ProPresenter has released some great new features in the past few months and we just wanted to remind everyone of them. So here is a little breakdown of their newest additions.
ProPresenter Cloud (Mac & Windows)
Now you can edit and share presentations and content from anywhere you have Internet access and ProPresenter running. This exciting new feature offers incredible convenience. If church staff want to work on services at home without the hassle of exporting and transferring their presentations, they can do so easily now using their own system.
With this annual subscription service, all machines on the same account will automatically stay in sync. What you create and upload at home or the office will automatically be downloaded to your presentation machines. This is also a great solution for deploying content and presentations to multiple locations and across platforms. You can easily set up presentations on one machine and it will automatically be deployed to all users signed up on that account.
ProPresenter MIDI Module [ Mac Only ]
The ProPresenter MIDI module for Mac allows you to control ProPresenter by a MIDI controller. While simple commands can be initiated from a MIDI keyboard, users can take advantage of the more advanced triggering methods obtained through sequencers (i.e. Ableton Live/Digital Performer) or lighting consoles. This tool is a great way to allow the band to run lryics from the stage or start video playback, as the Chris Tomlin band did on their recent tour.
ProPresenter Communications Module [ Mac Only ]
The communications module for ProPresenter gives you advanced capabilities to control ProPresenter running on your Mac from other production devices (and in some cases control other production devices) to simplify the workflow for your production crew. The module features a number of different protocols for communicating including:
Art-Net for Lighting Consoles (DMX over Ethernet)
Control ProPresenter Slides, Backgrounds, Audio, and Timelines from a lighting console to trigger videos simultaneously with lighting cues.
Video Switchers/Deck Controllers Controlling ProPresenter
There are a bevy of protocols for video switchers that ProPresenter can work with, among them are:
- VDCP and AMP (Serial or Ethernet)
- Sony BVW (Serial)
- RossTalk (Ethernet)
ProPresenter Controlling Video Switchers:
- Sony BVS (Serial)
- GVG 100 (Serial or Ethernet)
- RossTalk (Ethernet)
MIDI (through a MIDI interface or over a network
Control ProPresenter Slides, Backgrounds, Audio, and Timelines from any MIDI standard interface or software sequencer (i.e. Ableton Live, Digital Performer, etc.).
As you can see Renewed Vision has been busy making all these great new features. If you would like to purchase ProPresenter and get our great bundle of free media follow this link Buy ProPresenter Now
This Module has a lot of creative potential and it’s really up to the user as to how you apply it to your system. From the research I have done it seems like pretty much any midi controller will work with ProPressenter. This module can use midi controllers to operate tons of features within ProPresenter. This could come in handy with midi foot switches for when you are without a media worker or you just want to have specific queues set up that you might want your worship leader to trigger from the stage.
Here is a screenshot of the MiDi Module Control Panel in Propresenter 5.
As you can see there is a lot of features that are controllable via MiDi devices. These can be applied in several different ways depending on your situation.
You can download Stage Display at the Apple App Store here.
EasyWorship 2009 Tutorial Difficulty Level:Intermediate
This process is pretty involved but it is definitely worth it. As stated in the video H.264 is a great codec that cuts down on size of video while maintaining quality. This format is very common in video loops and mini movies found online which is why this codec is very important. For more information about the codecs check out this tutorial it gives you an in-depth look at each one and goes over pros and cons for each one.
