AT HAND worship visuals disc

If it contained over 300 quality visuals purposely created to focus God's people in worship, the At Hand worship visuals disc would be impressive. Well that is what it contains! - but it's what this disc does that makes it extremely impressive:
This disc makes it easy for churches to use quality visuals in every act of worship and this guided tour explains how...

Welcome to the Guided Tour

The At Hand worship visuals disc helps and inspires you to make the right choices of visuals and to use your chosen visuals well. You don't have to be an artist to choose the right visuals and you don't have to be a computer expert to use them! Does it sound like an essential resource? What if it also saved you bags of time and bags of money? Would that make it an extremely essential resource? Well then, Click on...

1: I'm lectionary-linked!

The disc contains the At Hand Worship Visuals Browser which helps you choose the right visuals for your worship.

When planning worship, many churches use the Revised Common Lectionary. What if the At Hand Worship Visuals Browser instantly supplied visuals based on a worship theme drawn from the Lectionary readings and their place within the Church Calendar? Would that be fantastic? Well it does!
Simply scroll through the list of dates and titles of Principal Services (Sundays and major festivals). Appropriate visuals, along with alternatives, are instantly displayed. It couldn't be easier! - Well it could and it is! - The At Hand Worship Visuals Browser starts at the current date, immediately showing visuals for the next service!

But that's not all it does...

2: I suggest suitable visuals!

What if you want visuals to match a particular theme or style? That's fine! The At Hand Worship Visuals Browser can display visuals based on one of 29 styles or 43 themes. Every displayed Visual represents a unique Visual Presentation of 2-10 slides that can be used at various points within an act of worship: There's always an introductory visual (with a caption) to help the viewer reflect on the theme, and there's always an appropriate visual to place behind songs or readings. There's often an explanation of the intended use of images and/or interesting background info you'll find useful.

But that's not all it provides...

3: I find the visuals for you!

Even if the suggested visuals aren't quite what you were looking for, the At Hand Worship Visuals Browser can still help you find appropriate visuals quickly: Its set of built in tools includes a rather clever Find Tool. The Find Tool does the 'looking' for you, so with the least amount of effort you can home in on the choice that best fits your needs.

But the help doesn't stop when it's found the visuals you want...

4: Using chosen visuals is made easy too!

After helping you choose visuals, the At Hand Worship Visuals Browser helps you use them. You no longer need to be a computer expert to display your visuals: Simply drag a visual and drop it in, or copy/paste without any thought about file names, locations or data formats.

It's made easy: Visual Presentations (.PPT) to Powerpoint software, single slides (.JPG) to dedicated Worship Presentation software – all done with a drag or a drop or a click or a 'pop' (using the 'Image Popper') Additionally, the 'Letterbox' can be configured to output various types of text data or input data for immediate access. The Help pages suggest applications including a step by step example where a list of required visuals is created and sent by email to 'The minister'.

5: I've got loads of useful help and advice

Just a click away, you'll find lots of uses of visuals suggested in the Help Pages with step-by-step guides showing you how to export to a whole range of software packages.

If you use Presentation Manager, SongPro or Worship Him you'll find the At Hand Worship Visuals Browser is tailor made to support and enhance your use of visuals within worship.

If you're not sure you've got the best software for the job, you're provided with extremely useful help and advice including free dedicated and general (Powerpoint compatible) presentation software!

The Help Pages connect with At Hand online so that they can be updated with the most recent advice, extended features and fresh ideas. (The advice on projectors could save you £100's!)

6: I'm web-linked for extra support and ideas

Linking the disc with online information keeps it alive and up to date. The 'At Box' brings your attention to ideas and related materials that can connect with your use of At Hand Worship Visuals: The At Hand worship visuals disc directs your thoughts wider than the boundaries of the projector's screen in church to consider how visuals can be used to project the Good News in our daily lives.

7: I'm DVD-linked for extra flexibility!

Pop the disc into a DVD player to access any visual in View & Choose mode. Short codes (2-4 digits) can be used to access visuals quickly so you can:

select Visuals on DVD, make note of their Visual Codes then access them later on a computer.
make your selection of Visuals on Computer and export the Visual Codes so that they can be viewed on a DVD Player.
include people in selecting Visuals even if they don't have a PC.
quickly check out a Visual or two without having to boot up your computer system.
display your choice of Visuals on the TV in your lounge
let somebody else see your choice of Visuals by phoning or texting the Codes to them!
