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

Choosing Backgrounds Size & Format

Tony — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 17:24:30 +0000

Learn 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.

EasyWorship For Mac

Tony — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 16:49:25 +0000

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!

New EasyWorship 2011 Update

Tony — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 22:42:30 +0000

There is some very recent news on the new EasyWorship software. Not sure if it will be named EasyWorship 2011 because SoftTouch Inc is doing a survey to find another name. I like EasyWorship 2 personally. The new features are not clear yet but it will be a multi platform product. This will work on both Apple Mac OS X and Windows systems. What a great idea given most larger Churches have several ministries and some ministries might use Windows while the main sanctuary would use Apple Macs.

Here is the most recent information from SoftTouch Inc.

Pricing Structure
1) A new EasyWorship purchase – $399.00
2) An upgrade from version 2007 or earlier – $149.00
3) An upgrade from version 2009 – $49.00
4) An upgrade from a competitive product – $249.00

Site License
When you purchase the new EasyWorship (when released) you will get a site license automatically. This means you can use the Mac OS X and Windows version on all your PCs/Macs in the Church. WOW! This is the only software developer that offers this great deal!

Where to get EasyWorship
You can purchase EasyWorship discounted from Worship Media Pro. They offer FREE backgrounds with purchase. The background collection is a $200 value and it is free with your discounted EasyWorship purchase. Click to get details.

EasyWorship 2011 Release?

Tony — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 20:27:49 +0000

Following the message boards and EasyWorship’s forum it is still undetermined when they will release their next revision. There is also going to be an additional platform supported in this release. EasyWorship will soon run on Mac OS X and maintain the same look and feel as the Windows version. Renewed Vision has accomplished this same multi platform ProPresenter release while maintaining look and feel.

Currently EasyWorship is solid and full of features. Don’t let the (2009) discourage you. This is an up to date powerful worship presentation software. To get a great deal and free worship motion backgrounds visit Worship Media Pro’s EasyWorship product page.
