Public Beta testing
For those of us that have been using the BETA live, it expires today (9-30), which leaves us in a bind come Sunday, and having to "backtrack"...can the BETA version be extended out so as to make it usable? The alternate output is something we have come to enjoy, especially for our live stream.
Is there a way to remove the watermark on the beta? Or is it there for the beta and can't be removed? Thanks.
BTW, I just downloaded the beta and am beyond thrilled. Love the alt output. Thanks.
You just need to login to the Beta with your account username and password to remove the watermark.
Love the beta update! Question though- when the beta expires, will the update be live?
Using the dual outputs means I have to change the formatting of the songs, which is fine unless I'm going to have to change them back for one output.
I've wanted two outputs for so long I don't want to go back. Just wanting to be prepared. Thanks.
I probably need to take some time to test this, but maybe someone here can answer this question.
How are "presentations" handled with the alt output? For instance, if I set the alt output theme to a theme with lower thirds, then we have an announcements presentation (which is designed to be full screen, with bulleted text, graphics, etc) I can picture in my head the formatting would be all wacky because it's going to try to cram it in the lower thirds area. It seems like we almost need a separate alt output theme for each content type (scripture, songs, presentations). I can also see where people would want different formatting or alpha channel graphics for scriptures than they do for songs.
Or is there also the ability to add an alt output theme for each piece of content, which would override the default (just like normal themes)... so, while the lower thirds theme is the "default alt output theme", you could assign a different theme to individual presentations which you want to show full screen?
@Info, The full version will be released before the beta expires.
@Adam Smith, You can set a specific default Alt out Song, Scripture and Presentation theme. So if you want your Alt out for songs to be lower thirds text and your Presentation to be exactly like your main output, you can set your Alt song theme to be a lower third text theme and set your Alt out presentation theme to the exact same theme as your main out presentation theme.

Thanks for the response. Sounds like that will work great for our needs. I need to update the beta I installed at home and start playing with this again!
I am no longer able to present powerpoint slides with 7.3.0.10 beta. This works fine in 7.2. All that shows is a black screen on the Live View. I see the thumbnails and can advance back/forth between them but the live review remains blank until I move to another set, such as an image or video.
I have the same with the .11 non beta. Powerpoint is black on the Live view
If you have not already down so you should create a ticket so that we can trouble shoot the issue with you.
Thanks. Also, it would be really useful to be able to edit the song live. Sometimes I find little spelling mistakes, or the group \ person singing a slightly different version of the song, and for one or two words, or even some letters, I need to go to edit, and find the slide, than find the part where I need to make the change, than save and then search again on the preview for the slide that the singer reached and then pres Go Live (or double click). And if during the edit I need to change the slide, I can only do it through the app on the phone. I apologize if this was already addressed, but i couldn't find something about this. Thanks again!
This alternate screen option is very useful. I use it to send the lyrics as subtitles through NDI to another computer that uses vMix for live streaming. My problem is, when I want to put the Logo (that is a picture) on the main screens in the church, the Logo covers my entire live stream as is sent to alternative output as well. As a temporary fix, i use the Logo as desktop background, and after the song, i simply stop transmitting live from Easyworship, and so on the screens remains only the desktop background that is the Logo. But...is there a way that we can put the Logo/Clear/Black only on Main output? Tanks ;)
"My problem is, when I want to put the Logo (that is a picture) on the main screens in the church, the Logo covers my entire live stream as is sent to alternative output as well."
We do have this in our request list.
Love the alternate screen option but am so disappointed that text formatting is lost. Is this likely to be fixed soon please? We really need font colour and bold to be passed through to the alternate (and stage screen) if possible. Thanks.

If you do have a one-time purchase license and would like to play with/test the features, you can install the beta. You will just need to sign out of your account in the beta and run it as a demo to see the new features.
