This course walks through everything you need to know to get Lightkey up and running in your church—from first-time setup to live service execution. Whether you're just getting started or you're looking to train volunteers and streamline your programming process, this series covers every essential workflow using Lightkey in a live worship environment.
You’ll learn how to patch fixtures, lay out your room in preview, program looks using presets and effects, and control your entire lighting rig using cues, MIDI controllers, and even automation from ProPresenter. Each step is broken down into practical workflows that are optimized for Sunday mornings, with real-world examples pulled straight from a live production context.
What You’ll Learn
System Setup and Output: Configure USB and network DMX output, and understand how LightKey fits into your rig.
Fixture Management: Patch fixtures, create universes, and visualize your room in the 2D preview window.
Programming and Design: Build presets, apply effects, and create consistent looks with tools like fanning and grouping.
Live Service Operation: Use Live View to create cues, cue lists, and transitions that volunteers can easily manage.
Automation and Integration: Trigger lighting changes from ProPresenter using MIDI—whether on the same computer or across your network.
External Control Options: Expand control with MIDI controllers or keyboard shortcuts for flexible hands-on operation.
This course is designed to help your team operate confidently and creatively with Lightkey—whether you're lighting for a small portable church or a multi-campus broadcast setup.
