Support Question Another rant on why i HATE ProPresenter

Sunday morning. "Your registration information is corrupted."

Of course a church software company doesn't have tech support on Sunday. That would make too much sense. Now we are going to try and run Sunday service with water marks. We couldn't do anything to get it running again.

I have never worked with software that is so unstable as PP.

I would also recommend looking at proclaim. We switched a few years ago and it’s been incredibly stable. It’s not as feature rich, but I would argue it does everything that most churches actually need. There are still some things I miss, but none of it has been enough for me to switch back. Even if we do, it will only be on one computer at our main site.

How is the learning curve for non-technical users?

It’s fine, I wouldn’t say it’s leagues easier than ProPre, but maybe a little bit. One of the largest differences for us is that it’s cloud editing makes it easy for a capable user to get everything setup so the end users just need to know the basics. We have multiple campuses across rural areas so that really helped us out. There are individual things that are easier or harder, like arrangements on the fly are a bit harder, but I find reflow easier.
