Public Beta testing
One suggestion, the "logo" button should just clear the screen, not put the image defined as a logo.
Because, using "alternate output" as lower third, pressing "logo" will cover the entire screen with the defined image.
Or put an option to define how it will work in cases:
- LOGO
- MEDIA / Images
- MEDIA / videos
- PRESENTATION
Agree with Igreja. The Logo should be ignored when using alpha channel.
Also, is it possible to choose whether the NDI output will output alpha channel? We have some situations where we would like to capture the entire display with backgrounds. It would be great if there was a way to generate two NDI outputs, one with alpha channel and one that shows the background. This way we could utilize two either version on different scenes in our streaming software. If we ever go full screen with a presentation, lyrics, or scripture it would be nice to have that background. As a workaround we can do this by running ndi scan converter and capturing the display EW is projecting to, but that generates multiple extra NDI feeds (including the foldback and the control display, which I'm assuming consumes additional bandwidth on our network) so it would be nice to have both feeds generated directly from within easy worship.

We are already working on the Logo issue.
Currently it is not possible to have 2 NDI outputs for Alt out. There have been others that have requested similar things. We have been discussing the best way to handle these types of use cases where sometimes you might want to use the background designated in the presentation and other times you want something different or transparent. More to come on that in future releases probably.
The function of the arrow keys is reversed in the beta (7.3.0.9) from what is stated in the help.
Has this been deliberately changed compared to, for example, version 6? Where is the up/down key to change the slide.
Can I change the shutcut keys back myself?
Dan Willard
Vez, we will have to do some testing on the formatting of the text.
Currently, you can set one default Alt out theme. There is not a way to set one for each song in the schedule. You will have to manually change the default when you want it to change. There will be a way in the future to be able to do this though.
Dan Willard
The hotkey change was done on purpose. You can change it back if you want by editing the Hotkeys.ini file.
There are some instructions in this article that show you how to edit that file.
3 Things we have notice.
First - When we use the arrows to pass slides it only pass at the main output, we have to use the mouse to pass both outputs (alt and main).
Second - It happining when I drag feed bg into songs in schedule, every time I pass slides it load the bg again, causing my screen showing a black bg then load my live cameras tha I recive by NDI as a bg, it is happining for each slide I select.
Third - Presentesion only appears in Main output, it don´t appears in Alt output.

I installed the latest beta version and have since uninstalled the beta version. After I uninstalled the beta version, I can no longer double click on the saved schedules and launch Easyworship and open saved schedule. I can however open Easyworship and navigate to the saved schedules to open a particular file. It seems the file associate was lost when the beta was uninstalled. How can I fix this problem and is the problem a common issue?
Williboxcar, I would just do a repair install of EW to see if that restores it. Or go into Windows settings and restore the association to the file name extension to the version of EW installed.
Go to Settings - Apps - Default Apps - Choose default apps by file type, scroll down to .ewsx, and select Easyworship 7 as your default app to open it.

Hi!
If you click on HELP//ABOUT EW let me know which build you are currently on.

Williboxcar If you reinstall the EasyWorship update for 7.2.3.0, the issue should be resolved. Try reinstalling that update from https://ewsoftware.blob.core.windows.net/installers/EasyWorship-7.2.3.0.exe
Please excuse my ignorance but we are still fairly fresh to Easy Worship - How do I differentiate between outputs? IE: I want a full screen for a our main output but I only want lower 3rds to go out for our Alternative output. Thanks everyone! We are very excited and thankful for all the hard work everyone is putting into this!

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.
