We have lots of iPhone & Mac users. When will proclaim support HEIC so we don't have to convert photos to jpegs before importing them?
I wouldn't anticipate it. Apple requires a license fee of 20 cents per instance to decode the HEIC files (after a free allowance for smaller apps). Many other image formats are free to use or have lower royalty rates. No major browser except Safari supports HEIC, and Chromium (which Proclaim is built on) has no plans to add the functionality. Creating weird walled gardens instead of using standard formats is Apple's basic playbook (like only adding USB-C chargers under penalty of law).
You can set your phone up to automatically convert to JPEG.
For the sermon, our pastor uses his own laptop/tablet, which we then bring in to Proclaim as a video input using an HDMI to USB converter (an Elgato Camlink 4K). This gives us a lot of flexibility — it allows the pastor/speaker to use whatever they prefer (PowerPoint, Canva, Mac, iPad, Windows, etc.) and to slide advance…
