Proclaim 4.11 is now available!
Hello Proclaim community! 👋🏻
Today we shipped a new Proclaim 4.11 update that includes a couple of great new features, several under-the-hood improvements, and a bunch of bug fixes that should help make your services run a little smoother — whether you’re leading worship, running slides, or prepping media during the week.
Here’s what’s new and improved:
4K Canvas + Media Upload Support
You can now upload 4K media and set your Virtual Screen to a 4K aspect ratio in Settings > Display
New Optional Media Player (Windows only)
If you’ve had issues with Windows Media Player, you now have a new alternative player available. You can enable this in Settings > General

Smarter Click Behavior in Timeline & Grid Preview
Clicking a service item now scrolls it into view without jumping slides. Double-click to go straight to it. This should reduce accidental transitions, especially when your volunteers are On Air and just want to preview what's coming up next.
Sync Icon Now Shows More Detail
If something’s not syncing, you’ll now get a breakdown of what’s going wrong—making it easier to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly.
HEIC/HEIF Image Support (Mac)
If you're using Proclaim on Mac, you can now import photos taken on an iPhone into Proclaim without needing to convert formats first. The file will convert and sync over to Windows so you can then use it across platforms.
New Web-Based Authorization
We’ve updated the Proclaim login experience to use our Logos auth portal. When signing in, you will first be prompted to enter the same username and password you already use in a web browser first, then you will return to Proclaim. This will feel similar to other modern apps you might be using that also offer a desktop client.
Here are the bugs we’ve squashed in this release:
- Fixed: Free trial accounts incorrectly showing locked features
- Fixed: Videos with custom start times now display the right first frame
- Fixed: Grid preview no longer jumps to the top when syncing
- Fixed: “Rename” in Order of Service now updates the correct item
- Fixed: Countdown shapes stay locked to text as expected
- Fixed: Long foreground names now truncate nicely in Smart Media Creator
- Fixed: Crash when compressing files (Mac), and rare load-time crash (Windows)
- Fixed: Improvements in the Song Library:
- “Switch songs” button is now always visible
- Notes field behaves more predictably
- Windows: You can now close the window with a single click
- Fixed: Image orientation and stretching issues when importing
- Fixed: PayPal cancel button now returns you to checkout properly
As always, we value your feedback! Let us know what you think of the new release or anything else that's on your mind.

Hi David, thanks for the continual updates.
One thing I'd like to bring attention to to is that every time I create a new bible slide there is a carriage return at the end, creating an additional line that can affect the size of the the text and it's alignment. Could this be eliminated so I'm not going through every bible slide taking out the one extra line?

Hey @Morgan, can you share which Bible version you're using when this happens?

@David Cosand (Logos) My default is the ESV but I'm seeing it with all bibles. Even when I delete the carriage return and switch to another version (CSB, NLT, NET 2) it adds the extra line back .

The new service item clicking behavior is greatly appreciated!
Out of curiosity, is there any more detailed info on what the "new media player" is under the hood other than it's a new media player?

Appreciate 4K output! I can confirm it works over NDI output as well.
However, the Clock and Timer on my Confidence screens are now super huge, and I can't change their font size on the Confidence screens.

4K Confidence:
I was able to edit the Confidence Template to make the Current Slide Content text larger, but I am unable to edit the size of the Clock/Timer.

It is essentially using the latest API from Microsoft for playing back videos as opposed to the old API Microsoft has provided for a while and kinda abandoned. (Which relied on Windows Media Player to be installed which on latest Win 11 builds it is not and instead has to be added as an optional feature called "Windows Media Player Legacy ")
The plan is for any folks who are having video issues on Windows, to try out the new player and give us feedback. Then soon, we will make it automatically fallback to the new player if it can't play a video. And finally, we will eventually swap over to use the new player by default.

Thanks for the update. Uploading video is strange now... The videos are super-huge and slender. This makes it really difficult to see the entire video to know where you want to drag the slider to see a particular part of the video to better understand what the video is. And, it also makes adding metatags difficult since you cannot see the entire screenshot of the video all at once to see what the video is. My Video is 1080p in size. See attached screenshot.

Since this update I have been unable to get 'Send to Proclaim' to work on the verse of the day slides in Logos.
Could this be connected to the new 'clicking' regime?

Thanks for the info! I was curious to see if it was something native or potentially moving to something more cross platform where the Mac and Windows version would have the same media player.

Hi, following this update I am unable to load last week's presentation (on windows 11). Proclaim just crashed and won't restart. I don't even see the loader. Have tried uninstall and clean install etc but to no avail. Any help/recommendations appreciated! Thanks, KJ

Thanks for the report. We just released a Windows-only fix this morning. You can get it from the Help > About menu in Proclaim, or download it from proclaim.logos.com/download.

Latest update triggers antivirus software, I finally overrode it and was able to install and get Proclaim to run. Please tell me that the latest build was not infected with a virus??????
