Now that MediaShout 7 is out, the updates will be few for MediaShout 6- only on an as needed basis. Users can run on the one they have if they want but we do always encourage you to move up to the newer builds when it's convenient, to take advantage of all the improvements. Hey Keith! Thanks for the positive review and insight! You're right those builds are updates for the program where we release improvements, new features, etc. Tech support is available and developers will work ASAP on any reported issue. V7 has nothing in it that was repackaged from the past.
As for stability, we've had a few hurdles, but it's been an impressively smooth new release-much more stable than previous versions right off the bat, and issues we've had have been with very small groups and specific systems. With that said, there are things about the heart of MediaShout that we want to stay in the workflow.we're always open to feedback on those. Tech support has had less "how do I" questions than ever because things seem to make more sense. We broke out of the box of limitations on a lot of things. But the basics are where the majority of users do think things are easier and quicker. In streamlining & rebuilding MediaShout in Version 7, a lot was simplified, and we're still releasing some of the more advanced features over the next several months. In reworking the software, they have made many changes that practical usage very difficult and time consuming. MS7 is missing many of the features that were found in previous releases. It is powerful, if you are willing to go through multiple steps to get your presentations the way you want them. It is also marketed as "powerful presentations made easy." There is nothing easy about this program. I upgraded over a month ago and it crashes or locks up weekly. MS7 was rebuilt from the ground up and is marketed as being more stable than other versions. MediaShout has always had lots of potential, but issues are many.
So far, I can't really say that there are a lot of pros to this release. Tired of them repackaging the same program with the same problems. However, Versions 5, 6, and now 7 are so riddled with problems that I have decided I will not invest any more money in this software.
Mediashout updates software#
And the software used a lot of system resources, so we had to make extra sure nothing was running in the background.Ĭomentarios: I have been a loyal MediaShout user since they began. We had issues editing slides on the fly and when things went sideways in the service, it was difficult to see all the slides at a glance to jump ahead or behind within the same window like Propresenter.
Mediashout updates pro#
Media shout did a lot of advanced features compared to powerpoint but wasn't as advanced as pro presenter. Mediashout let us expand our capabilities outside of Powerpoint and incorporate more media into our services, which helped us keep our congregation engaged. We did this in advance, saved the files, and went live on Sundays. Our staff and volunteers were able to setup Sunday morning services and everything that needed to be on the screens. Mediashout provided us with advanced presentation options for our church, giving us lyrics, slides, transitions, media playing capability, and verse sharing on the screens throughout our sanctuary. And the ease of adding multiple media sources like audio and video gave us new avenues to share more content with our live audience. Additionally we could automate some slides like our announcements to run on a timer until we were ready to proceed. We were able to not only have lyrics on the screen, but give them a wide variety of backgrounds and animations. Comentarios: Mediashout let us create a more engaging service for our guests and congregation.
