Public Beta testing
Loving the new 7.3. Thanks to everyone who worked on it.
I'm probably not the first person to find it, but the settings for Display Copyright Information are only on the Main Output, and not on Alternate Output. Consequently, if you have enabled this, you have to have the same settings on your Main Output theme and your Alternate Output theme, even if you want different fonts on the different outputs. Please can you add these feature settings on the Alternate Output in the next update?
Many thanks.
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.
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 ;)

We do have this in our request list.
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!
Problem with EW going to song select, web page problem, EW said download beta, did that. It fixed but there is a time limited on having the beta, what can we do. Need to get songs for SS
Dan Willard
Charlie, you can use the beta to import the songs from SS. The beta uses the same database as your 7.3 version, so if you reopen your 7.3 for your live service, you should see the songs you imported. We will also either have the full 7.4 released before the beta expires, or we will release another beta that extends the expiration. No need to worry! : )
Nice the alternative output.
The default font style is nicely taken over from the alternative theme.
What I am unable to do is to get part of the text whose formatting has been changed (not default style) also with the changed formatting in the alternative output.
Is this already possible? (we use this to show the translation of the songs.)
Is it possible to specify a different alternative theme for each song? or can only the default alt song theme be set.
can you show the shedule item via midi - you show the slide
Dan Willard
Yes, you can control the schedule and slides using midi in the current version of EW. You will use Next or Previous Schedule or Schedule No. But you will have to use it with another function like Goto Presentation start or Slide No. It has to be used with one of those. By itself it won't do anything.
Dan Willard
I understand now. Yes, that happens to me every week and I have added it as a bug in our list. The highlighted schedule item does not follow when using midi. It always stays on the first schedule item that went live using midi. I do hope this gets fixed soon. If using foldback, it definitely affects the next item at the bottom of the screen because it doesn't actually show what's coming up next.
Will the alternate output allow us to send alpha channel over NDI?
What we really want to accomplish with this is have one output that goes to our projection system and a different output that goes to NDI with just the lyrics to be used in our live stream setup. I believe this would be a common use case for the alternate display.
Dan Willard
Yes, all outputs from EW (main, alternate, and foldback) will be able to send through NDI.

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.
