Something that I encountered when I was working in church media every day was a staff member or pastor that would make their own presentation for their message. (it will still cost based on your storage capacity but MediaShout isn’t charging you for it.) MediaShout however, connects directly to Dropbox, an app that most organizations and people in general are already using. On ProPresenter it’ll cost you between $12-$480 a year for that service.
Both MediaShout and ProPresenter have cloud storage native to their base program. MediaShout on the other hand, has all 67 versions for free in the base version.Ĭloud storage is the future of computing, everything is going to the cloud. That alone puts it over ProPresenter in my mind.ĭoes your pastor want to use a certain version of the Bible in his sermons? If you own ProPresenter, you might have to buy it for $15, they have 46 for free but if want use of any of the other 21 versions (for a grand total of 67), $15 per version please. In MediaShout this function is native in the base version. MediaShout has a wider range of features in the base product than ProPresenter does.ĭo you have multiple displays? Perhaps you are wanting to upgrade in the near future to use some different displays than a regular projector or TV Screen and/or want the ability show off some great graphics across multiple displays? If you have ProPresenter, it’s a $199 upgrade to get the “module” that does what you need. In my research, including actual extensive use of both products I believe that MediaShout is the better of the two. Conversation over right? Perhaps, but let’s think a bit more about this decision. ProPresenter 6 is “The Definitive Choice in Presentation software” it comes with the recommendation of Worship Leader Magazine among others over the 3 years and multiple awards. A certain way of doing things should be implemented because it is the best way of doing it, instead of the fact that the “movers and shakers” in the community do it that way.Īt first glance, the choice we are presented with when it comes to presentation software is easy. I have always been resistant to trends, personally. A certain style of video production or graphic design, a specific software platform or operating system. One application or method is extremely popular for a period of time and it is adopted by nearly everyone. When it comes to church media, things tend to run in trends.
