Do you run tracks? Are you in a pinch for volunteers to run slides on Sunday? Is there other gear you need to get? All of this stuff will factor in, so don’t be afraid to try as many options as possible before you make a final decision!
REMOVE WATERMARK FROM PROPRESENTER DEMO UPGRADE
I would encourage you, though, to STOP and consider if this move needs to be a part of a bigger upgrade plan. and there are a ton of tutorials out there to help you if you need them.Īgain, you may just be in the market for a new slide projection software. I’ve seen ProPresenter being run by sixth graders, too, so I would say its fairly intuitive. So, pointing back to my note about support and resources, we went this direction because we were confident we could find SOMEONE to help us if we ever got in a jam. PrePresenter may not be the only option out there that allows you to do this, but it does seem to be the standard. All of that stuff is connnected, so it’s important to make sure we were spending the right money, in the right places. we planned on implementing Ableton, moving to Mac, and automating slides in one decision. We’re still in the process of converting over to this setup, but this goes back to what I was saying about having a plan. The second reason is that ProPresenter allows you to automate slides via MIDI, and a program like Ableton Live.

The first reason was that we switched to Mac, and ProPresenter is wildly popular on the Mac (although they do have a Windows version, too). It is not the only option out there, but we made the switch from MediaShout for two reasons. You’d probably be better off just sticking with PowerPoint, TBH. In my experience open-source stuff is NOT intuitive, and can sometimes lack good support if you get in a jam. Okay, so before I explain our setup, I’d recommend ditching the open-source option. Whatever you pick, you’ll likely have a learning curve to tackle, anyway, so make sure you pick something that works.
You don’t have to do anything I say beyond this point, LOL, but take your time in making this decision. :) Do as much research as you can, before making the choice that works best for you. Thirdly, you did good by coming here and crowd-sourcing solutions. Do what you need to do to make it work within your church’s context (and budget), but this stuff is “worth the price”. when, in truth, you’re just throwing money away. I see SO MUCH bad advice being thrown around, in the name of saving money. You may be on a tight budget, like most other churches, but you have to take a long view of anything you do in the sound/tech arena.
Secondly, since we have that out of the way, DO NOT skimp on tech spending. We know money is a finite resource, so being wise with spending is paramount.

We all deal with it, and anytime you look to the general professional world, they scoff at churches and their tight purse strings. Things don’t move at the same speed, and budgets are dramatically different. They aren't nearly as mature as OpenSong, etc.įirstly, let’s establish out of the gate that the church world is not like the professional world. ** yes, I know that some of the Open Source programs have some of these capabilities. If this is at all an issue, then I highly recommend sticking with the "simple" (open source) programs. The harder part is maintaining a bench of trained volunteers (who care about quality) to build and run the shows. (b) it is harder to use - not impossible - but not "hey, random youth, sit down here and run the show today" easy.įor us, the money is the "easy" part (it's a one-time cost). then you should use ProPresenter, understanding that:
complex sets (timers, speaker notes, automatic loops).

In fact, in my opinion it's better than the paid software solutions - because it is extremely easy to use and train volunteers.īut if you want to do literally anything else**: instant (spontaneous) switching between Verses, Chorus, Bridge.instant (spontaneous) switching between songs.lyrics (and Bible) only but adding two things PowerPoint can't do.If you are only looking for a PowerPoint replacement: The answer to this question heavily depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
