Media Shout

[BlueShift]

All the big UK Christian events I go on like Soul Survivor use it (well they did last time I went).

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

We use presenter for the festivals to do the song words and then the camera feeds are mixed in an OB truck and then an MX50 is used to key the output of the PC (running presenter) on top.

 

However, at the church we are now moving to media shout to help integrate the media vision a little better into a single product.

 

It is a nice product - and although it doesnt do song words quite as well as presenter does, it is much better at the whole integrated media concept.

 

And although new-wine use words of worship, at soul survivor we are long time presenter fans and have been using that for a while.

 

Cheers

MediaShout va3 IS out, but man it is FULL of bugs. It also seems more complex (needlessly so) in certain areas. Stick to 2.5 if I were you, it isn't worth the hassel upgrading yet.

btw - soul survivor don't use it - they use presenter from hillsongs

 

check out openlp - it's free and I think they're releasing a new version soon - http://www.openlp.org

I am just about to start the process of buying media shout for my church.. do you think we should wait till the next versions out? are upgrades free?

 

what do you think of it overall? what sort of spec machine do you need to run it (using powerpoint/videos/dvds..etc)

 

thanks
