EasyWorship 8 Beta for Mac and PC
Thank you everyone for your input and feedback on the Beta version of EasyWorship 8. We are drawing very close to the release candidate and will be shifting all updates and comments to our Facebook Users group. This will allow us to get all feedback in one location and since it's a public location, more people will be able to provide that feedback.
If you do have any new feedback or bugs to report, please post them on our Facebook Users Group. You will also find any updates to the beta builds there.
David Adams, We will not be offering a perpetual (One-time-purchase) license. It will be available as subscription only. The subscription cost will include campus license for PCs and Macs.
Ogbodofaith72, thanks for the info. We are aware of a couple of those already, but will make note of the others.
Super exited about the Mac release.
I downloaded the free version and noticed the following
1.The Bible verse stays visible even when the 'show verse' box is unchecked
2. The option freezes, and I have to press escape to remove it from my screen.
3. Regarding the Bible versions, the section displaying the prices vanished after some time.
4. For the free Bible versions, a dropdown menu to download them is not shown
I know that this is primarily a discussion about the Beta, but do you have any indication how licensing will work?
We are a long standing user who has upgraded through the versions and has a perpetual, not subscription License for EW7.
Will the same option be available for EW8?
Thanks for all you do to support our worship services.
David
I am excited to test the new EasyWorship 8 Beta for Mac and PC. This is a highly anticipated release, and I look forward to exploring the latest features and providing valuable feedback on its performance and stability across both operating systems.
Any timeline available for when V8 will go to production?
Hello. Trying to download the beta on an M1 Mac but the link says, This site can't be reached. Are you able to help?
Links in the original post have been updated to the newest BETA build, 8.0.17
Yes, you can use schedules between the PC and Mac versions without any issue
Users can now create, save and open schedules between the two platforms without compatibility issues. royaledle
Hi, I can't get the songs listed even after copying and pasting the profile from my windows PC. The other resources are fine though, I'm using an M1 pro, any fix?
It currently does, but it's only working with up to Ableton version 11. It hasn't been fixed yet to work with version 12.
Will EW8 have midi compatibility with Ableton?
Love the EasyWorship 8 beta so far! The design is modern and sleek while still keeping the elements of its predecessor.
Initially, when I first opened the beta, my data from EW7 was easily copied over. However, there was a glitch with the main, alternate (NDI), and foldback (NDI) screens overlapping one another on my secondary display. Additionally, the main display struggled to fill the screen in its entirety, and going into the screen with the main presenter app open. This was fixed after closing and reopening the app three times.
In the future, it would be nice to see EasyWorship 8 add options for line and letter spacing (kerning). This isn’t really about fixing text issues, but more to do about giving extra flexibility for design - especially when creating thirds, overlays, or sending content through NDI. Having control over spacing would make it easier to style slides in different ways and achieve different styles for lyrics, scripture, and sermon notes.
Additionally, having the ability to choose different transitions for certain items and screens would be quite nice; i.e. with your main output its fading in-between lyrics, scriptures, and notes, while on alternative output (in my case, the NDI screen going to our OBS stream) cutting in between lyrics, fading when going to scriptures, and notes. It would also be cool if you could have the ability to put an image on ONLY the alternative output.
Overall, love the beta so far, and I can't wait for what is to come!
God's blessings.

You are welcome to post about it, but please let us know if it only happened once and you couldn't reproduce it. If you can consistently make something happen that shouldn't happen, or if something doesn't happen that should, please report it as a bug.
If you get a crash report, click on Show Report, then click anywhere in the report and press Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C, and then paste it into a Notepad (txt) file and save it to attach to your post.

We value your input and willingness to try this new version of EasyWorship. Still, we want this thread to be productive and not destructive, so please limit comments to the productivity of making this version ready to release.
As always, this is a BETA version that is not recommended for use in live services.
