ProPresenter Overview II

In ProPresenter Overview 1 we referenced some great features of ProPresenter. Here are a few more tools ProPresenter will offer you:

Full HD support and beyond

ProPresenter fully supports any resolution right out of the box. At no additional cost, you can playback Standard-Def, all forms of High-Def, as well as ultra-wide resolutions for multi-screen installations (as seen on our home page with David Crowder). NOTE: For higher resolutions of HD content, faster systems may be required; call us to talk about your specific needs.

ProPresenter also supports Quartz Composer documents (called compositions). This is an advanced graphics rendering system that is based on mathmatical computations rather than images. They appear like QuickTime movies, but are FAR smaller in size and can even accomodate external inputs (audio, video, etc.). While not for the faint of heart, you can learn how to create your own from many sites on the web (i.e. MacTech.org).

Text editing and spell check

Editing text is easier than ever before with in-line slide editing. This means you can either go to the slide editor to make changes OR right-click on any slide and edit the text within it directly (eliminating the need to leave Presenter mode). With this also comes spell-checking and a greatly enhanced playlist and library which always remain present for quick program changes. Making global changes to font, size, color, etc. of a whole song or multiple songs is a snap and nearly instant!

Importing & Exporting

Adding songs to your library should be quick and painless, so ProPresenter makes use of two different methods of importing song lyrics fast. You can import text files individually as you always have, or as a batch into ProPresenter 3. The ability to import directly from the clipboard is also still available. Simply look-up the lyrics from any song on the Internet, whether through SongSelect, Google, or any other website. Either download them as text files to import later or select the text of the song in your Internet browser. Switch to ProPresenter and select “Presentation from Clipboard” from the File menu or import from your downloaded text files. Every line of text will automatically be imported as its own slide. In addition, if there are labels in the song for Verse, Chorus, or Bridge, these will automatically be interpreted by ProPresenter as slide labels for easy identification in your presentations. Version 3.0 adds the ability to label one or more slides with a particular color for grouping together common portions of a song (i.e. chorus, bridge, etc.) for easy visual identification. You also have the ability to export songs as well as playlist with similar ease.
