Is there an EasyWorship 2012?

Tony — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 16:09:28 +0000

I’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.

Here is what I do know. EasyWorship will most likely not be called EasyWorship 2012. They are working on a new naming convention to refer to revisions and not year of release. I think this is a great idea. It sounds old when you see EasyWorship 2009 as the latest version. But it is not old at all! It has all the core features as any other worship software on the internet and very user friendly.

There will be an EasyWorship Mac version with the new release. Here is a pricing structure so you can get an idea of what the cost is and upgrade options. http://wmp.me/otCrIN

EasyWorship For Mac

As mentioned in my last post the new EasyWorship will have the ability to run on both platforms Apple Mac OS X and Windows.

The interfaces will be similar to each other and will still incorporate the same flow as the EasyWorship 2009 version. Although there is not much information yet on the new release SoftTouch Development released a screenshot of the new Mac OS X interface. AWESOME!

Worship Motion Loop Sizes & Formats

Common questions around the right motion format or size to use with your worship presentation software come my way weekly. My hope is this brief explanation will help you make the right choices when selecting your motion backgrounds to use.

Get more information on choosing backgrounds here.

Motion Background Sizes
There are two common sizes used for motion loops. These sizes have become the unwritten standard in the worship community.

Widescreen 720p
This is a newer size used in Church projection today. The format is for wider 16:9 projection screens and allows for more horizontal real-estate. This is also the HD format for mini movie clip playback as well. The resolution is 1280×720. A common encoding is MOV format to maintain resolution. However, the new features in WMV allow for 2-pass VBR to deliver high quality Windows native encoding.

Standard 480p
Still popular in Churches around the world and for more years to come. This size is more of a square design 4:3 aspect ratio. The motion video resolution is 640×480. Common encoding for this format is MOV and WMV.

Formats
MOV is native to Mac OS X and H.264 encoding. You can use K-Lite codec for MOV use on Windows operating systems. Used in ProPresenter natively. EasyWorship and MediaShout with K-Lite Codec.
Installation tutorial on installing K-lite codec here.

WMV is native to Windows and with 2-Pass VBR maintains high quality HD video. Used in EasyWorship and MediaShout.

MPEG-1 is an older interoperable encoding but lacks quality and is slowly phasing out.

EasyWorship is a powerful worship presentation application and one of my personal choices in worship software. The navigation is simple and the entire application is easy to use. EasyWorship has done a great job in making this affordable and powerful at the same time.

Key Visual Features

New version provides a broadcast quality output with alpha channeling
Place text in a specific area over live camera feeds*
Use video backgrounds with text overlay. The text is anti-aliased for smoothing.

If you have not acquired all your worship lyrics using other worship software you can use EasyWorship’s SongSelect. All you need to do is subscribe with CCLI and you can integrate SongSelect into EasyWorship pulling your favorite christian worship songs into EasyWorship with copyright information and header tags into your worship songs library.

EasyWorship 2009 is going to be available in the coming months so keep an eye out for this feature rich new media platform that will change worship and worship software forever.

* A side note on text overlaying live camera feeds. This is a great tool for sermons too. You can reference bible verses from EasyWorship’s Bible library and project them on a specific location over live camera feed of the sermon. Nice feature!
