Renewed Vision blog

In the world of live production there is always a battle of how do I share the best version of my content while also ensuring that my presentation works flawlessly. Knowing the best compression and bitrate for your videos can help avoid headaches. We have some best practices we’d like to share with you to make sure things go off without a hitch!

The editor of ProPresenter 7 is more powerful than ever, giving you the flexibility to create and show your content exactly the way you want. To access the editor, we’re going to click on edit from the main toolbar. Now, you can get back to your show at any time by clicking show.

With Looks in ProPresenter 7, you can send different layers or different versions of your slides to all of your screens and change these looks out on the fly using presets.

Scrolling text gives you the ability to scroll any text box in any direction inside ProPresenter. And this text can come from inside the program or an outside source, like a text file or an RSS feed. In this video, we’re going to learn how to implement scrolling text by creating a lower third text scroll for pre-show information, an alert scroll for real time messages, and we’ll learn how to make cinematic text scrolling for song lyrics. Plus we’ll make our teaching notes a little bit more engaging by adding subtle scrolling movement.

With Bibles, you can show scripture on the fly or add it to an existing presentation and in ProPresenter 7, you can now show multiple translations of scripture at the same time.

ProPresenter is more than just visuals. There’s also a powerful audio routing and editing tools for your presentations.

The calendar feature in ProPresenter allows you to schedule the playback of presentations. To schedule a calendar event, let’s go to View and down to Calendar. Currently, you’ll see that there’s no event scheduled. We can add a calendar event by hitting the Add icon. Let’s call this Auto Start. And then below there, you can see the actual schedule for this calendar event. If you wanted to do a one-time event, you would simply just change the day and time to whatever day and time you want to trigger a presentation or playlist to auto start. But if you want to do this on a regular basis, we can choose to repeat.

It is common for a speaker on stage to desire to control their own slide changes. Presentation Remotes or “clickers” can be a great solution for this. There are 3 main options for this: generic and cheap remotes, the production industry standard, and apps which can provide more flexibility and control.

Zoom has become incredibly popular, with many organizations using it for meetings, town halls, worship services, funerals, classroom teaching, and more.
