I've been playing with playlists to automate a few steps at the start of our church service. I want to show the first powerpoint slide in an overlay for 30 seconds, and then jump to the third. I've tried several times and I can select the powerpoint input and tell it what slide I want, but it always stays at slide 1.

As well as in the overlay, I also have the powerpoint as an output to our projector.

Any thoughts why it won't select the slide I want?

Thanks

Hi. Try this. Go to shortcuts and a make a shortcut -->Function-->SelectIndex. For input select your powerpoint input. In the field Value index put for example the number 3 if you want the 3rd slide and try if work. Or if you want to do this with commands try this
for example for ppt that it is input 1 and you want to overlay it in overlay1 channel

API.Function("OverlayInput1In", Input:="1")
sleep (30000)
API.Function("SelectIndex", Input:="1", Value:="3")

Thanks. switching to this approach with a countdown timer gets me to where I want to be instead of using a playlist.
