ProPresenter Macros

[@TonySammond]

This is about to be sooooo helpful. I’m tired of adding 8,000 actions to every service

[@johnpaulporrelli6208]

just upgraded to 7 this week. still wrapping my head around the new features. some i like, some i miss from 6 that seem to be taken away or at least under a different name and i can't find them anymore. looking forward to the challenge

[@bicher6914]

Awesome! After one year with Proclaim, we've decided is time to move to ProPresenter. All of you guys still on the fence about ProPresenter or Proclaim, I have to say that you should carefully consider what is the level of tech savviness you have on your team. Proclaim is powerful and easier (especially if you still use PowerPoint) and ProPresenter is a fighter jet in terms of features, but requires a good pilot.

[@bossssie1]

We also use Proclaim and I have looked at ProPresenter in the past, but for us Proclaim is much easier with cloud sync. We have multiple people that make the presentations each week on there own PC. ProPresenter seems a bit lacking in this part.

[@bicher6914]

@@bossssie1 Agreed, but we fixed that using OneDrive and SharePoint or Google Drive, Dropbox etc. for that matter. The point is, you create a synced folder where all you volunteers can sync to, and then point the Support Files link insider ProPresenter's Advanced settings to that folder. Now everything and everybody will use the same ProPresenter version.

[@WiliamShattner]

We just switched to pro presenter from proclaim. Liked proclaim but the yearly license gets expensive. Good tip on the shared folder.

[@jamesmaltese]

I love the macros, my biggest issue is not really an issue, but this definitely makes easier for volunteers to build presentations. It also stop them from learning the techniques used in these macros. Just gotta make sure we train them on what’s actually happening, so things can be fixed if there is an issue. (Speaking to myself here ) 😁 great video

[@guitar8617]

Been using macros to organize Looks and changes in stage displays for a couple weeks at this point. It's been super helpful and actually saved me quite a bit of time already.

[@demikoo]

I'm pretty sure macros were designed for all of the different looks and stage display setups required to make it through one service. Definite time saver!!

[@drummerboy101286]

Thanks for the information Jake. Question what lighting program are you using

[@SilverPaladin]

Macros are the best. They save so much time!

[@matthijsfidom6938]

Thank you Jake for another great tutorial video, macro's makes thinks a lot easier for example changing to right look at the right moment in service, I hope in future to automate more thinks with Pro Presenter such as lightning etc. Looking forward to more great tutorial video's from you and your team

[@jeffpicken5057]

Still trying to wrap my head around this for our main use case. I understand the basic concept. Our use case for songs: outputs for in-house audience view, lower thirds NDI stream to livestream PC and separate full screen NDI to livestream PC. On the title slide for the song we want both outputs to be the same, so I queue the audience look and the full screen livestream look with a full screen background and text on top. For all the lyrics slides I keep the audience look, which keeps the background with lyric text centered for in-house, and then turn off the full screen livestream look and turn on the lower thirds livestream look, which shows text over a faded background on the bottom over the top of a green screen. The video mixer then superimposes live camera shots of the praise team over the green screen that is sent to the livestream PC. So, if I understand the macros correctly, I have to set up a ‘title slide’ macro to drop on the first slide and a separate ‘lyric slide’ macro for the second slide and associate the appropriate looks/actions. I can’t do this with one macro dropped on the first slide. I have to set up the themes for the looks separate from all of the above, which is probably appropriate. Do I have this correct?

MACROS = A Tech guy's Paradise!!!!!! Love Macros!!!!! one button with a bunch of commands to rule them all lol

[@wilcandou]

You guys are awesome! Very helpful.

[@alishamatheus1881]

hey jake the new update of ProPresenter on Pc now also supports automation

[@seancca]

Bome MIDI Network man. Rock solid network midi connections!

[@nicko5566]

I'm using macros to eliminate any repetitive / duplication of steps used within a presentation. I would like to see a new action added that would "Start Capture" so going live is a click of a slide away. Macro organization would be a nice to have feature. Having a macro folder to help declutter the UI would be helpful. Lastly, search functionality within macros would be nice. Being able to search on macro name or embedded actions would be a nice bonus.

[@dmcreativedesign3236]

Hey! What keyboard are you using? And display?

[@Brian.A.Guzman]

Can you do a comparison between Proclaim and Propresenter????

[@楊斯翰]

I want to know how you operate the two propresenters in the video from 8:40 to 10:15. My church is also going to automate the process. I am very curious about the operations in the video and look forward to your response.

[@anuraggracian2750]

Hi Jake. Thank you for this video. Quick question. Are you sending midi cues to lightkey that’s installed on a different computer?

[@brandonjarmanofficial]

Didn't even know this was a feature! Love it. Do you maybe have a video tutorial on how to connect a lighting app to ProPresenter? I'd love to be able to change our lighting in one app instead of having to switch apps each time.

[@bicher6914]

MIDI

[@brandonjarmanofficial]

@@bicher6914 How do you do midi, though? And what's the midi connected to?

[@bicher6914]

@@brandonjarmanofficial you can connect them through Bome Network app if between different computers, or loopback midi on Windows or IAC midi on Mac. Jake has one tutorial on how to control Lightkey from Ableton.

[@chriswofford]

Could you do a video showing how to set up the midi commands from one computer running Pro to another computer running Pro like you have for the center screen image?

[@ColinBishopCB]

Just use the multiscreen feature of propresentwr instead?

[@chriswofford]

@@ColinBishopCB Are you talking about sending different Looks to different screens? We do that but I've run out of USB-C outputs on our Mac that runs Pro. We currently send out one look to the house and a different one to the stream. I'd like to send a different look to our stage screen as well.

[@ChapelTulsa]

Do you have a video that shows setting up the MIDI control to control ProPresenter for the center screen?

[@thomasjclay]

What projectors do you use for your center screen?

[@danielkristioutomo1344]

Hi, may i know how to make the inperson view and livestream view different from propresenter? thanks

[@TerenceKearns]

Have a "look" for online and another for "livestream". There are a few tutorials on YT which do that. I assume you have figured it out by now, but in case anyone else is reading these comments, thats how it's done. That was the first thing I had to figure out when first learning PP.

[@ilosngolo4930]

Excellent

[@iamadz1]

What is the minimum recommended laptop/CPU spec to run Presentation and Live Stream via ProPresenter?

[@centkeys4077]

Hey, I have an epson projector that will not projector slides in full-screen mode. It projects to screen but will not go full screen with chosen slide.

[@bryanskinner]

I know this was years ago but you guess what coming soon to pro7 XD

[@henryrogers3591]

Hello, thanks for the lectures. Please how do I stream live service? What do I need to make it possible? We are just a little congregation, believing God for expansion. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. God bless you brother.

[@lyndonramnanansingh139]

Hi has a video on this channel for the stuff u need to start live streaming

[@henryrogers3591]

Thanks

[@henryrogers3591]

How do I get started?

[@micahwagoner6114]

There are a ton of resources online, so start looking! Here's a head start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4WupH-Hjsaaj6M kzbin.info/aero/PLe4bthtHfNXG3yw-xNHix6eOef_FCoxoy

[@TerenceKearns]

Personally, I plug my ATEM Mini Pro Iso into my mac via USB and then I add it as a camera input source. I have a separate "look" for the livestream playout vs the in-house playout. I disable the background (video input) for in-house and enable the media layer. I disable the media layer and enable the video input for the livestream. I make a macro to use at the begining of each presentation which clears all the other layers before proceeding with different overlays. There's no simple way to do this, but it's worth the effort to learn. I chose PP7 to be my livestream graphics software of choice. My main livestream target is a Syphon stream which is picked up by OBS running on the same machine. OBS takes care of streaming because it's much more flexible that PP7. It also has a fallback scene in case PP7 crashes. That way the livestream is kept alive.

[@lbjfilms6329]

How do I connect my lightkey computer to my propresenter computer so I can do this? The lightkey computer is an iMac and the propresenter computer is a M1 Mac Mini.

[@JohnKagu]

just noticed you have a multiviewer how do I activate that?

[@RenewedVisionLLC]

Check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXe3f3yNf9B-jqs

[@jeffpicken5057]

We set that up, too. Can’t recall what YT visited got it from, but set up four screens in one view: main audience, lower thirds NDI stream to livestream PC, announcements and stage display.

[@renod42]

I’d love to see propresenter support OSC and not have to touch midi again!

[@TerenceKearns]

If you wanna do that, then get companion and rig it up to control PP7 and whatever else you want to control. I'm sure companion has an OSC module.
