When background loops there is a sudden flashbang

title may sound crazy but check out the video, when the background loops there is a sudden white flashbang and when I went to inspector and replayed the video nothing happened, it was all okay. How does this happen? Could someone help?

Text background color: black — how can I add a little extra space?

Hello from Korea!

I want to make my worship lyrics look like the first image.

I tried to recreate it, but what I made looks like the second image.

They're almost the same, but in the first image, there is a little extra space before and after the lyrics, and I don't know how to make it.

Adding spaces with the space bar doesn't work because ProPresenter doesn't apply the black text background to the spaces.

Is there a way to add this extra space while keeping the black text background?

Thanks in advance!

Companiondeck app for android (beta)

CompanionDeck - an app for controling Bitfocus Companion with your android phone v1.0.2 Beta

No budget for (more) Stream Decks? But you have an Android phone?

I created an app (with some help from AI) that lets you access your Bitfocus Companion interface directly from your phone.

While this is already possible through a browser, I felt it was missing some quality-of-life improvements. So I built a simple web wrapper with extra functionality to make using Companion on a phone feel a bit more like a dedicated controller.

Features:

• Save IP addresses for your Companion installations

• Choose how long your screen stays awake

• Enable vibration feedback when buttons are pressed

• Freely rotate the screen

The app is currently in beta testing and, for now, is only available for Android.

You can try the beta here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paniondeck.grashuisavl

Use the app in production at your own risk!

Feedback is very welcome. Contact me via app@grashuisavl.nl

Tested with Companion 4.3.1, older versions may not work as expected.

ProPresenter Keeps Getting Stuck and not Showing

Hiya all! I will start by saying I am a volunteer at my church and not a professional in the industry. I have been using PP for about five years, so I feel fairly well versed and thought I could figure most things out. I am at my wits end with this most recent issue.

BR: Pretty simple setup. Audience projector and stage projector, each with words at that's it. We have had more fancy things in the past, but our tech team is small, so keeping everything working is too much of a chore to do anything too fancy. I would use PowerPoint or slides, but we have 400+ songs from the past decade of use that I don't want to throw away and start over again.

The Problem: We recently upgraded from 21.3 to 21.4.2. Doing so has broken the presentations. On startup, I can navigate and edit to my heart's desire with no issue. Once I begin to show a presentation, I can click through between 3 to 10 slides before the audience screen will no longer show anything (text or media) and the stage screen freezes on the last slide clicked. I cannot clear the slides and nothing will change on the screens until I close PP.

Sometimes it will happen on one slide and sometimes on a different slide on the same presentation.

Things I have Tried:

+ Restarting the computer

+ Updating drivers

+ Removing all media actions from every slide

+ Deleting every macro

+ Removing all actions and props except the text

+ Creating new presentations

+ Uninstalling and reinstalling PP 21.4.2

+ Uninstalling 21.4.2 and installing 21.3.1

After each one of these things, the same issue keeps happening. 3-10 slides, then freeze.

I come here to ask for more ideas to try. My next steps are backing up the song library, deleting the entire RenewedVision folder and reinstalling, but I'm a little hesitant to do that, since there is so much stuff in PP.

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT:

Stuff I've tried since the initial post:

  • Removed one of the screens and it lasted longer until it froze, like 50 slides. Replicated multiple times.

  • With both screens still going, I changed the screen output from Custom to Full, causing the image to spill off the screen, but it took longer to freeze.

Tutorial: Trigger Vista Lighting Cues From ProPresenter

If you’ve ever wanted to use ProPresenter to trigger your lighting cues in Vista using MIDI, here’s a step-by-step tutorial (no extra hardware required; it's done over network).

This has actually eliminated the need for a lighting volunteer at my church, which frees those people up to serve in other roles on the production team. I haven't actually had to program lights in Vista in years; I'm able to just drive it all with macros from ProPresenter.

Highly recommend this route if you don't have a super complex lighting setup and want to get some time back every week. Hope you find it helpful!

How do you stop audio playing from a stage slide?

Before I send in a bug report to propresenter, I wanted to check with the community here.

For a funeral, I have the image of the deceased person on the audience screen, and I want it to remain on the screen for the whole service. I have a "Stage Screen" (or confidence monitor) slide set up to play a video with audio, for the purpose of not showing the video on the audience screen and leaving the image of the deceased on the audience screen. The video in question was a karaoke version of a song with lyrics that we only wanted the singer to follow.

During testing before the service, I clicked the red "Clear All" button while the video was playing, but to my surprise that did not clear the stage screen slide and the video audio just kept playing, and I could not see an obvious way to stop it.

Am I missing something? I know putting a video on a stage screen slide is not common, cuz most people just use it to see the current and future text of song slides, and of course the clock, so it might just be a development oversight. But I'm very curious why the "Clear All" in fact did not clear all.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Lower thirds for online stream

So, we import sermon slides from a PPT and that’s ok. It works for us. Our senior pastor and other speakers are familiar with PPT so they can build their slides easily. We are not set up to prioritize slides and creation in PP just because of resources.

However, I want to create lower thirds for the stream on occasion for Bible verses, etc. What’s the best way to create these lower thirds for example if a slide has a long verse on it but the lower third would need to be 4 or 5 slides?

I’m not sure the best way to make this work. Thoughts ?

Plugin for audio limiting

Is there a plugin for PP to limit audio levels? We have multiple people doing videos that we import into PP. The audio levels are not consistent with these videos. We change the levels via Inspector but sometimes a video gets missed and levels are way too loud. It would be awesome if there was an output limiter to “xx” db.

Is it possible to trigger a Stream Deck *from* pro presenter?

Hi all, church AV here, just have a question to see if there's an easy solution to our problem.

We have a Stream Deck, and are using the bit focus tie in, and we use the SD to connect with both pro pres and our ATEM switcher, and a handful of other programs/devices, is it possible to use a macro (or other option) *in pro pres* to trigger a button on the streamdeck?

Mainly asking because occasionally we are short staffed, so sometimes our operator needs to not be in the booth, and we are hoping we could at some point use it to trigger changes in ATEM, among other things, without needing to be at the booth and pressing the buttons physically if possible. We can make the macros easily enough, but does the streamdeck have the capacity to be triggered by something from pro presenter?
