Above, you see the overall ProPresenter User Interface. Now, let's take a look at each piece of the interface. 

Toolbar

The toolbar has been updated with a new cleaner look and the buttons have a fixed layout. Here are the buttons included in the toolbar along with their given function (moving from left to right).

Search - The search button will allow you to search your libraries or the SongSelect database when logged into SongSelect.

Text - The text button allows you to format the text for your selected slides adjusting the settings for font, alignment, stroke, and shadow.

Theme - The theme button allows you to apply templates and styles to your selected presentation or create new ones.

Show/Edit/Reflow/Bible/More Modes - These buttons will allow you to switch which mode is displayed. You click the button for the mode you want to work in. 

• Show is the mode where you actually run the presentation to your output.  This will show the slides themselves in either Grid View, Table View or Easy View.  You can learn more about the different View options here.
• Edit is the standard ProPresenter Editor area where you can create and edit your slide content
• Reflow is our Reflow Editor that allows you to edit the slide text for a presentation, but it is editing the slides in real-time.
• Bible is our Bibles section.  You can find more information on using the Scriptures inside of the software here.
• More is a drop-down menu that offers quick access to the other editors in the software which include the Stage Editor, Theme Editor, CCLI Editor, Props Editor, and Masks Editor. 

ProContent- This button will toggle open/closed the online ProContent library within your Media Bin

Media - The Media button is used to show or hide the Media Bin.

Looks- This Moustache/Glasses icon allows you to quickly choose your active look.

Live- The Live button allows you to start or stop a capture and open the Capture Settings. 

Audience/Stage- These buttons allow you to toggle on/off system screens setup as audience or stage screens (note that SDI or NDI screens are always on and cannot be turned off)

Notifications- Click this button to open the feed of the latest notifications about your ProPresenter Account and the latest product updates. 

Status- Here you can see the currently active account (and open Account Settings by clicking on this), see the active workspace, and pause/restart the Media Manager. 

Note:  When the “Show House of Worship Integrations” option is unchecked in the General tab of  ProPresenter Preferences you will see the Bible and Store buttons removed from the Toolbar. 

Libraries/Playlists

On the left side of the updated user interface, you will see two sections that feature your libraries and playlists. The top left area is the outline view which contains the libraries and playlists you have created. Just below that is the detail view that shows the contents of the library or playlist you have selected in the outline view. The outline view is collapsable and also features a navigation drop-down menu when it is collapsed.

You can find more information about using libraries and playlists in these related articles:

Slide View

The center section of the interface features the slides for a particular presentation or playlist that you have highlighted when in show mode. In this section, you can click to display the slide live to your screen as well as add slides, transitions, arrangements, operator notes, and timelines similar to previous versions of the software.

You can also assign a presentation to the Announcement Layer. When a presentation is assigned to display on the Announcement Layer, the presentation destination target will be green and the slide indicator will also turn green when a slide in the presentation is live. 

You can find out more information about the Announcement Layer here.

In the bottom right of the interface (above the media bin if that is open) you can choose between three view options: Grid, Easy, and Outline Views. You can also click the three dot menu button to customize these view modes. Finally, you can use the slider to adjust the size of the slides in the slide view area. 

You can find out more about View Modes here.

ProContent and the Media Bin

When toggled open, the bottom section of the interface is reserved for ProContent and the Media Bin.

The ProContent section shows you a "New" Collection at the top where you can view the latest motion graphic packs along with other collections below. You can also use the search feature underneath the "ProContent" header to search ProContent for something specific. The ProContent section is collapsible and also features a navigation drop-down menu when it is collapsed.

Note: There is a free and premium ProContent account and you can subscribe to ProContent Premium from within your account dashboard at accounts.renewedvision.com. ProContent Free is included with all active ProPresenter subscriptions. 

The Media Bin houses your video and image content along with any live video inputs you may have. The left column of the media bin is reserved for playlists and playlist folders. There is also a dedicated playlist for your video input cues.

The playlist column is collapsible and also features a navigation drop-down menu when it is collapsed.

At the bottom of the media bin you can change the default global transition for media actions, filter media content in a selected media bin playlist, switch between grid and list views for the media bin, and use the slider to change the size of the cues in the media bin.

Preview Window/Clear Cues

This window displays the content that is playing live to your screens and there is a drop-down menu directly below the window which allows you to switch between which screen you are viewing.

Directly to the right of the preview window, you will find the clear groups button which will clear the layers you have chosen to group into that clear from your screen (by default this will clear ALL layers and can be edited by right clicking-Configure Clear Groups). Then to the right of the clear groups button, you will find individual clear buttons for each layer. The clear buttons stacked order is also reflective of the order the layers are stacked on your screen. 

The screen layers are listed below from the top-most to bottom-most layer:

Audio
Messages
Props
Announcements
Slide
Media
Live Video

Below the Preview window is the screen drop-down indicator along with the transport controls. The transport controls allow you to see the playback of your slide and media layers. You can scrub to another point during playback and also have buttons for advancing 15 secs, going back 15 sec, and going to the end. The go-to-end button can be adjusted by right-clicking on it where you will have the option to edit for how many seconds from the end you want to jump to in the playback (-0, -10, -30, -60, -90).

The transport controls can also be toggled to see your playback controls for the Announcement and Audio Layers as well.
