Some things that would be desirable to me.
I like how we can adjust the lyric layout to appear different on the live stream. However, when we Switch Song to update for the following week, if any changes were made on the Live Stream tab, those lyrics stay there instead of updating to the new song. Can the lyric layout be saved with the song so that when we pull it in the next time, (a) we know both the Slides tab and Live Stream tab have the same song; and (b) we don't have to change the layout on the Live Stream tab every time we do the song?
I'd like to see an enhancement to the Picture in Picture function to where we can (a) add a background to the live stream output; (b) customize the size and position of the Slides output (like we can now); and (c ) have a transparent "cutout" where the live video would show through that you can customize the size and position of. I've attached an example of what I'm trying to describe.
Not a big deal, but on the Live Stream tab, can the copyright information be displayed with the title slide but still be shown on the last lyric slide on the Slides output? We use a lower third graphic for lyrics on the stream and there isn't enough room for the lyrics and the copyright information (sometimes the copyright information is longer than the song.) I'd like to have it on the title slide on the stream but keep it on the last lyric slide at the church to signal that the song is ending.
On Content slides, I'd like to be able to highlight a portion of the text and customize the properties (font, size, color, vertical spacing, kerning) without having to create a new text box like you can in Word or PowerPoint.
I'd like the ability to add notes that show up on the application window when a presentation is On Air or in Preview mode. I imagine in many cases, the person that sets up the media and the person running it during service are two different people. Notes should be allowed at any taxonomical level (Presentation, Element, and Slide). The notes could display on the right side. If a note is attached to a slide, perhaps an icon could be displayed on the slide and the user can mouse over it to see the note in a popup window (like notes in Excel) or be displayed underneath the slide.
Allow Bible passages to be displayed in true block paragraphs with slides breaking where they need to, even in the middle of a verse. I've attached an example of what I'd like it to do. Being able to customize the verse numbers would be nice as I like to use different colors. Minor, but I'd also like for the version to be displayed in the same text box as the reference and in parentheses. For example: Romans 8:26-30 (ESV).
When using Lyric Scrolling, to only display the lines from the next slide that can be fully shown, no lines that get cut off at the bottom. And to only display one following slide at a time.
Being able to create linked items to another presentation instead of just within the same presentation. Like if a church had a contemporary and traditional service where the songs would be different but the announcements and sermon would be the same slides. That way, updates would only have to be made in one presentation instead of remembering to make the change in multiple presentations.
Having a free form Content library. There are Content items that we don't use every week and I have them saved in a separate presentation to copy and paste from.
This is my wish list for now.
