ProPresenter – Bewertungsseite 3

Vorteile

ProPresenter is really a very bright presentation making software. It has great playlist options too.

Nachteile

No, I have nothing bad to say about this amazing presentation software that makes great slides and presentations.

Vorteile

The thing I like the most about ProPresenter is how colorful and eye catching presentations are made effortlessly.

Nachteile

There is no problem encountered with ProPresenter during the time I was engaging with it. It is flawless.

Vorteile

Propreseter est un outil très rapide et très réactif qui aide les églises dans la présentation lors des évènements avec une interface intuitive et un moteur vidéo incroyable

Nachteile

C'est un logiciel qui n'est pas facile à comprendre au début et nécessite donc une formation

Vorteile

I like the ease with which you can use a variety of multimedia files, also the library of resources, even the free ones are very good.

Nachteile

It has a large learning curve, I consider the program to be very expensive, especially considering that you will not have many updates.

Vorteile

I really like how beautifully ProPresenter designs each and every slide with great precision and care.

Nachteile

I don't think there is any aspect of ProPresenter that I dislike or like the least. It is simply amazing.

Vorteile

The ProPresenter comes with many features and it is regularly updated. We were easily able to control the stage lights with it for each song with different themes. For the first time we were able to have have different displays for lead team, congregation and the sound/display team. It is a near perfect software

Nachteile

The cons seemed a lot especially for the size of our church. The cost is very high and it is a very technical software for any new person. Additionally, it will run but with difficulties for computers that are not very powerful especially for volunteers.

Vorteile

Conçu pour les évènements religieux, il est très fiable en présentation

Nachteile

Lors de l'utilisation de ProPresenter, je n'ai pas rencontrer d'inconvénients. Il est un outil complet

Vorteile

The software is available for both Mac and Window. Its easy to use especially in live streaming.

Nachteile

You will need serious training to be able to set it up.

Vorteile

Clear presentation with audio is possible and its very helpfull

Nachteile

None as such as all the features are good.

Vorteile

At first during i had a alot of dificulties using ProPresenter but now i do really enjoy using using it, integration was not easy as i needed to change machines upon machines to be able to use it.one of my best features is the the dual Monitor alot of similar applications don't have this function but ProPresenter has it and with the Free one available it just makes everything beautiful for us who can't afford to buy it

Nachteile

as of now i don't have any problme using propresenter but i will love to suggest that if we can add tutorial videos to the application itself, in such a way that when someone installs it he then can watch the tutorials it will really help newbies to the application, helping us to maintain them and make their stay with ProPresenter a great one

Vorteile

Un logiciel qui permet de s'investir à fond dans des événementiels, surtout dans l'organisation et dans les représentations des saintes écritures

Nachteile

Pas d'inconvénients, à recommander vivement

Vorteile

Affordable and not overly complicated to operate once you have a notion of what you’re doing.

Nachteile

Several glitches with streaming functionality. At times can be daunting to implement. There’s so much you could do with it that it becomes too much.

Vorteile

I like ProPresenter because it has the most beautiful presentation skills andnslide making abilities.

Nachteile

I see no errors or bugs while using and playing large presentations on ProPresenter. It is so great.

Vorteile

Versatile: ProPresenter has a wide range of features, such as video playing, live video switching, and interaction with social media platforms, that enable you to build dynamic and captivating presentations.User-friendly: Anyone can produce presentations that look professional thanks to ProPresenter's user-friendly interface.ProPresenter is cross-platform, allowing users to operate on their preferred Mac or Windows operating system.Integration: Video cameras, lighting setups, and audio mixers are just a few of the hardware and software components that ProPresenter can be combined with.

Nachteile

Cost: ProPresenter is a paid programme that can be fairly pricey. Smaller businesses or individuals may not be able to afford it.Despite being simple to use, ProPresenter has a steep learning curve that could take some time and effort to master.ProPresenter is resource-intensive and might cause performance problems on older or less powerful computers, especially when playing back large presentations or films.

Vorteile

The software helped me to create unique and beautiful presentations. It assisted me in maintaining student interest throughout presentations and lessons. There are lots of tools to use and choose from. There are many tools available for use and selection. Additionally, it is user-friendly and not overly difficult to use.

Nachteile

There are times that the program crashed maybe twice, however all my works was saved. I'm not so sure if it was the software's problem or just my device.

Vorteile

Il ont une très bonne présentation et prestations, j'ai aimé le logiciel

Nachteile

Un peu coûteux
Mais en général j'aime beaucoup

Vorteile

Su interfaz en amigable y agradable para crear las presentaciones que necesito.

Nachteile

Su precio es bastante alto lo cual lo hace un poco difícil de pagar pero tiene buena calidad.

Vorteile

ProPresentor is one of the best ways to make a presentation. It’s easy to edit and stores all your media.

Nachteile

Sometimes it’s can be difficult to figure out what the pictures icons mean.

Vorteile

What I like most about ProPresenter is its versatility. It allows me to display various types of media, including video, images, and text, all in one presentation.

Nachteile

ProPresenter's downside is its price. It is a bit expensive, especially for smaller organizations or individuals who may not use it as frequently.

Vorteile

Its intuitive interface and customisable features make it easy to create dynamic and engaging presentations for any type of presentation, from small meetings to large conferences. The ability to integrate it with other multimedia sources, such as videos, images and audio, has greatly enhanced my presentations.

Nachteile

It can be a little difficult to use at first for new users and some functions can be difficult to handle.

Vorteile

I love that I can seamlessly switch between different slides and media, add cool transitions, and keep the audience engaged throughout the entire stream

Nachteile

It'd be nice to have more built-in graphics and templates to save me time

Vorteile

So far the powerful and yet easy usage of the program especially when presenting important information in a big group

Nachteile

So far, we have not encountered a feature or part of the software that has not worked for us

Vorteile

For us - ProPresenter's ease of use and how easy it is to train someone on makes ProPresenter our top choice. It's integration with CCLI, Planning Center, and more helps give this program a leg up in the competition as we use those services regularly as well. ProPresenter is also very intuitive to set up services, create and edit slides, and create different transitions between each!

Nachteile

The only downside to ProPresenter is the new subscription based plan. While I understand it takes money to make new features and release them to its users, it causes it to feel more like the user is working with a beta version of the software with bugs and glitches that get fixed with future updates. I would rather pay a larger sum of money for a program that is finished and pay for the next version if there are features I feel like are missing from what I purchased before. Sometimes the feature updates are not something I'd like to have.

Vorteile

Easy to use and user-friendly interface.Vast library of pre-designed templates and backgrounds.

Nachteile

Lacks advanced features like 3D rendering or motion graphics.

Vorteile

Multi-screen support, virtual stage display and stage mirroring is available.

Nachteile

User interface is overwhelming and little bit harder for the beginners.

Vorteile

The biggest advantage of using ProPresenter for us was the ability to have multiple outputs to multiple displays. Having the ability to add and subtract layers on the fly is another great advantage of using this great software.
The ability to integrate it with our present music production software (Ableton Live) is what made it possible to automate our audio and lighting scenes. This is far ahead of what the competition offers at the moment.

Nachteile

The barrier to entry is probably the price and yearly subscription. While it may not be a lot, the possibility of a very small congregation or international audiences not being able to afford it, is a likelihood.

Vorteile

ProPresenter 7 enables our relatively small church to present professional looking graphics to our online and in house worshipers. Even though the initial learning curve is relatively steep, there are plenty of tutorials and videos available to make the learning detailed and easy. Once I learned the basics, I was astounded at the simplicity and complexity of the program. You can do basic presentation with ease and quickly master more complicated ways of utilizing the capabilities of ProPresenter more fully. One of the best and most helpful features is the ability to create different themes that can be applied to text. This saves you so much time. Separating media, slides, announcements, video input etc. into different layers that can be selected or cleared gives you many different options and features in using the product. Being able to send the same text to a display in house on a full screen and at the same time as a lower third on a live stream is a very useful feature. Another great feature is that your work is immediately saved as you work on a presentation. No need to worry that you will lose your work if you forget to save. This is also not a stagnant one time buy, but a product which evolves and improves all the time with new features and the latest ideas for application.

Nachteile

For whatever reason the program takes a while to load on a computer. More so than most other software programs. Even though there is an app available that can serve as a remote to control the program from a phone or tablet, as apposed to a computer, the design is poor and the functionality is limited. Propresenter recently released a plug in for stream deck, which is also available as an app, which will probably make up for the lack of a good remote. As far as I am aware of, there is no physical remote that will work well with ProPresenter.

Vorteile

Pro Presenter is easy to use. I can teach a volunteer to use the basic features within a few minutes of sitting down at the computer. The integration with CCLI to import songs is a feature that is a huge time saver. Formatting is a breeze with the toolbar. Editing spelling errors on the fly is quick and easy. Overall it is a great value for the purchase price. My team loves it, and we will continue to us it for many years to come. It is simple to make professional presentations quickly.

Nachteile

The only area I would like to see improved is the mobile app. It is very nice to have, but is a little slow to load things on the fly.

Vorteile

I really love the versatility of this product. We've used ProPresenter since it was in its fourth revision, and we now use ProPresenter7. I can plan out presentations weeks in advance if I have them figured out, and we can add multiple playlists for pre- and post-service music in as many categories as we'd like.

The ease of importing songs is aided by the link to SongSelect, and that really speeds things along when adding anything new.

Nachteile

Using ProPresenter 4, 5, and 6 were helpful in at least having a baseline of knowledge of how the program works. However, there were so many changes to ProP7 (all of them good) that it took a little relearning to be able to use and format basic things. Part of this was the way we were using it—going from in-person services only to in-person and livestream—so the setup was naturally a lot different. The learning curve from 6 to 7 was a bit steeper for me because the updated design shuffled a lot of features around and renamed them. This was at the same time we began using the different lyric and sermon formatting for livestreaming, so that's probably on me, rather than ProP, but now that I have the hang of it again, we're good.

Vorteile

The layout and design to build a service is laid out nicely. The BEST part of this product is the building of libraries and how easy it is to build a service or presentation from your libraries, even quick additions while live!

Nachteile

A few times while creating a playlist, we will find something added was not there when we started up the playlist later. We have still not solved this mystery but just have a note to always double-check for all presentations to be in the playlist!

Vorteile

I've been using ProPresenter for over 10 years, initially as a volunteer on ProPresenter 3 and now as the Creative Director who purchased ProPresenter 7 last year for our church plant. Overall, I don't know of anything that does what it does, at least not not as well. It's fairly stable, it can output to multiple screens now with different looks, and it is very user-friendly. Most updates that they make are very helpful, and often even things I didn't consider that I would want but are super helpful.

Nachteile

Really the only cons for me are that sometimes ProPresenter 7 seems to get bogged down and run slowly, and certain things that have gotten updated and not carried over from previous versions are things I miss (like being able to format the text for multiple slides at once). Text editing and importing media seem to be the only things I consistently struggle with. However, I have noticed there seems to be a little more of a learning curve with ProPresenter 7 than with previous versions as I teach new volunteers how to use it.

Vorteile

The ease of use. ProPresenter generally just works. It is so hassle free and is so simple that i was able to teach it to seniors and children! When i allow end users to run our system i feel confident that they will be able to create, and run a flawless presentation!

Nachteile

The only small gripe i have is that ProPresenter Pro License doesn't come with alot of free or embeded stock videos or images. The base price point is fair, i just wish there were more stock photos, video and sounds for the Pro license.

Warum ProPresenter gewählt wurde

There were a lot of reasons that i recommended against our organization purchasing EasyWorship. The biggest reason i did not have our organization purchase EasyWorship is because its workflow is counteractive and not fluid; for example i remember trying to utilize my iTunes library and getting frustrated with how difficult it was to integrate. In comparison Pro-Presenter has a simple iTunes integration protocol and allows for users to run entire playlist from the main window!

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ProPresenter

We chose ProPresenter because it is simple to use, has Hi quality, Rarely has issues (i can trust that it will run and not fail during a services or meetings), If it does have small issues the customer service team is extremely helpful and detailed oriented.

Vorteile

We use ProPresenter during our church services and events to display Bible verses, song lyrics, informational slides, etc.

Overall it's very easy to setup and use. The software is usually operated by volunteers So the ease of use is very important since it makes training volunteers a very simple process. People can usually pick up the basics within a couple minutes.

It also has built in support for Bible verses which is a great addition.

Nachteile

SEARCH FUNCTION:
The search function is very slow. We have only 372 documents in our library, but the latency is very noticeable when you try to search for something. I imagine it will only get worse as our catalog grows.

Also I like that the search function brings up results based on title and the content of the documents. However in my opinion queries should add priority to exact title matches. A simple example of this: If I search the for a song titled "You are Good" it will bring up every single song with the phrase "You are Good". However the song that I want, which exactly matches the query will be all the way at the bottom of the results because it begins with a Y. This should not be the case.

So concerning the search I basically request faster search results and smarter sorting of the results as well. (The faster search results would be nice for the bible verses as well)

OTHER STUFF:
I can't list all of these off of the top of my head, but here are some annoying quirks I've experienced when using ProPresenter.

- ProPresenter doesn't remember display settings for the slide thumbnails. Every time I open it I have to zoom in on the slide thumbnails so the volunteers can read it. The same goes for bible verse results
- The "checking for updates dialogue" doesn't go away automatically if there is no update. It just keeps going and going until I manually close it.
- Random crashes (on a fairly powerful Windows PC). Although it seems like it's been better recently.

Vorteile

It integrates with Planning Center Online.
It has stage display

Nachteile

It's designed for Mac, and the Windows version is not built very well.
Some dialog boxes are non-standard, they've injected Mac dialog boxes into the Windows version, so buttons and functionality are different than other Windows software.
Preferences menu has been built to look/act like Mac. Why??
Double-click functionality works in some parts of the software, but not others.
Doesn't import PowerPoint presentations very well. The only way to reliably import PowerPoint is to remove all transitions and animations, then import PPT as JPG.
And forget about Google Slides! It takes a lot of work to convert Google Slides to PowerPoint, fix all the formatting, then import to ProPresenter.
Frequent crashes - well maybe not actually frequent, but often enough that I'm searching for some other solution that is more stable. Whenever there's a glitch or hiccup in the software (ProPresenter) I have to restart the whole computer. If I don't, I know that it won't be long before ProPresenter crashes entirely, and then I'll have to restart computer anyway.
Integration between ProPresenter Display Settings and Windows Display Settings is not good. So what happens is, many times when I start up ProPresenter, it has mixed up the order of my screens, so it puts the Stage Display on my main monitor. I frequently have to disable the stage display, go into Preferences, change the stage display, then re-enable it again.

Vorteile

The ease of use is probably my favorite thing. If you need a basic display system for your church this will get you going right away without a hitch. If you need more advanced, multi network, multi screens, adding confidence moniters or stage displays, using iPads and IP networks with a control room. Ya know the mega church display setup.... this is still the preferred program to use. The training available from the manufacture is also a plus, as well as the online community constantly helping each other use this product to their specific needs. The continual advancement of the product is great, but also past versions still function wonderfully without the need to update unless you just need to advance with the times. Another is the nearly perfect problem-less track record of using the software it has in the 5+ years of me using it across multiple systems, setups, and churches.
The ability for nontech volunteers to quickly learn the program is worth any church investing. I train people who barely know how to operate a computer or operate a Mac, and they catch on quickly because the software makes it easy. Even as they are learning and there are problems with wrongs slides displaying (user errors), I'm able to oversee them and quickly fix without a big ordeal and without distraction for the audience on my accounts.
The integration with other products are excellent too. Whether it be SongSelect, social media in your messages, advanced graphics cards/etc, or iPads/Apple TVs.

Nachteile

If I have to say one negative is this software works best with Mac's. Through the years the software has had issues with PC's running ProPresenter. Although I have heard that the latest ProP 6 has corrected most conflicts in Windows software, so this con may be mute by now, I don't know I stick to Mac for our media computers.

Vorteile

This product is so easy to use to set up our multi-media worship services! From loading song lyrics to running announcement slides and even showing videos, ProPresenter keeps everything organized and in one place. I also like having the flexibility in using the different layout templates provided as well as being able to create my own templates.

Nachteile

The only thing I struggle with in using ProPresenter is getting the libraries to sync between different computers on our campus. This may be due to my limited understanding of the syncing process however, or could be how our server is set up.

Vorteile

ProPresenter a very robust product that is particularly suited to the church environment although I have used it for other types of events as well. It has maintained its focus on the most essential tasks for media presentation a provided a good balance between complexity/flexibility and ease of use - especially when many operators are volunteers using the product infrequently.

As an advanced user I like that I can integrate the software with other major components such as lighting and video systems in a way that actually enhances the simplicity of operation - and eliminating points of failure.

While there are a few things I would like to see added or improved I appreciate the fact that the interface remains very consistent - again making it simple and reliable.

The price is right. We have a site licence and even though we are not a massive church it has proven invaluable in any space where presentations are being made.

Nachteile

1. I would like to see support for third party video devices from more companies such as AJA.
2. Some of the slide building features are too basic. No gradients, no ability to lock the position of text boxes while still being able to edit them. Templates limited to formatting only one text box.
3. I find the separate audio window to be clunky. I would like to see control and playback view of audio files available without having to expand the audio window.
4. There is no good way to view slides formatted for large screens which have small text. We need a third option for display of slides - not just text or side layout.
5. Some of the modules such as SDI or alpha seem relatively expensive compared to the price of the software.
6. Would love to see some way to integrate control over other software such as iTunes or Spotify. Probably being able to trigger AppleScript cues.
7. Would like to see more information about cues added to slides rather than just a generic icons. Especially for MIDI cues or stage display layout choice.
8. Would like to be able to have a cue palette that is not tied to slides - customizable additions to the clear functions etc for external triggers especially.

Vorteile

I know that proPresenter is mainly used in churches for presentations but I can't help but use it as a developer to present my PPTs because it's an easy-to-use tool with a good GUI.

Nachteile

I personally do not dislike anything about ProPresenter.

Vorteile

Easy to use and volunteer friendly software allows multiple operators, multiple outputs, and is extremely versatile. The mobile app enables operators from anywhere to make quick slide changes. The options built in the software enables​ presentations to be planned and executed in a fast-paced environment. ProPresenter's integrated Stage Display feature enables the Floor Director and talent to communicate without traditional whiteboards​, enables the band and vocalists to follow through with songs and performances, and enables the speaker to see notes on a confidence monitor.

Nachteile

The lack of the ability to search inside a specific presentation (such as a 150 slide show) to find a specific item hurts response time. It is difficult to find loaded resources for last unplanned minute requests (such as loaded testimonies, videos, etc). The inclusion of the Bible feature is nice, but not having the ability to hot switch to a new version from a created slide (automatically update formatted slide to the ​new version) decreases response time. The mobile app doesn't allow you to load pictures, videos on the fly from camera roll or from another desktop app to the operating machine. The background and foreground element have transitional problems, and the multiple transitions system is very complicated (and I have never understood it fully). We default​ to using a manual transition to slide or just the global one. ProPresenter may yield​ unexpected results after prolonged use.

Vorteile

There are many things I like about ProPresenter especially in our house of worship setting. I like how it makes presenting various multimedia formats nearly seamless, once imported. It's flexible, powerful, and relatively easy to use, once the presentation is built. I really like the multiple display options, especially the ability to change the stage display from default to mirrored with a simple cue within the presentation.

Nachteile

As easy as it is to use ProPresenter, setting it up can be a difficult process at times. We've not gotten ProPresenter to do certain animations like other presentation software will do. Unfortunately, importing other presentation software into ProPresenter can be a minefield of wasted time if your presentation isn't in exactly the right format with everything sized correctly, text boxes correctly placed, and graphics and text all in a single layer. It has also been our experience that ProPresenter runs much more smoothly on a Mac computer than on a PC with similar hardware configurations.

Vorteile

I like that it is relatively dependable. I like that most of my volunteers can just click the next slide to actually run the program. I also like that it talks to other programs well enough, though I don't like having to pay for extra features like midi integration etc. I believe we paid enough for the program up front.

Nachteile

I have used mac pretty much my whole life. There are things that I love about it, and things that I just live with, as is the case with any operating system. However, the general consensus in the millennial worship community is that mac is the end-all for churches. And rightly so. With programs like Logic, Mainstage, Garageband, Imovie, Final Cut, etc. all under the $500 price range, it is easy to see why churches will dish out the cash for a mac when they begin shopping for high-end tech rather than sticking with free programs that can't perform as well or as reliably. The problem with Pro Presenter is that it was clearly not designed for someone who spends most of their time in "Apple World." The question is not, does PP run flawlessly on a mac, but does it feel like it should run on a mac. My answer is no. PP just feels like a program that was designed by programers, which is strange when you consider that it's primary function is to help in the realm of aesthetics. The volunteer nerds that I have running the software each week, which, I believe should represent about 80% of your clientele, do not have the ability to be trained effectively in PP because they are not working in the program enough. I can confidently say that the majority of the people actually running your program are not paid to do so, and have had little to no involvement in the design of the presentations that they control. I will continue my thoughts in the next section as I am out of space.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ProPresenter

it is the industry standard

Vorteile

- A feature set that is perfect for churches and constantly evolving with the times.
- Unlimited site license and free download gives unparalleled value.
- A friendly and intuitive interface for the basics with intricate and power-packed features under the hood.
- Versatile enough to be the perfect choice for everything from conferences to funerals and church services to concerts, and also perfect for single screen, multiscreen or feeding into an IMAG system as an alpha overlay. Makes it easy to train staff and volunteers on one product across a wide variety of contexts.

Nachteile

- In depth features can become confusing and hard to find information on, especially when combining add-on modules for specific functionality.

Vorteile

Me ha servido para presentar videos de danzas cristianas en proyecciones a grandes pantallas sumando su compatibilidad con mis dispositivos de audio, videos y equipos amplificados.

Nachteile

La configuración de poder seleccionar entre dos tarjetas gráficas con la salida de video independiente.

Vorteile

ProPresenter gives the church just about everything it needs to put on an excellent presentation on Sunday mornings, with lyrics, slides, announcements, countdowns...anything you need for service is at your fingertips.

- First, this is a rare gem to have a one-time payment software. It's an investment, but you don't have to commit to monthly or yearly payments, which is very nice.
- Lyric slides are robust giving you all the options you need to manipulate font and images.
- For sermons, you can build really nice slides in propresenter, or bring in your powerpoint slides to use as well.
- We really enjoy the lyric import tool syncing with songselect. So any new song that comes in we don't have to type up. Just import it and set it up as you want it to look on the slides.
- There are numerous options to enhance your presentation experience such as Bibles you can load on there and plugging in your Twitter feed.
- Also, media is very easy to handle. Import images and videos and pull them up easily with their "bin" system.
- Last thing I want to hit on is the playlist system is very easy to use. Build your "Sunday morning playlist" by dragging and dropping in lyrics, slides, and other media.

Nachteile

The only con about ProPresenter is how daunting the software can be. You are provided with tutorial videos and documentation, but with all the customizability inside, it can be easy to get lost, so you really have to watch the videos several times and go along with the software to get a feel for where everything is.

The other con is only if it's on Windows machines, I've seen it crash or freeze more often on Windows than Macs.

Vorteile

Livestreaming from ProPresenter was an amazing feature for them to add. When we switched our livestream over to ProPresenter, we fixed issues we didn't even know we had.

ProPresenter has unlimited output screens, so you can have 3, 6, 10, 50 individual output destinations, and ProPresenter can send your content to them all.

The slide editor is seriously powerful. There's no need to build slides in Power Point anymore. Just train your pastor to edit their slides in ProPresenter. All will be well.

ProPresenter is constantly getting bug fixes and major feature update.

NDI is built-in to the software.

Nachteile

Occasional bugs here and there, but I've never ran into anything show-stopping that wasn't a user error.

Vorteile

It allows you to store and organize multiple media types, and playlist for ease of functionality during events. It also syncs with our Planning Center Online account, which allows us the ability to import our plans, which saves a ton of time and effort. It's also very easy to learn the basics. We've had to have people run it in emergency situations before that had never run it before, and in just a few minutes, we were able to show them the basics.

Nachteile

The DVD function stopped scaling the video properly when our Mac Pro was updated to Mojave, so now we are not able to use it during services or any event that requires more that just the DVD player. (If all you're doing is using the DVD feature, you can change the resolution and use it, but it makes all your backgrounds unusable until you change it back).

One other strange thing is that when we type in the document search bar the name of a song, for example, more times than not, documents that may have those key words in them, but not in their titles show up before the actual song with the title of the words you are typing in. It typically makes us fill in most, if not all of a song name before the song itself shows up in the search results.

Vorteile

Simple to use. Communication actions. I use MIDI to unmute my soundboard channels for video clips. I also use different stage displays for different sections of the worship service. Hope to trigger some lights in the near future.
Site licence option

Nachteile

It seems to have some bugs. When editing a playlist it always jumps to the bottom. Or converting to lower thirds with a graphic the software will crash. Occasionally Master control on the slave computer will freeze the primary. Ipad issues with seeing the preview.
Probably the biggest complaint from Pastors is they can't see the next slide on stage display when going from the end of one item to the next. Example the end of a song in stage display show next blank slide. They would like to see the next item coming.
Sync shows that it is syncing regardless of it it is connected to the network drive or now.
Sync seems to be a little buggy. We started to export only. Delete everything from the media bin and playlist and then import fresh on the other computers.

Warum ProPresenter gewählt wurde

Function. Seemed like more churches we talked to were using Propresenter. Found we could integrate with models such as master control, MIDI / Communication control . Direct import bibles, link Song Select, layers.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ProPresenter

Churches we talked to & most visiting groups we had were all using propresenter so we felt like that would be the industry standard. I feel it was a great switch. Also the site licence seemed like a affordable option.

Vorteile

The software is fairly easy to use and setup. We don't use all the extra modules that you can also purchase, and there are a lot of them. I love all the different areas to put items and arrange them the way I want to see them. I like the easy way to create new slides and videos right in the software.
The telestrator add on was definitely worth it for us. A great little item that allows you to write on the slide or video that you are showing. Works really well and very easy to use!!
Being able to purchase media from within the software is so nice and easy - goes into one place automatically and can be renamed and moved easily too.

Nachteile

There are several things I wish would improve. First of all, I wish the ProRemote app would be updated. This is the reason we purchased the software and it has disappointed us repeatedly!! For a long time, the Playlist would not show on remote at all (now it does but takes a long time to load even when I use a dedicated router to connect). Also, ProRemote will disconnect every 30 minutes or so, whether you just used it or not! Very frustrating. And there is no volume control with remote.
When I load new videos or audio into the software, the volume of the audio is always changed - either louder or softer (which makes it even harder to use ProRemote)!
ProPresenter is a huge program and takes a LONG time to load, even though we purchased a laptop with a little better than the recommended requirements (above the minimum). Once it finally loads, it usually works okay.
Never click on something in the program and then change your mind, the software will just stop responding.

Vorteile

Easy to use: ProPresenter has a straightforward and user-friendly interface, making it simple to create and manage presentations. Multi-screen support: ProPresenter supports multiple screens, allowing you to display lyrics, images, and videos on separate displays. Customization: ProPresenter offers a range of customization options, including the ability to add backgrounds, change font styles, and more. Automated processes: ProPresenter offers a range of automated processes, including automatic slide transitions and song database updates. Reliable performance: ProPresenter is known for its reliable performance, making it a great choice for events and other live presentations.

Nachteile

Limited multimedia support: ProPresenter only supports limited multimedia formats, making it difficult to display some types of media. Steep learning curve: ProPresenter can be challenging to learn and master, especially for those without prior experience with presentation software.

Vorteile

I love having a library of many, many songs and the ability to easily and quickly create a playlist. I can use templates to change the formatting of multiple songs at once. I can create different instances of a song so we can use the same song in multiple services but with different verses or arrangements. I love the ability to control the software with my iPhone and use an iPad for a stage display, all connected wirelessly, as well as the option of a screen in the back of our sanctuary that can either mirror the main display or show different options (next slide, clock, timer, etc.) This is a very capable program with features that can be added, including the ability to easily select verses to display from different scripture translations, etc.

Nachteile

I use the app on both a Mac (to create slides and for personal presentations in other settings) and a PC (in the sanctuary for worship), and the 2016 HP PC suffers in its performance in two ways. First, it takes a bit longer to click on a song and drag it to a playlist on the PC than on the Mac, so setting up a playlist takes longer. Second, even though we purchased a pretty capable graphics card for the PC, it simply is not capable of playing 1080 HD; it works much more smoothly with 720HD, so we have to downsize purchased backgrounds, videos, and the like. My 2015 MacBook Pro has no such limitations.

One other thing, importing from PowerPoint is by no means as seamless as suggested. There's a lot of rejiggering and reformatting required... But it is possible and it saves time over re-creating a presentation.
