New Feature: Visual Copy
What does it do?
Visual Copy allows you to create elegant, share-worthy slides in seconds. Right click a text, image, or quote, and instantly convert it into an image for stunning presentations and inspirational social-media posts.
How does it help?
Come across an interesting infographic, verse, or quote? With a click, add it to your next sermon to engage your congregation. You can also customize your favorite quotes and verses with colorful templates. No more late Saturday nights working on your presentation—now you can craft your presentations while studying.

We're working out some server hiccups with the heavy load this morning; please bear with us, someone will respond to this thread once the issues have settled down. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Custom backgrounds has definitely been discussed for a future version, but not in 6.0. Thanks!

I suggested something similar during the Beta cycle. Logos indicated then as Eli has indicated in this thread that it is something they have discussed for a future release.
Keep in mind that if you copy or export you are exporting an image. You can customize that image based on the limitations of whatever image editor you may be using.

Does Visual Copy "send to" Keynote?
0 -
It does not support send to Keynote at this time. There is a copy button that could be used to copy and paste into Keynote.

Keynote is not one of the options. I'm not familiar with it in particular - but You can send it to Proclaim or Powerpoint, you can also save it as a graphic on your desktop, or COPY it to your clipboard. I presume from there you could do anything.

Thank you for the quick responses!
So does "send to" essentially simplify copy and pasting? Or does it add some formatting specific to the targeted presentation software?

I think it just speeds up the copy paste. I've not really noticed anything fancy happening in powerpoint with it.

Sending to PowerPoint and copying to the Clipboard essentially exports a single image with the embedded text. Images sent to Proclaim include the background image along with the text field(s) information. This allows Proclaim users to further style the text, change the margins, edit the text, etc.

Awesome! Thanks for answering my question.
Not a big deal, but I hope Keynote is integrated into Visual Copy sometime. I love Keynote and have been using it for years. I look forward to using Visual Copy when I upgrade to Logos 6.

I don't understand why Keynote isn't an option. In Logos 5, you could export pictures and media to Keynote. Now, with Logos 6, the only options are PowerPoint and Proclaim. Is Keynote going to be restored as an option?

This is wonderful! Anyway or suggestion as to how to save directly in Logos or do they all need to be exported out?

There is no way to save the image directly to Logos. You can save it to your hard drive and move it to wherever you want after that. If I may ask, what were you wanting to do with the images? Were you wanting to curate a collection of slides for future use?

I run across and store many good quotes. Only a few are "slide-worthy" for a Sunday morning. I was just curious if there was a good way to store these for future reference through this feature. I guess I was expecting "Save to Notes" option, but I can do this manually through Notes. Again - great feature! Thank you!

Aaron,
This is not part of the visual copy tool.
What I have done is to create a highlighter pallet that saves to a specific note file. The only highlight method in there is tied to the quick key "Q".
Now when I'm reading and find a quote, I can highlight, tap Q and i'm done.
An alternative would be to create a "clippings" file named quotations and use that.

As Todd mentioned earlier sending to Keynote is not currently supported from Visual Copy, but we do plan on adding this support in the future. Are you not seeing the ability to send to Keynote media resources other than Visual Copy?

I tried this for the first time this morning. When I tried to share to Facebook and Faithlife, the wrong image was displayed. However, when I saved it to a folder, it was the correct one.

I just tried this myself and it worked correctly for me. A few questions:
- When you say it was the wrong image, what is meant by this? The wrong background, the wrong text, the wrong aspect ratio?
- What platform is this on when this happens? Does it only happen on a specific platform?
- Does this happen with all images sent from visual copy, or only certain backgrounds?
