Google Slides Template is a utility template to work alongside with other templates such as the Bug and with complete template packs such as Elemento or Two-Tone.

Google Slides Template adds new possibilities to live productions.

Other team members can prepare content before the on-air begins and the content can be updated during production also. Changes done to the Slides do not update on-screen while they are out, latest content is only loaded at play command. Consider these use cases:

• Sponsor logos
• Newest Patreon supporters lists are easy to update
• Topics of the day
• Product reviews with images
• GIF animations
• Dynamic graphs and charts can be linked from Google Sheets
• Looping carousels of news items, sports results, weather data, photo galleries...

Core features

• Template for playing out a page from Google Slides document
• Size selector: show only a part of the page on your video (fullscreen, left/right/bottom half/third)
• Animation style selector (wipe, slide, fade, cut)

• When template is played the layer animates in with desired animation and is shown at chosen size, such fullscreen, lower third, left half etc. When stopped the layer will quickly fade out (cut).
• Google Slides Layer template uses embed mechanism provided by Google
• The template comes with different animation type options: cut, fade, slide in from top/right/bottom/left, wipe in from top/right/bottom/left
• There is a control to choose how the slide is shown on-screen. You can download this image to be used as a layout guide in your Google Slides to align elements within the size options available in the template
  • Full screen
  • Left half or third
  • Right half or third
  • Lower half or third
• With loop-option, the template first shows the page defined in the page number field and then after a given delay the next page is displayed, then next, and next... The loop will resume from the first page when the end is reached. This looping facility can be helpful in showing news items, sponsors, statistics, contact information etc.
