6 Dec 2011ProPresenter 5 New Features
7 Oct 2011
As ProPresenter 5 nears release date there are features new to ProPresenter 5 slowly making a splash in the worship media community. I’m very excited about this new release. We use it our Church on an iMac i7 and works flawlessly. How to get a free upgrade.
Here are some of the new features:
1. Transitions: New slide and text animation. These are not simple animations. The new animations in ProPresenter 5 are like ones you would custom make in After Effects. I’ve seen a short example of how it works on a song and it really did add emotion to the song!
2. Backgrounds Tool: They started a backgrounds tool in ProPresenter 4. Currently the tool allows you to sync up multiple motion loops to match properties like speed and colors. Now in ProPresenter 5 you can add color filters (Sepia as an example) and blur effects.
3. Planning: Tight integration with a well known tool “Planning Center Online”. You can sync up worship schedules and presentation automatically through the online service.
4. Reporting: ProPresenter 5 offers SongSelect CCLI reporting of all songs played and the CCLI number associated. This allows you to keep track of a presentation created which is mandatory from CCLI.
There is plenty more to be released on features before the release date of the software. So stay tuned.
Right now you can get a free upgrade to ProPresenter 5 when released when you purchase ProPresenter 4 today. Also Worship Media Pro includes free motion loops and media with your purchase. You can get more information here. Buy ProPresenter 5

Is there an EasyWorship 2012?
13 Sep 2011I’d imagine there is now some media techs wondering what the next version of EasyWorship will be and most important when will it be released. Well, I’m not entirely sure on the release date. I check often and have signed up as a beta user to get a first look and hands on with the new EasyWorship.

Why 1080p For Motion Loops?
4 Aug 2011Interesting subject has come up at Worship Media Pro from our customers asking us about 1080p HD loops. We just started making our motion backgrounds in 1080p for worship software. The main reason is simple. There are larger screens now in service and projectors that are capable of 1080p projection. If you do not have a 1080p projector but use a 16:9 aspect ratio screen (widescreen) 1080p is still the right solution because with any image or movie when you scale it down “maintaining aspect” you have a richer motion loop.
If you want to get more on different sizes and how to choose look at this post.

Choosing Backgrounds Size & Format
3 Aug 2011Learn how to choose the correct motion backgrounds for your worship software. This information table is extremely helpful in understanding your options.
Choosing Background Sizes
There are two sizes you can choose from when it comes to worship backgrounds. The sizes really are aspect ratios and not pixel dimensions. There are 4:3 and 16:9 ratios. This determines the width and hight of your projector screen and area of coverage. This also determines your worship backgrounds both motion and still. For motion backgrounds we refer to 4:3 as 480p and 16:9 as 720p.
4:3 aspect ratio
This is the original and still widely used screen dimension. With this screen you would want to choose 480p (640×480) for motion backgrounds . Choosing these sizes for 4:3 aspect screens ensures there is no stretching of the video on the screen and it will fill the screen as expected. This motion backgrounds screen size is available in MOV h.264 & WMV formats.
16:9 aspect ratio
This is a very popular screen size today. With a wider screen you have more screen real estate to work with and opens the door to HD movie play back. If you are using motion backgrounds you should use 1080p (1920×1080) or 720p (1280×720) motion clips. Using these sizes will eliminate any image stretching or distortion. This motion background screen size is available in MOV h.264 and WMV formats.
HD Motion Backgrounds are large video files and should only use MOV h.264 encoding or WMV advanced encoding to preserve video quality in playback.

Custom Settings Per Background in EasyWorship from Worship Media Pro on Vimeo.
If you notice the global settings for song lyrics and scripture do not work on all backgrounds. There is a way to override global settings for each background. This is very easy to do and makes life better for anyone creating a schedule.
Here are two other tutorials that complement this one.
1. Global Settings (Songs & Scripture)
2. Adding Media to EasyWorship
