Will MP3 continue across multiple slides ONLY if "Start Playing Automatically" is selected?
I am new to Proclaim. I have a MP3 file I am needing to attach to a service item for special music. The MP3 file is for special music while the offering is being taken. I successfully uploaded the MP3 file to that service item. I unchecked the box "Start Playing Automatically" because the title slide for the song will be…

Issues with playing Youtube videos
I am having an issue playing multiple YouTube music videos in Proclaim, I get a message appearing with an exclamation point with a circle around it and wording stating "Video unavailable, watch on YouTube".

Blanks imported as Songs from Elvanto Service
Whenever we attempted to import service from Elvanto, all we get is blank entries (single slides with nothing, per item). The songs are available within Elvanto, however, on Windows Proclaim 4.14 (4.14.0.0179), we get blanks when we attempt to import service. This is an example of a service entry (attached): Is this a…

Sync Issues
Any time we make an update from a second computer while Proclaim is On Air, the outputs all briefly go black when the content is synced. Some times when we make an update from the computer that is On Air, the same thing happens. We used to have no issue with making updates from any source while Proclaim was live. Now, when…

Custom coloring for verses in songs
New Proclaim user here. I'm trying to figure out how to create custom colors for the different verses of songs in the preview/on air section of Proclaim. The preset colors for the verses are very similar to each other and hard to differentiate quickly. Propresenter allows for custom coloring of these verse groups. Is it…

CRITICAL: Add Custom Sizing/Positioning for Background Images (Like Foreground Images)
Hi guys, I've been a Proclaim fan since 2011 (shortly after release), rolled it out & drove a production team (Northminster) with its advanced features for 5 years, and have recommended it to many churches since. But since streaming became standard I keep hitting one major snag: livestreaming. And I'm sadly hitting that…

Smart Screen Advance
Is there a way to have auto advance on songs? Timed advance does not work as each slide has a different time spent and varies song to song.

Can you set a timer for a slide show?
I run a series of slides during our prayer time. We want the slides to run for 6 min then advance to the corporate prayer time slide BUT I don't want the congregation to see a countdown timer on their screen. I want my tech crew to see the timer so that they can advance the slides to the final corporate slide but no one…

Problem after Problem -- Please fix it!!
I am beginning to lose my patience with Proclaim. We have been using Proclaim since 2013 and I have been one of your biggest boosters. But now? We have had one particular problem that first cropped up in June of last year. The final solution? We had to stop editing on the fly from a different computer -- if we edit the…

Is there a fixed font size setting?
Is there an option/feature that will keep text the font size I set it to? No matter what font size I set, Proclaim automatically adjusts/shrinks the text size to fit it within the frames. I have to manually enter page breaks in order to get the text big enough to see well on our screens. Thank you in advance.

How can I send a pure camera feed to another PC?
I have a PTZ camera attached to the same computer Proclaim is installed in. I have set up slides with no backgrounds and the names of various people involved in different parts of the service so that the camera shows up on the in-church screens. I then use NDI on another computer to stream the service on the internet.…

Proclaim attached audio not playing
This little bug has been floating around for a few months now. Videos play normally, no issues. The only time I've seen this is when attaching audio to a slide. When that slide comes up the audio fails to play. I've tried several file types (MP3, wav, etc…) and different slide types all with the same result of no audio…

Copying from one account to another
Is it possible to copy an entire presentation from one account and save it so that It can be opened on another account? When I move from one church, I usually exit out of the group. The problem that I face is that I also lose access to the Proclaim presentation. How do I save my information so that the presentation does…

We are running Proclaim from 2 laptops simultaneously, going to multiple displays. On the main laptop, all is well, however on the second laptop, the mouse scrolling direction is wrong on the navigation pane. In the slide pane it is ok… scroll down and you go down in the list. However, in the navigation pane on the left,…

Proclaim - video playback performance over NDI?
Hello, I'm experiencing some slight performance issues - exclusively when playing back videos - over NDI from Proclaim to OBS. Slides, announcements, anything static is working fine. When playing a video, the NDI input into OBS gets a bit choppy. The playback both in Proclaim itself, and on the projector output, is…

How do you start a presentation at the current slide?
When you click "On Air", Proclaim always starts at the very beginning of the presentation which is annoying for many reasons. Is there a way for it to just start up on the currently active slide within Proclaim? And similarly, is there a one button method to switch to a Black Background like OpenLP has?

Inability to Upload content
Same issue as the thread from Isaac Cantrell on Mar 19 2022, except this started on my PC last year (2024). The other 3 computers that run proclaim during the service have no upload issues, however my PC in my office won't upload any longer. it used to upload correctly, but now just sits with zero upload. I've worked…

Organizing Uploaded Media
Is there a way to organize media items within Boards created in the Media section of Proclaim? It would be helpful to be able to organize similar uploaded still slide backgrounds, motion backgrounds, audio tracks and other media within Boards I have created in the Media section.

How to enter x, y, w, h fields
Have used Proclaim on Mac for a while, but for looking too long today, can not find how to get the place to manually enter x and y or w and h for an object on a slide. Or, how to angle the content on a slide. Who can help relieve my brain block?

Upload Canva presentation
How do I upload a Canva presentation to the church proclaim program? Can it be uploaded directly from Canva, or should it be downloaded as a PDF, or Powerpoint, or a different format? Currently when I downloaded it as a pdf it is grayed out and not a live uploadable link

Loading Previously Formatted Songs
I have to admit to being frustrated by the way Proclaim seems to handle the song library. My understanding was that if you make any changes to a song, it gets saved in the library under the My Content section. Adding a song from the My Content selection should then bring up the song with all the formatting, order, and…

No audio recorded during sermon.
We had no audio showing on the Audio Settings and nothing was recorded for the sermon. At this time wee see no changes since last week when everything worked. Already reported issue within Proclaim Help menu. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Accurate count of number of times Songs are used
I cannot find a way to distinguish between a rehearsal and service when going on air. As we do a full run through with Orchestra every Sunday, and sometimes a partial run through with choir on Wednesdays, or count of hymn use is greatly inflated. Has anyone found a work around for this???

NDI output on Mac is very laggy and drops lots of frames
The NDI output from Proclaim on our Mac is very laggy, dropping frames and really unusable. The lag seems to be variable as well which doesn’t help our operators when they are trying to time the lower thirds that go out with our livestream. We’re transmitting low bandwidth NDI at 30Hz, higher band or 60Hz is even worse. If…

Creating a new song, lyric attachement issue
I'm creating a new song for the first time. I've added in all the song details, Title, author etc…, then saved it to my library. I've typed in the lyrics how do I connect a set of lyrics to a specific verse 1, verse 2, etc…? If I uncheck the box next to where I can add Title, screen and all that my lyrics will show, but if…

Recording stopping before it gets to "Stop Recording"
We've been using Proclaim for our services for a couple of years now, and one of the features we've enjoyed is how easy it is to record the sermon. However, the last 3 services with recording of sermons, the recording stopped after 6min, 2min, 8min respectively. Nothing was noticed by the person at the computer. I was…

Confidence monitor-style formatting for a chord-embedded printout?
Hi. I don't use a confidence monitor, but want to access something like the formatting there for a printout, where chords are displayed above the lyrics. Initially, I couldn't work out where to do this, but found out how in the process of composing this post, so I thought I'd contribute it here anyway. I may well come back…

Removing songs from Usage Reports?
Sometimes I add songs to the presentation that emphasize different themes, with no intention of singing all of them. This leaves flexibility to lead according to the direction the service takes. However, those songs that go unsung are still included in the usage reports, which throws off my future planning and my look back…

Quickest way to upload announcements PDF into Proclaim
I'm having a hard time dealing with getting PDF's into a presentation in Proclaim. With so much drop and drag functionality for images, I thought PDF's would be the same. But when that didn't work, every AI generated answer online said to import the pdf and Proclaim would turn each page into images - but is this actually…

When Are We Going to See Proclaim for iPad?
Hello, My church has finally upgraded to a wireless system. We can now use presentation software. I would like to use Proclaim without the use of a laptop. Does Proclaim come for the iPad? Or is that just the remote app?

Confidence Monitor
Currently our Confidence Monitor is set for a black background and white letters. If we use black letters on our slides, the Confidence Monitor also changes to black letters and then we can't see them. The default font for the Confidence Monitor is set to white. Shouldn't that stay the same regardless of what color font is…

Group Media Files
We have recently imported our children's song library of power point files into the Media Library. Each slide is named with the title of the song and "slide 1," "slide 2," etc. When importing into the service schedule we must use the "entire series" button when importing on the song. Once in the schedule we can group and…

Deleting a "Worship Team"
So, there was an issue when some unnamed person didn't know what the Worship Team was or why it was there, thinking it was created by someone else long ago for no reason. That person decided to delete the "Worship Team" and we lost all of the links to our Song arrangements. While I'm sure this doesn't happen too often,…

Can I Get Video and Audio Feed to a Specific Display?
See the screen shot. I have a lower third view that I show on Youtube, but also want to show it on a display elsewhere in the church for viewing. Right now, we have the lowerthird graphic, but not our video or audio. Is it possible to push that to that display?

Why are lyrics disappearing from slides after making changes?
We have recently experienced a problem several times where our music director updated a presentation on his laptop computer in his office, and when we used the presentation hours later during the church service, song lyrics would disappear from the output to the screens. They were present on the work screen of the computer…

Video Compression Software
I want to use an Igniter Media video that is slightly over the 600MB proclaim video size limit. Can someone recommend a video compression software (preferably freeware) that I can use to shrink down the size of the video. Thank you in advance.

How do you duplicate a song?
I have two teams in my church. One team likes to have only two lines of lyrics per slide, the other team likes to have as many as six lines per slide (they do not stream) Arrangements (within Proclaim) do not control how many line breaks or slides there are in a song, so I am guessing I need to duplicate a song with a…

New Laptop Spec Question
I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop for my church and was wondering if there's any ETA on Proclaim supporting Intel Ultra or Snapdragon processors? This seems to be the overall direction that laptop processors are going in. Thank you for all your help!

Boards
Is there a way to show the boards in alphabetical order? We have song slides in boards categorized by title. Unfortunately, while going to retreive the song slides from media, it take a bit of time to locate. They seem to be randomy listed. Thank you for your help.😊
