but it would be super helpful if I could use the slides my team creates from the start.In the Media Tool you can "upload media" (button at top right of the panel)
Once you have uploaded it it is available under "User Media" (the selection toggle between this and "Logos Media") again at the top of the panel
You can then use this uploaded media when searching for media for your sermon slides.
I'm just going out so can't post screenshots at the moment but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

Uploading My own slides in Sermon

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this has been posted and answered already.
I write my entire sermon in Logos because of the awesome way it creates slides for my main points.
I have a team that can create great sermon slides in house, is there any way to upload the files they make into the Logos sermon media?
I have been using the plain black slide then going into keynote and changing everything, but it would be super helpful if I could use the slides my team creates from the start.
Thanks!

Thanks Graham! It took me a minute but then I realized I needed to update in order to get it done.

Thanks for the help with this and of the patience as I figure out how to use the message board.
I got figured out how to upload and access my own media, but now the "auto-updating" slides don't work.
I've checked the font color to ensure it wasn't just hidden but everything looks fine there.
Any ideas?

Hi Joe
As far as I know, the User Media slides don't auto-update as do Logos Created slides. You have to manually enter the text you want, and then configure it accordingly.
Which kind of defeats the object of having the Sermon Editor doing all the hard work for you!
I don't know if there are plans to allow User Media slides to auto-update in the future, but I really hope so.

Thanks Richard.
If that's the case its probably easier to do all the editing in Keynote then. Maybe they'll make some changes to it in the future.

Now Logos won't even export the slideshow as a powerpoint.

Is this only when using your own slides or all the time?

I'll double check it but it was for the sermon I preached yesterday, which I began by trying to use my own slides. Logos had a problem when I attempted that and then I tried to use the plain black slide from the logos media and the problem continued.

I've just tried - using the plain black slides - and it works fine.
Please double-check and, if its still not working, provide more details - rendered or not, etc.

Thanks for your help Graham! I really appreciate your patience is seeing this through.
I created a screen video via quicktime player to show you whats going on, though I can't upload it to the forums any advise on getting the screen video to you?.
It seems that the problem happens when I try to use my own media on the slides, which the video shows.
Today it exported the Power point just fine, but it wouldn't do it yesterday.
Another issue is that when I apply my own media to a slide, it deletes the the information on the slide, even after I restore it to the plain black.
Also, I don't think you can see it on the video, but it duplicated the 2nd slide x3.

Do you have access to any cloud drive where you can put the video and provide a link to it in the forum?

I've just tried to reproduce that - with my own media - and it still works ok.
I'm wondering if this is a Mac-specific issue, I'm working on Windows.
Hopefully another Mac user will be able to investigate / verify.
