in each presentation. Then we could queue up videos on one playlist that would play out to a separate Virtual Screen. Then we could do standard songs and slides on the second playlist. It would be awesome if you could then create cues to launch an item in the other playlist. With NDI outputs for each virtual screen, this would be a killer feature.
  • We tired this, but the we have to mute the NDI audio otherwise the audio bends in house
