Playlist

Playlist Overview

The playlist is a mixed-content list designed to structure your service. It combines Bible verses, songs, images, videos, audio, and free slides into a single ordered flow.

  • Drag and drop to reorder items
  • Filter by category: video, audio, image, slide
  • Mixed content in a single list

Adding Content

Several ways to add content to your playlist:

  • Add the currently selected verse
  • Add a song or song slide
  • Add media from the library (image, video, audio)
  • Create free text slides for announcements, quotes, or greetings
  • Generate a whole presentation from your sermon text (see “AI sermon slides” below)

Free Slides

Create custom slides via the "+" button. Ideal for announcements, quotes, or welcome messages. They open in the slide editor (auto-fitted text, widgets, image tools, animated backgrounds) and stay editable at any time — see the Templates page for the editor details.

Tip: 3 to 5 lines per slide are recommended for optimal readability on the projection screen.

If your brand kit is set up, the paintbrush icon on a free slide applies the brand colours and fonts without moving anything (undo available for 8 seconds) — see the Brand kit page.

AI sermon slides

The ✨ “Generate with AI” button, in the left rail of the Playlist page, turns your sermon text into a presentation ready to project: opening, numbered sections, points, quotes, verses and conclusion.

  1. Sermon — paste your text or drop a .txt, .md or .docx file (30,000 characters max; an older .doc must be saved as .docx from Word). Quoted verses are counted live, on your computer. Options: type (auto-detect, sermon, announcement) and slide language.
  2. Look — choose a style — Editorial, Sanctuary or Modern — with its colours, fonts, layouts and backgrounds; up to 3 Bible versions; and the verse template. By default, each style brings its own verse template (one column per version), saved once and reused. If a brand kit exists, “Use my brand” applies its colours, fonts and church name to the chosen style.
  3. Preview — the preview is exactly what will be created. Switch style, brand or versions without running the generation again; edit, exclude or reorder slides; then create a new playlist or add to an existing one (category “All” or “Slide”).
  • Long sermons are covered from start to finish: the numbered parts of your text are detected and any part the AI skipped is generated again. Anything still missing is reported in the preview.
  • Your headings are copied word for word; a long list is split across several slides instead of being cut off.
  • Verse text comes from your local Bibles, in every chosen version — never from the AI. Abbreviated references, references written “11 : 1” and ranges (Romans 8:28-30) are recognised.
  • The created slides are free slides, fully editable in the editor.

Requires an internet connection, a lixpresentr.app account linked to the app, a plan that includes AI slides (see the Pricing page) and AI credits, used according to the length of the text processed. Offline, only slides for the detected verses are offered. Once the preview is shown, changing only the versions uses no new credits; changing the text, type or language runs the generation again.

Playlist panel

Since version 1.1.21, your playlists are listed in a persistent panel on the left of the page, resizable and hideable from the side rail.

  • Search by name and filter by category.
  • “Sort and filter” menu: last modified, created, name, item count, period, empty playlists.
  • Service date: each playlist can carry the date of the service (when creating or via “Edit”). Sort by service date to see playlists grouped by month, next service first.
  • Duplicate: on hover or from the menu, copy with or without its items, name suggested automatically — perfect for starting from last week's service.
  • Safe deletion: the app asks whether the items go too (items used elsewhere are always kept) and an “Undo” button stays available for 8 seconds.

PowerPoint import and sharing

  • PowerPoint import (.pptx) — Drop your presentation: it becomes a playlist with faithful thumbnails. Desktop app only; slides are converted to images (no re-editable elements) via LibreOffice, free — the app guides you if it is not installed.
  • Playlist export / import — Share a complete playlist between machines as a JSON file, with embedded images.

Autoplay

Autoplay mode advances slides automatically. Configure the duration per slide (1-120 seconds) and transition delay (0-10 seconds). A green progress bar indicates the remaining time.

  • Manual override available at any time
  • Ideal for announcement slideshows
  • Perfect for musical backgrounds with images

Navigation

Navigate the playlist with Previous/Next buttons. Click an item to select it. Double-click to project it immediately.
