Every presentation in ProPresenter consists of at least one slide, even if it’s just a single media action. Each slide can tell you a lot about what is going to happen when you click on the slide, including the type of media action, whether there are any other Actions that will happen if you click on the Slide, if it is a part of a Group or has a Label, etc. Show
Slide EditorThe most comprehensive way to edit presentations is to use the Slide Editor. The Slide Editor provides the ability to make changes to the objects on your slides, the slides themselves, and even the Presentation as a whole. To open the Slide Editor, click the Edit button in the toolbar, right-click on a slide and choose "Edit Slide," press Control-E on a Mac or a PC, or in the menubar select View > Editor.
Overview
Slide CanvasThe central area of the Editor is the Canvas where you will see representations of the objects and text that is on the currently selected slide. The Canvas uses an (X, Y) coordinate system, allowing you to align objects with pixel precision.
Adjusting the CanvasThe Canvas contains several tools to customize how it looks and feels; these buttons are in the lower right of the Editor. Checkerboard BackgroundBy default the Editor will show a grey background on the slide that you are working on. If you have set a Presentation Background Color or Slide Background Color, this color will show in the Editor on the Slide. If you would prefer to see a checkerboard texture instead of a solid color, click the Checkerboard Background button to do so. Click the button again to turn it off. GuidelinesGuidelines are lines to which you can "snap" objects to, allowing for easily lining objects to other objects or to the center of the slide, as examples. There are three types of Guidelines: Slide Guidelines, Template Guidelines, and Alignment Guides.
GridYou can add a grid of lines to the Editor to help align your objects; click on the Grid button in the lower right of the Editor to access this feature. To toggle the grid on or off, click the checkbox next to Enable, or on Mac, Option-click on the Grid button. Click on the Color option to select which color you would like to use for your Grid. You can adjust the spacing of the Grid by setting the Spacing (the space between the major lines) and Subdivisions (minor lines that appear between the major lines). Click outside of the Grid window to close the window.RulersThe Editor includes a set of Rulers that will show on the top and left edges of the screen to better help you see the positioning of the objects in the Editor. You can enable and disable the Rulers by clicking on the Rulers button in the lower right of the Editor or by selecting the Editor menu and choosing Show Rulers. ZoomTo adjust the zoom level of the Editor select the Zoom button in the lower right. You can select a predefined value or you can select Custom… to enter your own value. To have ProPresenter zoom so that you can see the entire slide, select Fit, or on Mac, Option-click on the Zoom button. Click outside of the Zoom window to close it. Slide NavigatorTo the left of the Canvas is the Slide Navigator. From here you can select which slide is currently being edited in the Canvas. You can scroll up and down this list to see all of the slides in the currently selected Presentation. Click on a slide to select it and show it in the Canvas. Right clicking on a slide will allow you to Copy, Paste, Delete, or Duplicate a slide. Right clicking on a Group name (if using that feature) will allow you to Rename or Change the Color of that group. Click the "+" button at the top right of the Slide Navigator to insert a new slide after the currently selected slide. If you have your slides grouped using the Groups feature you can click the triangle next to the name of the Group to hide or show the slides in that Group. Slide ObjectsProPresenter has a wide range of Objects that you can insert onto your slides, from simple text boxes to complex shapes and even custom shapes that you can draw yourself. There are several attributes to objects; these attributes allow for powerful control over what you show on the screen, however without a proper understanding they can cause some confusion. An Object is any item inside of the Canvas of the Editor. Objects are very versatile and may be of many shapes and content. All Objects have a Shape. This Shape can be one of many pre-defined shapes (such as a square, circle, or triangle) or a custom shape that you create yourself. There is no limit to an object's shape. For each individual object you can decide if (and with what) you want to Fill the object's shape with. You can fill the shape with a solid color, a gradient, media such as a still image or a video, or one of several other options. In addition to the fill there are other properties that are linked to an object's shape (such as Stroke and Shadow) which will be covered later. All objects are also inherently textboxes. That is, no matter the type of object you originally started out as, you can add text to it. You can activate the textbox of any object by double clicking on the object.
ProPresenter also has a Linking system which allows you to link Fill content as well as Text to other objects and other information within ProPresenter. Something that can be linked to is called a Token. For example, you can set the text of an object to be linked to the token of a countdown timer; if you were to do that, then whenever that object is shown the text would be replaced by the current value of that timer. Insert an Object by clicking on the + in the upper left corner of the Canvas. From this menu you can insert the type of object that you would like:
Some of the shapes feature controls to customize the shape. For example, creating a Star allows you to control how many points are on the star, as well as the angle of depth for each of the points. Interacting with ObjectsThere are several ways you can interact with objects in the Editor. Here are a few quick tips to get more out of ProPresenter:
To Align multiple objects, select multiple items, then, from the menubar, select Editor, choose Arrangement, and then Align Objects; from here you can align your items horizontally or vertically. Similarly you can select multiple items and select Distribute from the Editor menu to distribute your items horizontally, vertically, or evenly. Object ListTo the bottom left of the Canvas is the Object List which allows you to see and interact with all of the objects on the currently selected slide. Objects that are higher on the list will appear on top of (will cover up) objects that are lower on the list. Click and drag an object in the Object List to reorder the list, allowing you to move something higher or lower in the list. Hover your mouse over an object and click the Lock icon to lock or unlock that object. Locking an object locks it into place on the slide and you cannot edit any of its attributes until you unlock it again. Clicking on the Visible icon will hide or show the object on the Editor Canvas. Note that the object will show on your Screen when you Show the Slide. Right click on an object to Rename, Hide/Unhide, Lock/Unlock, or Delete the object. If you have a touchpad device then you can two-finger-drag to the left of an object to delete it. Slide NotesThe Slide Notes section of the Editor allows you to create notes on each Slide. These Notes can be used for your own reference or you can show them on the Stage Display to help the presenter remember their talking points, as an example. To toggle the Slide Notes area click the Slide Notes button on the bottom right of the Editor. You can change the Background Color of the Slide Notes area; click the color box to select one of the pre-defined colors or click the color wheel to select your own color.
You can type your text into the textbox in the center of the Slide Notes area. This textbox supports rich text formatting, meaning selected text can be bold, italicizes, different fonts, sizes, and even colors. Use the Inspector on the right of the Editor to make changes to the formatting of the text. Click on the gear icon for more features, such as paragraph settings and margins.
Slide InspectorThe right side of the Editor features the Inspector which offers you the most in-depth options for objects on your slides as well as the slide itself and even the Presentation as a whole.
The Inspector is context-aware, so which options are shown at any given time is dependent on what is (or is not) selected in the Canvas. There are three groups of Tabs that the Inspector can show in the main Slide Editor: The Slide Properties Tabs, the Object Properties Tabs, and the Slide Notes Tab. Slide Properties TabsIf you do not have any objects selected in the Canvas, then the Slide Properties Tabs will show in the Inspector. These Tabs are the Presentation Tab (to control information for the entire Presentation), the Slide Tab (to control information about the currently selected slide), and the Build Tab (to control the Build-Ins and Build-Outs on the currently selected slide). Presentation TabThe Presentation Tab allows you to access information about the currently selected Presentation. Toggle a Background color for the entire Presentation by clicking the checkbox next to Background. Click the color box to select a pre-defined color, or click the color wheel to select any color. The Size option allows you to change the resolution of your Presentation. (Note that all slides in your Presentation share the
same resolution.) Click the dropdown menu next to Size to choose a resolution for your Presentation.
Slide TabTo change information about an individual slide that you've selected, go to the Slide Tab in the Inspector. Click the checkbox next to Enabled to enable or disable the slide. Change the Hot Key for the slide by clicking in the textbox and typing a letter. The Label section allows you to change the Label for the slide. Toggle a Background color for the slide by clicking the checkbox next to Background. Click the color box to select a pre-defined color, or click the color wheel to select any color. You can also add, change, or remove a slide's Chord Chart. The Chord Chart feature allows you to add a PDF into the slide that will trigger to a Stage Screen if you've added a linked item to a Chord Chart on your layout.Build TabThe Build Tab in the Inspector allows you to set an individual transition for the Slide you have selected. There are a lot more options in this tab used once you have an Object selected. Here, you would just have the options of whatever transition you choose for the slide to appear on your screens. Object Properties TabsWhen an object is selected in the Canvas the Tabs on the right change to the Object Properties Tabs. These include the Shape Tab (controls the overall shape as well as any fill content for the object), the Text Tab (controls the text that is within the object), and the Build Tab (for controlling Build-Ins and Build-Outs on the slide).
Shape TabThe Shape Tab offers a lot of great ways of controlling the object itself and what the object looks like. Alignment and DistributionAcross the top of the Shape Tab there is a series of Alignment and Distribution buttons. If you only have one object selected in the Canvas then the first three buttons will horizontally align that object to the slide (left side of slide, center of slide, and right side of slide) and the next group of buttons will align the object vertically to the slide (top, middle, and bottom of slide). When only one object is selected the third group of buttons is not available for use. When two or more objects are selected the Alignment buttons will align the objects to themselves (instead of the slide). For example, selecting two objects then clicking on the leftmost button (Align Left) will align the left side of both objects to the leftmost of the objects. That is, it will make their left sides line up. All of the Align buttons work this way (left, center, right, and top, middle, and bottom). The three Distribute buttons only activate when you have three or more objects selected in the Canvas. These buttons will evenly distribute the objects amongst themselves. For example, if you have three textboxes and you want them to each be the same distance apart from left to right, you could move the textboxes into their approximate locations, select all three textboxes, then click the Distribute Horizontally button and they would each be distributed evenly along the horizontal plane. Position, Size, Transform, and OpacityBelow the Align and Distribute buttons you can control the Position and Size of the object. Enter a number into one of the textboxes and press Enter or Tab to apply the change, or click the up and down arrows to nudge the number in the appropriate direction. Between the Width and Height textboxes there is a lock icon. Click this icon to toggle the Lock Aspect Ratio feature. With this feature enabled the aspect ratio of the object will always stay the same. You can also Transform the object; click the Flip Horizontal and/or Flip Vertical buttons to flip the object. Rotate the object by clicking and dragging on the rotation dial, typing an angle into the textbox and pressing Return or Tab, or by using the arrows next to the textbox. You can change the opacity of the object by clicking and dragging on the Opacity slider, typing a number into the textbox and pressing Return or Tab, or by using the arrows next to the textbox. Fill In the Fill section you can choose what (if any) fill the currently selected object has. There are many options for filling the shape of an object, including a solid color, a gradient, a still image, or a video. You can also fill the shape with an active Webpage or Video Input from a camera or another input source.One other option is to link to another object on the Slide. If you choose this option, the menu will show you all other Objects on your Slide and you can choose to link to the fill attributes of that Object. This is especially helpful if you are using a Gradient or specific color pattern and want to get the same specific formatting settings to two or more separate Objects.
The Shadow provides the option of adding a shadow to the shape of an object. Properties include Blur, Opacity, color, Angle, and Offset.
The Feathering option allows you to feather (soften) the shape of an object. The higher the number, the softer the shape will be. Visibility ProPresenter allows the user to show or hide objects based on several variables. For example, you can have an object be hidden while a timer is counting down, but once the timer hits zero the object shows. Or you may want an object to show only if another object's textbox doesn't have any text in it.If you would like the object to show only under certain circumstances then you can enable the Visibility feature. Select if you want the object to show when "All...," "Any...," or "None of the following conditions are met". Below that you can add as many conditions as you would like. You can select another object on the slide and have the current object only visible if there is or isn't text inside of that other object. The other option is to select a Timer and choose to show the current object if that timer has time remaining, has expired, is running, or is not running. Text TabThe Text Tab of the Object Properties Inspector gives you full control over the text that is inside of an object. Font and ParagraphThe first section offers control over the font styling of the text. There is also a gear menu which allows further formatting like those listed below.
Many of these formatting options for the font can also be adjusted in the Editor>Text menu in the menubar at the top of the program. The next item is Text Scaling which allows you to dynamically scale the object based on the text in it or dynamically scale the text based on the object it’s in. Here you can choose from one of four scaling options.
Below the Font section you can control the paragraph formatting, such as if the text is justified to the Left, Center, Right, or Left Justified, and if the text is centered on the Top, Middle, or Bottom of the textbox. Stroke and ShadowIf you would like to add a Stroke and/or a Shadow to the text then you can do so by checking the appropriate check box. The Stroke (an outline around the text) allows you to control the Width and the Color of the line.The Shadow option gives you the option to set the Blur, Opacity, Color, Angle, and Offset of the shadow.
The Lines Only option allows you to limit the object's Fill to only show in lines behind the text. This can create a masking effect on the shape behind the text, bringing focus to the text itself. You can toggle this feature by clicking the checkbox next to Lines Only. The options available to you are:
The List feature allows you to enable bulleted and numbered lists inside of textboxes. Toggle this feature by clicking on the checkbox next to List.
The Linked Text feature allows you to link the textbox to other sources within ProPresenter, such as Timers, the System Clock, and other textboxes on this same slide. This can help create a more dynamic slide as well as create unique effects for some stage layouts. For example, let's say you have a very wide output screen and want the same text to appear multiple times on the same output. Instead of copying and pasting the same text onto each slide multiple times, you could create one textbox, enter the text into that textbox, then create several textboxes that are linked to the original textbox. Joining this feature with the Templates feature of ProPresenter can create unique outputs with minimal work. You can toggle this feature by checking the checkbox next to Linked Text. Below are the Linked Text options that are available in the Slide Editor. Other Editors may have more or less options; see those respective sections for more information. Slide Object: This option allows you to dynamically show the text that is in one object inside of another object. With the mouse hovered over this option it will list all of the objects on the current slide (with the currently selected object grayed out as it cannot be selected). Select the object that you would like to link the text from and any text that is in that object will also be displayed in this object. There is also a Transform box that will appear below that allows you four options to transform the linked text dynamically on the Slide for more advanced integrations.
Timers: Any timers that you have set up in the Timers window can be selected to be shown in the currently selected textbox.
System Clock: The System Clock can be shown as linked text.
Text Ticker: Selecting the Text Ticker option will have ProPresenter show text scrolling across the screen, similar to the ticker across the bottom of a news broadcast. This feature is not currently available in ProPresenter, but will hopefully be available soon
Video Countdown: Shows the time left of a video that is currently playing in the Media layer of ProPresenter (such as a Foreground or Background). Formatting options are the same as Timers above. Build TabThe Build Tab in the Inspector allows you to "Build In" and "Build Out" objects onto the screen. Think of this as animating objects onto and off of the screen.
Build Ins and Build Outs are great ways to animate text onto and off of the screen. If you have a slide with Build Ins, Build Outs, and/or you have the Delivery mode set, when you are in the Slide View you will see empty circles across the bottom of the slide; each circle represents additional animations that you can perform on that slide. To fire Build Ins, Build Outs, and Delivery modes, first fire the slide as normal, either by clicking on it or by using the space bar or right arrow key. After the first time you fire the slide and you are ready to show the next step in the animation sequence, fire the slide again by any of the above methods (clicking on the slide, spacebar, or right arrow key); each time you fire the slide after the first the next circle will fill in, showing your process through the animation sequence. At the end of the animation sequence you can manually click on the next slide, or press the spacebar or right arrow key to fire the next slide. If you are in the middle of the animation sequence and want to go to the next slide without finishing the sequence, click on the next slide.
To add a Build In or Build Out to an object, first select that object in the Canvas, then, at the top of the Build tab, select Add Build next to either Build In or Build Out to choose which Transition you would like the Object to follow. DeliveryOnce you select a Transition, you will have an option to set the Delivery of that object. This feature of ProPresenter allows you to add additional levels of control about how the text will appear on the screen. There are three Delivery modes:
The Build Order area of the Build Tab offers a visual representation of all of the Build Ins and Build Outs that you have set up on the currently selected slide. Each Build In and Build Out will have a separate row associated with it; this row will show the name of the object as well as the Transition that you have set for that build. The first build in the list happens first in the animation sequence, and each subsequent build below it happens in that order. To reorder builds in the animation sequence, click and drag a build to be higher or lower in the animation sequence.
When you click and drag a build and hover the mouse between two other builds, you will see a blue line appear between those builds, showing you where the build will be located. If you drag, however, on top of another build, the blue line will appear on top of that other build, either on the top half of that build or on the bottom half, depending on where your mouse is. If you release the mouse when the blue line is on top of another build it will put it above or below that other build, however it will attach itself to that other build (represented by there not being a space between the two builds). This puts the lower build into a Start mode called With Build, which is covered in the Start and Delay section. Start and DelayAt the bottom of the Build Tab is the Start and Delay section. This section controls when the selected build will start animating. You can set the Start of the build animation to happen:
You can Delay the time between when the animation is fired and when it is actually animated onto the screen. Set the Delay time by manually typing into the Delay text field, or by clicking on one of the arrow buttons to nudge the number higher or lower. Reflow ViewThe Reflow Editor makes it fast and easy to make changes to text that is on your slides. This is particularly helpful when, for example, you first import a song and you need to adjust slide breaks and Groups so that the text shows correctly on your screens. To open the Reflow Editor:
Use the slider on the lower left to control how large the text appears in the Reflow Editor, and use the slider on the lower right to control how many columns of slides are on the right side. While editing text, if you would like to break a slide into multiple slides you can use the Insert Slide Break feature. First, put the cursor where you would like the text to break between slides, then either click the Insert Slide Break button on the lower left or press Option-Return on Mac or Control-Enter on PC. This will create a new slide and move any text that is below the cursor to the next slide.
Clicking on the disclosure to the top right of each slide on the left side or right clicking on a slide thumbnail on the right side will bring up the same menu as if you right-clicked on a slide in the main Slide View Area. ThemesThemes allow you to quickly define a set of styles for your slides. A Theme is made up of multiple template slides that can be applied to your slides. ProPresenter comes with a collection of Themes to help get you started and you can also learn to create your own to use for sermon series, events or other times where a certain style is helpful across all of your slides. Applying ThemesThere are a number of ways to select the Theme
that you want to use, so we’ll start with updating an existing set of slides. To quickly change the appearance of a presentation, open it from the Library then click on the Theme dropdown menu in the toolbar. Select the Theme you’d like to use from this list. When you mouse over any of the Themes you will be shown what the Theme Slides look like that you can choose from. Selecting New Theme will prompt you to name your new Theme and then opens the Theme Editor. You can add as many Theme Slides as you wish within a Theme. If you go to an individual Theme in the menu, there are two options at the bottom of the list of Theme Slides as well. These options are fairly self explanatory to either Edit an existing Theme which opens the Theme Editor or Delete Theme which removes that Theme from the program. Right clicking on a slide and opening the Theme menu offers one other option. If you build a slide you'd like to save as a Theme Slide in a Theme, you can do this by right clicking on the Slide and going to Themes, selecting the Theme you wish to put this slide under and then choosing Add Selection to Theme Theme EditorIf you need to edit a Theme that has already been created or wish to create a new Theme, the Theme Slides are found in the Theme Editor. Note: The Theme Editor is very similar to the Slide Editor. This section will only cover parts of the Editor that are unique to the Theme Editor. For general information about the Editor as well as items that are not covered here, please see the Slide Editor section. Theme Editor InterfaceThere is no Slide Notes feature in the Theme Editor. Theme Slide TabWhen no objects are selected on the Theme Slide in the Editor, the
Inspector on the right side of the Editor window will show a single Theme Slide tab. This is where you set the basic formatting of your Theme slides. This includes three editable options...
Object InspectorThere are no differences in the Object Inspector when an object is selected in the Editor between the main Slide Editor and the Theme Editor. Groups and ArrangementsGroups and Arrangements make it easy for you to create multiple versions of a single Presentation without having to save several files in your Library. This feature allows you to define slides as part of a stanza (Group) and then arrange them in whatever order you need. By default, there is a set of Groups already created
inside of the program that can be used and/or modified. You can view these Groups in the Label tab of ProPresenter Preferences. To get started, right-click on a slide and select a Group Name. If you have 8 slides and start on the first slide, all 8 slides will be grouped into the selected group. If you start on slide five, the first four slides will remain with the generic “No Group Name” and the last four slides will be in your selected Group, for example “Verse 1”. This second scenario is shown in the image below. You can right-click on any slide to start a new Group for the slides between that slide and the next Group. If slide three is selected above and named “Chorus,” only slides 3 and 4 will be affected. Slides 1 and 2 still have “No Group Name”. Groups can be renamed by repeating the naming process and selecting a new name. Groups can also be split into additional groups by right-clicking on one of the slides and selecting a new Group. In the image below, the last four slides have been split up into three groups, with slide five being the only one that is still part of Verse 1. You can also turn on the Arrangement feature by clicking on the third button in the Presentation Header. This will show each Group represented by its own button (“Token”). Each of the tokens there are colored to match the color of the Group Label that you’ve created.To create a new Arrangement for your presentation, open the Arrangements toolbar and click on the dropdown menu on the left and select New Arrangement.... You will be prompted to name this new Arrangement. Once you have created your new Arrangement you will need to drag the Groups into the order that you want to be shown in that new Arrangement. Click on the Tokens in the top row and drag them to the second row to organize your Arrangement. If you repeat a Group in your Arrangement, any edits made to one of those instances will apply to the others. For example, if you have Chorus in your Arrangement five times and add a background to the first slide of the Chorus, it will be added to the other instances of Chorus. This also applies to any changes made to the text on a slide. These changes are also reflected in other Arrangements that use the same Group. The properties of an Arrangement are not unique to that specific Arrangement.Due to how Arrangements are stored within the song file, you can actually have the same presentation in your playlist multiple times with a different active Arrangement selected for each instance of the presentation. To change the Arrangement, right-click on the Presentation in the Playlist and select the Arrangement from the Arrangement> menu. You’ll see the Arrangement name in [brackets] at the top of the presentation when you open as you can see in the image above, as well as, in the Library and Playlist. The selected Arrangement is stored as part of the Playlist data, so exporting the Playlist will maintain the proper Arrangement when you open it on another computer. Slide ActionsSlide Actions are one of the most powerful and versatile features of ProPresenter. An Action is an event that happens inside of ProPresenter. This can be showing ("firing") a Background to the audience screen, or the changing of a Stage Display layout, or sending a Midi signal out of the computer. ProPresenter lets you add Actions to slides so that when you click on the slide, the Actions attached to that slide are also triggered. These are called Slide Actions. Let's say that you want a background to fire when you click on a specific slide, or you want a timer to start when a slide is clicked, or you want a Message to show on the screen when you get to a specific part of a Presentation. All of these are perfect examples of Slide Actions. In fact you can have multiple Slide Actions on one slide. So you might have a single slide that fires a Background, changes the Stage Display Layout, changes the Audience Look, and sends a Midi signal to turn on the stage lights. That's a lot happening with one mouse click! This section describes all available Slide Actions inside of ProPresenter, as well as how to add them to a slide and how to edit them. Slide Action BasicsSlide Actions are represented by icons that appear on or near a slide's thumbnail so that you can quickly identify what Slide Actions are attached to which slides. In the main slide area of ProPresenter, if you are using Grid View or Easy View, the Slide Action icons appear on the top left of the slide's thumbnails; in Table View the icons appear to the right of the text.
How to add Actions to slides will be covered in each specific section below. To edit (change the properties) of a Slide Action, right-click on that slide and:
To remove a Slide Action from a Slide, right-click on that slide and:
To remove all Slide Actions from a slide, right-click on that slide, hover over Remove Action, and choose Remove All. Action PaletteOftentimes the easiest way to add an Action to a slide is via the Action Palette. This is one window that gives you access to many (but not all) Actions you can drag onto slides for easily adding Actions to Slides. To open the Action Palette:
To add an Action to a slide from the Action Palette, simply click and drag the Action from the Palette onto a slide. Clear ActionsAdd a Clear Action to a slide to clear other areas of ProPresenter when you click on that slide. These Actions can be added to slides by right-clicking on a slide and hovering over Add Action > Add Clear Action; Actions marked with an * can also be added via the Action Palette. Clear Actions that are available:
You can have multiple Clear Actions on one slide, however you can only have one of each type on a given slide. Media ActionsProPresenter can fire media files such as a still image, a video, and audio from a Slide Action. Graphic ActionAdding a graphic (that is, a still image or a video) to a slide will fire that slide to the Foreground or Background layer of ProPresenter, depending on how that Action is set up:
You can add a graphic to a slide one of several ways:
Once the Action has been added to the slide, if you need to change the behavior between Foreground and Background you can right-click on the slide and under Media Action Behavior choose which behavior you would like. You can only have one graphic Action on a slide at a time. Media Bin Playlist ActionThis action, added in ProPresenter 7.3 and above, allows you to trigger a full Playlist in your Media Bin from a single slide. This is especially useful for playback of scrolling slides before an event from a Smart Playlist. You can add the Media Bin Playlist to a slide through a few options:
Audio ActionTo fire audio on a slide you can add an Audio Action to that slide. Audio tracks have two types:
See the Audio Bin section for more information on the two Audio types. You can add audio to a slide one of several ways:
You can only have one Audio Track on any given slide, however you can have multiple Sound Effects on slides.
Audio Bin Playlist ActionThis action, added in ProPresenter 7.3 and above, allows you to trigger a full Playlist in your Audio Bin from a single slide. This is especially useful for playing back a collection of audio files before an event. You can add the Audio Bin Playlist to a slide through a few options:
Video Input ActionAdd the Video input Action onto a slide to automatically turn on or change the Video Input layer of ProPresenter when that slide is clicked. Add the Video Input Action to a slide by opening the Action Palette and dragging the Video Input Action onto a slide; doing so will give you the option to choose which Video Input you would like to assign to that slide. Audio Input Action (added in 7.3)In much the same way as the Video Input action, you can add an Audio Input Action onto a slide to automatically alter an Audio Input’s mode or level when that slide is triggered. You can change what Mode the input is set to (Off, On, Auto Off, Auto On) and also set the level you wish the input to playback at. Add the Audio Input Action to a slide by opening the Action Palette and dragging the Audio Input Action onto a slide; doing so will give you the option to choose which Audio Input you would like to make changes to on that slide. Interactive ActionsThis section covers the rest of the features of ProPresenter that can be controlled by Slide Actions. Stage Layout ActionUse the Stage Layout Action to change Stage Layouts on the fly. Add a Stage Display Action to a slide by right-clicking and going to Add Action > Stage Display Layout or opening the Action Palette and dragging the Stage Display Action onto a slide; doing so will give you the option to choose which Stage Display Layout you would like to assign to that slide.You can also change your Slide Destination here which allows you to choose if you'd like to send the slide to only your Stage screen or to both the Stage and Audience screens. Selecting Stage will toggle on the Stage Only mode for your slides. You would need to set a second Action and set it to Stage + Audience to toggle this setting back off when you wish for your slides to show on the Audience screens again. You can set both the Layout and Slide Destination to change with the same Action. Timer ActionAdding Timer Actions to slides offers additional controls for starting, stopping, and restarting your Timers. There are two ways to add a Timer Action to a slide:
You can have multiple Timer Actions on one slide. Prop ActionYou can quickly add Prop Actions to slides to show specific Prop(s) when you click on a specific slide. Add Prop Actions to slides by opening the Action Palette and dragging the Prop Action onto a slide. When adding or editing a Prop Action you will be able to select which Prop you want to fire when that slide is clicked. You can have multiple Prop Actions on one slide. Audience Look ActionUse Audience Look Actions on slides to quickly change which Look you are using to show content to the audience screens. Add Audience Look Actions to slides by either:
When adding or editing an Audience Look Action you will be able to select which Look you want to use when that slide is clicked. This will change the Live Look that is used until a new Look is selected either via an Action or through the Looks menu. You can only have one Audience Look Action per slide.
