Customize text ON-AIR, Modify the background

We're evaluating Proclaim and another product for immediate purchase.  All involved like Proclaim better, but we've found issues that are pretty important and I hope that someone will be able to respond before a decision is made.

  1. Must go OFF AIR to modify text.  Most modifications to a slide may be made while remaining ON AIR with the exception of customizing the text.  When we find that the text displayed from our projector is not clear enough, we have to go OFF AIR to make changes.  Will this change soon?
  2. Cannot modify the background image.  If the background image needs to be altered (moved, resized, lightened), we have to modify the source image using a third party app and bring it in as a new image.  Will this feature become available soon?

Other issues we've found are not show-stoppers and may be addressed if we purchase Proclaim.  I like another poster's idea of collaborating a Quick Reference Guide for Proclaim and we would be very interested in assisting with that effort.  Thank you for your quick response! 

Agapé,

Jeff

    Very soon we will begin on overhauling the customization experience to be inline, a more traditional experience that people are used to (e.g ppt). I don't expect there to be an On Air limitation once this is in place.

    We have spec for this and it will likely be part of the customization overhaul. This overhaul is a pretty large change so I expect it to take quite a while. Months not week (but not years :)).
