How you insert lyrics in MediaShout 6. 3 Things Your Church Video Announcements Should Include Each Week - Duration: 7:05. Pro Church Tools with Brady Shearer 94,156 views. Jan 04, 2016. Now that MediaShout 7 is out, the updates will be few for MediaShout 6- only on an as needed basis. But we will continue rolling out new features for Version 7. One cool difference though is with the new MediaShout 7, we are going to be able to simply release new PLUGINS instead of updates to the entire program, once the framework is satisfactory.

Lyrics Lyric Library Bibles Elements Text Objects The License Manager allows MediaShout 6 to be activated on your computer. You are allowed to activate MediaShout on up to three (3) computers at a time. You can activate the software on additional computers by purchasing a site license or by deactivating the license for one of the other installations.
If your copy of MediaShout is unlicensed, the License Manager appears every time you open the program. You can also access License Manager at any time by clicking the Info button located at the top right corner of the Control Screen.
Evaluating MediaShout 6
You may evaluate MediaShout 6 for 30 days before activating a license.
To use the MediaShout 6 evaluation version, open MediaShout then click Start Trial. Fill out the Trial Sign Up form completely, click Start Trial and then click OK.
While you are in the free trial period, License Manager will appear each time you open the program. The number of days left in the evaluation period are clearly displayed. Click Continue to open MediaShout without activating a license.
Access to Bible translations is limited in the evaluation version. To access additional versions, you must purchase and activate a license code.
Activating a license
To activate MediaShout, you need the license code that was issued when you purchased the software. The license code is listed in the email that was sent at time of purchase and in your MediaShout online account. If you purchased the disk or a complete computer system, the license code is on the MediaShout disk.
You can either activate your software online (recommended) or offline if the computer is not connected to the internet.
To activate, open License Manager:
- Open MediaShout.
- Click Activate MediaShout 6 then follow one of the activation methods below:
Online Activation
Online activation is the fastest and easiest way to activate your copy of MediaShout. All you need is the 18-digit license code you received when you bought your software.
- In the Online Activation screen, type or copy and paste your license code into the box.
- Wait for the code to validate then click Next.
- Fill out the registration form completely then click Activate.
- Click OK to exit License Manager. MediaShout 6 will open.
Offline Activation
If the computer is not connected to the internet, you can still activate MediaShout by following the steps below. Note: Offline activation is not available if your computer is connected to the internet.
- In the Online Activation screen, click Offline Activation.
- Follow the steps to copy the activation key to a Text Document.
- Take the activation key to another computer connected to the internet and go to the webpage listed and it will generate an unlock key. Place that key back into the original computer to unlock it.
Upgrading Licenses
If you are upgrading from MediaShout 5.x, License Manager verifies that you are eligible for this upgrade by checking for a Version 5.x license code. If it cannot find one, you will be prompted to enter it manually. You can find the Version 5.x license code on the label inside your disk case, online in your MediaShout user account, or in the email you received when you ordered MediaShout 5. The license code (license number) can also be found in MediaShout 5.x under Tools > License Manager.
Important: This verification occurs after product activation, so even if you have successfully activated the installation, the program will not run if it was activated with an upgrade license code but without a Version 5 license code.
If you are upgrading from MediaShout 5.x and purchased a site license, the license will automatically transfer to MediaShout 6.
Deactivating a license
You can deactivate a license on any computer that has an active internet connection. You cannot use MediaShout 6 on a computer after the license has been deactivated. You must either purchase an additional license or reactivate the original license.
Do the following to deactivate a license:
- Click the Info button located at the top right corner of the Control Screen.
- In the About MediaShout window, click Deactivate.
- Click Yes. The program will deactivate and close.
After deactivation, you can either uninstall MediaShout or leave it installed so you can reactivate it at a later time.
Troubleshooting
License Code does not work
- Verify you are entering the license code for MediaShout 6, not a previous version.
- Make sure you entered the code correctly; copy and paste the code for best results. Do not add extra spaces.

Power can sometimes come with a cost. This even applies to worship software. ProPresenter, for example, is a very powerful tool but it is not simple to master. Learning how to use this tool to run a presentation can happen in a few minutes, but mastery takes longer.
Here are seven common mistakes to avoid when using ProPresenter:
1) Editing Individual Slides Instead of Making Templates
Changing the look of slides might seem like a pretty cumbersome process if they had to be edited one at a time. A better way would be to create a template. This makes the process MUCH faster.
First, to edit a slide, right-click on it and select “Edit slide” (or using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl-E”) to make it look the way that you want all your slides to look. Then, exit the editor by clicking the “X” in the upper left-hand corner of the editor (or hitting “Ctrl-E” again).
Next, right-click on the slide you just edited and scroll down to “Template” and choose “Save selected slide(s) as Template Group.” Then, name the new template something that’s both memorable and makes sense. Click “Save” and the template is created.
Once the template is created, select any of the slides in that document, hit “Cmd-A” ( or “Ctrl-A” on Windows) to select all the slides. Then right-click on one slide and select “Templates,” then select the template you just created. That’s it.
One note, this process only affects the slide layer, so you need to add backgrounds separately.

2) Not Using Stage Display
Do your worship leaders sometimes forget words or get lost in a song? Maybe you have a pastor who is notorious for going over time (despite being the person who set the time limit) or who accidentally omits an important message during the announcements. ProPresenter’s Stage Display can help.
This feature lets you have a dedicated display with its own simplified layout, showing people leading the room information they need. This can be the next line of the song that’s being sung before the congregation can see it, a countdown clock for the duration of the sermon or even messages to tell the pastor to wrap it up or other notes.
Stage Display is included with the basic license for ProPresenter but requires a dedicated video output (see below).
Once it is wired into a display (like a TV on the front row of seats or a projector shooting onto the back wall), it is simply a matter of clicking the “Enable Stage Display” checkbox in ProPresenter Preferences under Display, after you’ve dragged the purple box that says “SD” to the box representing that display.
You can also create different configurations and switch between them here or automate switching between configurations by adding a stage display cue on a particular slide (like the first slide of the sermon notes, etc.) in [amazon_textlink asin=’B00ZDFFNRM’ text=’ProPresenter 6′ template=’ProductLink’ store=’churc0da-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’84544da6-74da-11e8-ae35-0d6e8f046c05′].
3) Using a Matrox TH2Go or DH2Go as an Output for Stage Display
Many people think that you can use one of the additional display outputs created by a [amazon_textlink asin=’B004FPTQTM’ text=’Matrox TripleHead2Go’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’churc0da-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’b29e1c60-74e1-11e8-8b91-cf61b5e88f2a’] or [amazon_textlink asin=’B0080K6WIG’ text=’DualHead2Go’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’churc0da-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’a16a7043-74da-11e8-a79d-a32236fc3c22′] for stage display. You cannot. ProPresenter requires a dedicated display.
In the system preferences on Macs, for example, the computer needs to see three display outputs. One could be the built-in display, like in a laptop or an iMac, but the other two have to be dedicated external displays.
Some computers cannot output three display signals, so additional hardware would be needed to ensure you would have three total.

4) Updating the OS Before ProPresenter is Ready
Apple has been routinely releasing new versions of [amazon_textlink asin=’1786461692′ text=’MacOS’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’churc0da-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’e2a8b1c2-74e1-11e8-8d90-6bc455a1cda5′] every year. That’s good, except when it causes problems. Developers need time to test the new OS and make changes to their software to make sure everything works as expected.
[amazon_textlink asin=’B00ZDFFNRM’ text=’ProPresenter’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’churc0da-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’b82d9e69-74da-11e8-be85-d36720ad2c0b’] is no different. While the first beta versions come out in June, it is not until the actual release that you can be sure that the changes you are making will actually fix what you expect them to fix. Large companies, like Microsoft, do not always have compatible versions of their software the day Apple releases a new version, so it is little surprise that Renewed Vision doesn’t either.
So, don’t get anxious. Wait until you get the green light from Renewed Vision to update your MacOS. Cara membobol wifi dengan cmd.
5) Updating Either ProPresenter or the OS Right Before Church
Anytime updates are made there might be problems. Other hardware attached to computers or other things could affect systems or software in ways developers do not anticipate. Therefore, it is better to make updates when there is considerable time to fix any problems that might pop up.
Good times to make updates would be AFTER the last weekend service, not before. Then, if there are problems, you can figure it out yourself, look for help in one of the online communities or even talk to Renewed Vision tech support during business hours on Monday.
It is also a good practice to run through a couple of old playlists after updates are made to catch any problems that may not be immediately obvious.
6) Insisting on Using PowerPoint
For various reasons, some staff members may still insist on making their own presentations with PowerPoint templates. These templates can have random and dated animations, which could make it harder for the team who is already using ProPresenter.
Vortex how to change load order. The good news is that ProPresenter can bring the text from PowerPoint into a presentation or imports stills of the slides. However, some may still insist that the dated look of PowerPoint is better. For the sake of visual consistency, it is better to encourage all team members to either learn ProPresenter or let another team member design the slides in ProPresenter for them.
7) Putting Too Much Text on the Screen
This is not a mistake with ProPresenter per se, but with all presentation software. Just because something is legible on a screen that is a foot or two away from the operator does not mean that it will be legible for people across the room from a projector screen or other display.
A better practice is to keep lyrics to no more than five or six lines and scripture to no more than eight lines at a time on screen. Less text on the screen tends to be better, as long as the operator can keep up with the flow.
These are just a few of the mistakes to avoid when using ProPresenter that can help improve the quality and effectiveness of creating and running church presentations. Learning how to make these improvements can lead your team toward mastering ProPresenter functionality and making this powerful tool more simple to use.
