V. Opening and Editing Your Presentation
Once the software is properly configured, open the project RUSHWORKS has created for your system. Go to File
then Open Presentation. Now browse to your “A-ZONE Projects” folder and open the “ZONE” presentation inside.
The screen layout is divided into zones, each of which displays different content. We have included two
presentations, one named “FULL” and the other “ZONE”. “FULL” will simply play a list of files full screen. Once the
“ZONE” version is open it should look similar to this:
On the Edit tab you will see Layout and Playlist. Click on Playlist and then select the Video zone (it might already
be selected). To the right you will see the order of the files that will play in your Video Zone.
On the left - below the Zone display - you will see the Media Library
and a Browse button. This will be used to browse to the location
where your slides and videos are stored.
Once you browse to the desired folder you can drag files over to
the right to complete the Playlist for that Zone. These can be
rearranged at any time so the order you drag them in is not
important. If you add a file to the folder while in this view you can
hit the Refresh button to the right of the Browse button.
Note: Only supported file types will be shown in this window. If your file does not
appear, it is likely that there is an issue with the format of the file. See Appendix B
for details on what file types are supported.
The two other tabs, other and events, contain commands that allow further customization
of your Playlists. The most commonly used item is found on the other tab. The Live Video
item can be dragged to the Playlist just like a file. The duration of the item can be set by
double clicking the item in the Playlist. You can also adjust the volume and specify duration.
All Playlist items can be customized by double clicking them in the list and changing the
options. The list can also be rearranged by dragging the items from one place to another.
