VP Sales and Marketing Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better presentations" May 6, 2024 5.0 Pros ProPresenter helps me to present our views more comfortably Cons I do not find any problems while using it at all. Review Source RS Ryan S. Volunteer Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Presentation Software for any Church or similar organization." October 29, 2021 5.0 Overall, it has been a pleasure to use, with very few hiccups, most of which are probably on the hardware end and not the software end. Pros I think the thing I like most about ProPresenter is that it just WORKS. It’s well organized with a clean and easy to learn layout/format. ProPresenter is robust enough for even the most demanding user to accomplish what they want, while easy enough to teach volunteers how to use it very quickly. Cons Every once in a while it is hard to figure out how to work certain features, but that’s honestly not bad considering how vast the software itself is. Review Source MA Mark A. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pros and cons of Propresenter" June 26, 2019 4.0 Except for integration with our main song and roster system and cloud issues, the product is the best presenter system that we have used. Pros For our purposes Integration is everything. Propresenter integrates well with Powerpoint, songselect, and media, to provide a powerful presentation tool. Lyric presentation is easily formatted and styled through customisable templates and editing tools. Developing playlists and display cues helps volunteers to intuitively negotiate the system. Cons While intuitive for operation, there is a large learning curve for editing and setup. Tutorials can be found but sometimes do not cover some of the complex tasks. It does not integrate with Elvanto and that is major for us. Propresenter cloud has provided major problems in maintaining a stable database of songs as multiusers often overwrite and corrupt the data. It is not like google docs! People are downloading and uploading songs and playlists and it rarely works for us. My advice is stay away from the cloud until they Develop a google docs type system. Reason for choosing ProPresenter End user operation Review Source DK David K. A/V Lead Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ProPresenter - Perfect for our small church" February 26, 2021 5.0 Our small church was given an iMac computer and I'd seen ProPresenter in use at a different church and it looked like a great fit for us. We loved the ability to have the "live" display up on the big screen at the front of the church for displaying song words or bible verses; but then having the iMac screen be the entire control panel where we get everything ready for the next thing needed on the big screen... it was all right at our fingertips and we could do it quickly. Pros The full set of features that you can use when you need to or keep it really simple when you need to do so. Cons Typically, can be a real pain to upgrade to a new version. We used a rented facility so only had access to the computer twice a week, and didn't have much time to do the update, which typically took awhile.... The only other thing is that switching text to a new font or look is daunting as I recall. Reason for choosing ProPresenter Even though it cost more, it allowed the user to seamlessly move from songs to bible to photos or videos to whatever we needed simply and quickly (quickly is the key point because the pastor doesn't like to wait for the A/V guy!) Review Source Carson C. Graphic Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's time for your church to start using ProPresenter! " January 1, 2019 4.0 I've been using ProPresenter for years and feel like I've watched it grow. I worked at a brand new church where we ran slides and lyrics on two TVs and now I'm on staff at a church that runs multiple screens with IMAG and ProPresenter is behind all of it! Pros ProPresenter always makes displaying media, whether to one screen or multiple screens super simple. I love being able to import Powerpoint files directly into ProPresenter. It's such a HUGE time saver, saving you the headache of having to type everything out again. Cons Just like any software, occasional glitches happen and always seem to happen at the worst time. There is really nothing you can do about this in the moment except to close it down and restart. Review Source GC Greg C. Music & Arts Exec Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PrePresenter is hands down the best presentation software on the market" July 5, 2019 5.0 ProPresenter is used in all of bigger class rooms on two campuses. In our main auditoriums ProPresenter drives all the main screens and a confidence monitor. Pros The thing I like most is the ease of use. It is so easy to show a volunteer how to use the software in a moments notice. Second, the feature set is awesome. Using the modules give a lot of flexibility and control. Our team uses the midi module all the time for cueing external equipment and cueing propresenter. I can not say enough about this software. Cons Overall there are not many con's to this software. If I have a con it would be one regarding the midi module. It's pretty basic as far as the midi messages that can be sent and received. I would like a little more ability here. Alternatives considered [MediaShout](https://www.capterra.com/p/140318/MediaShout/) Reason for choosing ProPresenter Again.. Feature set, Ease of Use, Made for Mac, and Stability.

July 5, 2019 5.0 It's​ an awesome tool it has made information​ delivery to our congregants and song​ lyrics a wonder. I also love the stage monitor experience as well. Pros The ease of its usability. It's​ so easy to use that I have been able to teach my entire media team to use it. Cons The importing of DVD's and it does not support every file type for video playback. Review Source Ryan B. Administrator Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ProPresenter at Harvest" June 26, 2019 4.0 Our church uses ProPresenter for worship lyrics, videos, and sermon slides. We had some issues with playback performance (we're edge blending some projectors), but besides that it's been great. Pros A lot of options and configuration. Support for a lot of video codecs. Cons Some aspect could be easier to use. I wish the stage display could be customized further. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ProPresenter is a must!" June 26, 2019 5.0 I initially implemented and launched ProPresenter with Destination Church in Blackshear Georgia. It was perfect as our solution and has grown with us perfectly. Pros I love the flexibility and ease of use of ProPresenter. It makes things like projection mapping a breeze! Cons The cost is a bit high for smaller organizations, but it’s well worth the investment. Alternatives considered [EasyWorship](https://www.capterra.com/p/101489/EasyWorship/) Reason for choosing ProPresenter ProPresenter has the ease of use (for volunteers) and flexibility (for professionals) that we needed as well as the scalability. Review Source PP Phil P. AV Ministry Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great on the Mac/My Windows experience wasn't as good" July 4, 2019 4.0 Church lyrics and scriptures, primarily, with occasional video, and occasionally a video feed from the camera. Noteworthy - We have the ability using a WireCast utility to feed the ProPresenter display to our streaming computer, which isn't a function of ProPresenter, but a nice way to integrate what is seen on ProPresenter with our live stream. Pros Functionality overall is very high, with many advanced features. Stage monitor options are very strong, being able to customize it differently than the main screens. Ability to take the video camera feed is very good, as well. Integration with CCLI lyrics also is a strength, as well as ability to customize backgrounds. Cons We started on the Windows version, and at that time (2+ yrs ago), we found that the Windows version was buggy, and didn't always follow accepted windows programming standards for handling errors and reporting. We switched over to an iMac running the Mac OS version, and have found it to be much more stable, and we rarely have issues. Being able to display a youtube link directly is desirable, but I don't believe that is available. Review Source GL Greg L. Worship/Media Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Tool for Churches (and Schools)" July 4, 2019 5.0 Pros We liked the ease of use of the software and the ability to train volunteers on how to use/navigate ProPresenter. The features beyond the software on the computer was great (ie - the mobile features - Stage Display on iOS). The integration into CCLI makes adding new songs to playlists simple. Cons No concerns with the software. Anytime we have had a "glitch" or need to know how to complete a task, Support from ProPresenter was been fantastic (and quick replies). Switched from [MediaShout](https://www.capterra.com/p/140318/MediaShout/) We made the switch to ProPresenter due to the all of the conversions (and extra work) that we needed to complete to bring many of our files over. For example: many of the video files were MOV, M4V, MP4 file formats and we were needing to convert many of our videos to a different format to get it to play through the other system. Review Source JP Jeovanny P. Administrative Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There's always room for improvement" June 27, 2019 4.0 ProPresenter allows us to project our presentation every Sunday and during the week. It allows for an easy transition of playlists and files without having to quit the application. The benefits are that it is a reliable software that automatically saves our files, we don't have to worry about missing files or the program crashing on us. Pros I love the easiness of the software. It is very intuitive and does not need long hours of training to take advantage of everything that Propresenter can do. I love that I can just drag my pictures and create my own playlist very quick. Cons The only disadvantage I found is when we have videos with optional captions and pro presenter does not have the capacity to open those optional captions so that they would project on the screen. Review Source PA Patty A. Pastor's wife, lead musician Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wish I could use it again" March 5, 2023 5.0 This was a great program. The people wanting to help with projection are limited with cognitive capacity. So it was a bit messy to get a smooth flow of songs. Pros This was a nice program to use for church media needs Cons I think the internet/wifi must be used each time for projection. We are a rural church without a modem or strong hotspot accessibility. Reason for choosing ProPresenter It was suggested to me from other lead worship \[sensitive content hidden\] Review Source RL Ronnie L. Worship Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A MUST for your church and event production" July 8, 2019 5.0 We wouldn't trust any other program to manage displays for our multiple services and spaces. Pros We love how user friendly and intuitive this software is. Pro Presenter 6 runs our services across our facility and it works flawlessly. We are also grateful that this company keeps innovating for this software. Cons There's not much that doesn't feel intuitive. Sometimes one of our computer lags when it runs the program in one of our rooms but that is more due to the RAM the software pulls from the computer for use. Reason for choosing ProPresenter This is the most widely used application across church production. Renewed Vision is a staple name in the industry and have put in the work to ensure they remain at the top! Review Source Waldo M. Director of Media Services Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pro Presenter - Presentation Software for pro's & novices" December 21, 2022 5.0 Overall our experience has been positive. For most functions the software is intuitive and once mastered easy to use. The built-in functions, such as integrations with other third-party software, is seamless. Pros This software was very easy to integrate into our established workflow, and made our overall production more consumer friendly. Cons At the present time there are no real negatives, other than the fact that novices will need some initial training to master the finer functionality given. Review Source GT Gilbert T. Lead Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "9+ Years!" July 6, 2019 5.0 We've now been using ProPresenter for 9+ years. From a technical standpoint the software runs super smooth. I often tell our tech guys that they are like umpires or referees...no one tends to notice you unless something messes up. ProPresenter makes errors a lot less common through not only the smoothness of the software but also in allowing some of the tasks to be automatically performed through MIDI control. Pros Easy to use and understand for volunteers to operate during our Worship Experiences. Cons Couple of minor things that aren't intuitive when setting up to run a show. Switched from [SongShow Plus](https://www.capterra.com/p/140322/SongShow-Plus/) We had used SongShow for many years but when we planted a new church in 2010 we wanted Apple computers so it made sense to switch over to ProPresenter. I was a bit leery at first since I had ease with SSP but looking back, this was a great decision. ProPresenter has way more features and is easier to operate. Review Source CJ Chirag J. Information Technology Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing presentation tool" October 27, 2023 5.0 Pros ProPresenter helps create fantastic slides for presentation. Cons There is absolutely nothing that I dislike about ProPresenter. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Pastor Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the greatest presentation softwares" September 26, 2019 5.0 ease of use and creative control! I can display and do exactly what I need to do and able to be as creative as I can be Pros So, I love the software and I think that it does what it is supposed to do well. It is professional presentation software, so there is a slight learning curve. But...they do well to give you training's as well as man training's online. Here is the BEST thing about the software...I use it ALL wirelessly. I use a stage display (connected to an old iPhone) and I control the presentation from an iPad. Everything connects simply and seamlessly. Cons The only cons, if I had any, would really just be some of the learning curves. Trying to get the screen to be fully displayed on the TV's and uploading to the cloud are a little difficult, but don't let difficulty prevent you from using this great software Switched from [Proclaim by Logos](https://www.capterra.com/p/265496/Proclaim/) Initially, just wanted to check it out Review Source NP Nathan P. Technical Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Church Presentation" March 16, 2023 5.0 Great for church presentations and live streaming Pros Great design and presentation features for our church services Cons Pricey, steep learning curve for volunteers Review Source AD Andrew D. Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential software for our ministry" June 28, 2019 5.0 We have found ProPresenter to be exactly the tool that we need. It is powerful, but also simple enough that it can be used by almost anyone after a short training session. The ease of adding songs and integrating media makes a ministry which involves frequent new music and highly creative visuals possible. Pros There are many useful features in the software, but the ones that we benefit the most from are: - importing directly from SongSelect online - control screen interface allows for intelligent movement between parts of song and presentations - ease of integrating media - screen templates are easy to use. Once created, they make adding new slides very easy (along with SongSelect import) - ease of adding messages and timers - ability to sync libraries between computers Cons The software is not intuitively understandable for new uses, in many cases. This means that training needs to be provided for people before they can begin to run ProPresenter. Some previous versions were a bit buggy and would crash on our computers (all fairly recently purchased), but recent versions have been stable. Review Source RT Rodney T. Video Playback Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Thoughts on ProPresenter" July 1, 2019 5.0 Overall it has been great. I can have someone with little to no experience in video production sit down and begin working in five minutes. Pros I like that you can playback video without any having to use specific codec settings. Cons I really dislike not having a preview and program function that can operate independently​. It is impossible to make significant​ changes to slides or playlists while currently playing back live in production. A second big issue is how slow the cloud back up and sync for this product works. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) We needed a better way to playback video clips with no disruption of service on the screen. Switching between programs to show still slides and then to a stable software to play video clips was always jarring and clunky. ProPresenter allows us to show slides and playback video in real time seamlessly​. Review Source CK Cory K. Worship Pastor / Production Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wouldn't want to use any other program!" June 27, 2019 5.0 I LOVE ProPresenter. It gets better and better. Our teams LOVE to use it. I find it pretty easy to train volunteers, and love the ability to use the ProRemote to control it anywhere where our wireless LAN reaches. Pros The flexibility and intuitive nature of how functions work Cons There are occasional glitches in the EDIT SLIDE portion of the program. For example, placing a text box and then copying and pasting that slide only to find intermittent shift of the respective text boxes in the copied slides. Never anything I can't overcome, but definitely glitchy on occasion. I also wish that there was a "Copy Attributes" function for any given slide. For instance, if I have manipulated the color of a background, and added a stage display preset, I'd love to be able to paste those attributes to another slide (rather than merely copy and paste the slide). This is most important when I've chosen to manipulate a background and would like to copy that manipulated background to different slide groupings in a song without having to manually recreate the edits for each instance.

Tech Lead Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ProPresenter Wins" June 26, 2019 4.0 ProPresenter has made our lyric and video presentation far better than it was before we used it. Pros ProPresenter just works. It far surpasses other presentation software. Cons Has some intricacies that you really have to learn, but it’s worth diving into. Alternatives considered [MediaShout](https://www.capterra.com/p/140318/MediaShout/) Reason for choosing ProPresenter Better workflow and features.

Family Life Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Five Rivers Church Review" June 27, 2019 4.0 Overall, it certainly makes projecting on Sundays easier, but there is certainly room for improvement. Pros \-It does not often change, so we do not have to train our volunteers on it regularly -It links with Planning Center Online -Files can be changed while they are being projected Cons \-Our program does not always save what we upload ahead of time, so, some weeks, I have to re-do what I had already done on Thursday. -I liked that ProPresenter 5 allowed us to have multiple applications running at the same time with one license, rather than have to buy multiple licenses. Licenses are expensive for a church, and it is hard to justify purchasing another one when we can make something like Keynote or ProPresenter work, but ProPresenter would definitely be the preference. -Our ProPresenter is incredibly slow and takes about 6 minutes some weeks to boot up, and it is not uncommon for it to freeze; however, we have discovered that since we converted PCO plans to "Non-PCO" plans once they were uploaded, this issues seems to have mostly resolved. Review Source AS Aloysius S. Media Head Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Solution for Worship" June 27, 2019 4.0 We are using this in our main and youth worship services. It is great and very easy to use and allows us to be creative in superimposing bible verses over live video. We use this together with a video mixer. Very easy for new users to pick up and very intuitive user interface Pros Comprehensive features - Bibles, Songs, Media, Web, Stage View, Mobile, Alerts Ease of use Site licensing Cons Hangs once in a while Too big a media library causes issues Can't import web bibles Alternatives considered [MediaShout](https://www.capterra.com/p/140318/MediaShout/) Reason for choosing ProPresenter For the features and ease of use and reviews Switched from [OpenLP](https://www.capterra.com/p/170167/OpenLP/) We were looking for a solution that supported video backgrounds, stage views and alerts and that provides an easy way to manage media libraries and templates Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Church Presentation](https://www.capterra.com/church-presentation-software/)[Worship](https://www.capterra.com/worship-software/)[Presentation](https://www.capterra.com/presentation-software/)
