Renewed Vision blog

Live Streaming has become the focus of attention of many productions. Many rushed to implement their streams or do adapt the live broadcasts to broader audiences online. In the rush to get to the scene, it was easy to just “get it working”. I know what it’s like, sometimes when your boss says something needs to be done, and fast, we don’t always get to make it pretty. So today, let’s work towards making our live streams pretty!

If you’re reading this, you likely have been involved with some sort of big production. Whether it’s a large conference, a big holiday (like Easter), a significant event your organization is putting on, or even being on the road working a concert tour. All these types of events and other similar productions can be exhausting. The time spent planning, implementing, and producing mixed with the physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental labor take a toll on a person, and because of that, it’s important to be intentional about recovery.

There are lots of awesome choices today for playing back music. Whether it’s Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal (does anyone use this?), Pandora (does this still exist), YouTube Music and more! So, we are going to talk about which one is best for playing back music for your live stream – or even any in-person productions! Topics will include: legalities of streaming music, legalities of streaming music from a specific app, and the best app for your workflow.

This past year was full of ups and downs. To make things worse, the end of the year was one of the busiest times for many production and tech people. But you’ve made it.

Do holidays ever feel dull to you? Maybe your decorations need to be brought to life! Brian Korosec from NumberE, a production company based in Atlanta Georgia, decided to do just that.

Well… in January of 2020 no one was guessing we would have many churches meeting entirely online, schools not putting on their annual holiday shows, and corporate events getting canceled. In fact, our last blog post of 2019 was Christmas stage design examples that people could use in 2020!

A question we see asked online pretty often is, “Should our ProPresenter Operator be in our tech booth at front of house (FOH) or in our broadcast room?” I think this question can actually be a tough one to answer. But if we really break down the question, maybe it should be, “How many ProPresenter operators do I need?”

Earlier this week on our ProPresenter Users Group on Facebook, people were asking about the best ways to set up their computer for ProPresenter. So I created a fast list of things they could do to improve their setup. Well, it gained some popularity and some asked for an official post they could share! So here it is.

We built ProPresenter’s Bible engine to make it easy for any volunteer or staff member to use. With ProPresenter 7 you can view multiple translations at once and even compare different languages. While this is perfect for showing multiple languages in multi-lingual church… it’s also perfect if you need to prep for an upcoming message!
