Feature Requests

Apple (?) has a new photo format called HEIC that are not viewable within v7. Please add that extension as a "shoutable" media format. Thanks.

Please include Title formatting to the Templates. With this, include formatting of the various "tokens" (Title, authors, copyright). This would appear to be an option because you have a "default" Title where each line is different (font = Arial 48; other lines are something like "Arial 20"). If you change the font/text box as a "present", the entire box changes to the new font. The title text box size/position also can't be saved.

When creating a script, the only cue/page view is the active page. It would be much better to have all the thumbnails in the entire cue visible to see what needs to be changed when editing lyrics. I'm attaching two pictures - one with v6 that shows all the pages in the cue. The second is v7 which shows only 1 page (albeit, this specific cue only has 1 page, but it's still shows what I mean). The current v7 edit view is not user-friendly (also when too many cues are in the script, it there's not ...

For both importing V6 scripts and V7 scripts created on another computer, lyrics should be added to the library automatically. I realize we can add V7 lyrics to the "Cue Library", but it would be useful if the lyrics would also go into the lyric database as well. With regards to importing v6, it would be helpful if v6 lyric cues came in as v7 lyric cues, rather than as a "text" cue.

Please include the option to drag and drop PPT files into the script. Either include a popup window to ask "how" to insert (image or presentation) or include an option under Settings for a default to insert as either of those (hot key of Ctrl to change to the other).

As you continue to improve "media" presentations, please consider options for integrating web and streaming service options to the list. DVD and web cues were both removed in version 7. I understand that DVDs may not be as popular (or perhaps even using clips in sermons), but having some options for streaming (youtube, netflix, etc.) and presenting web-based presentations (Google slides, too) would be helpful.

Since you can put the Bible chapter and verse on the page, I would expect you could also include Bible version. Please add that to the reference information.

Previous versions of MediaShout allowed for "verse" name and "Page" number to be listed as an object. It appears that the Bible Cue allows for the Chapter and Verse to be listed AND it's a constant across the pages. If you move it on one page, it moves on the other pages. Therefore, it appears that the programmers have been able to pull out certain data in the databases and code that onto the pages. It would seem that lyric information could also be added in a similar way. Thanks for considering...

In previous versions, there was an option to set where the cue was located - the options were Top, Middle, or As Needed. Currently, MS7 only keeps the active cue at the bottom of the screen. If it's not possible for both "editor" screen or "playback" screen, it would be very useful on the "playback" screen.

Being able to categorize images and videos into folders instead of scrolling through them all would be a nice feature. Hey Shannon, Thanks for your request! I can confirm that we do plan to add Folders and Sub-Folders to the Library section. As you said, this will make it much eaier to organize this library section. We hope to have that in an update coming soon. Thanks! -Ryan This question was answered 6 months ago with "hope to have that in an update coming soon". Any idea how much longer ...

I'd like the ability to add a layer to the lyric cue and have it show on every page in that cue. During the song played for communion we have an additional graphic we put up in the corner that has information about communion. Currently to add this I have to copy and paste the image onto every page in the Lyric cue. I'd like to be able to add a layer and choose to have it added to all the pages, similar to the way the title layer is available on all pages. I'd also like this to be available in th...

When you turn on Presenter View, the Main/Stage Display Toggle on the bottom of the app goes away. I'd really like to be able to toggle back and forth while staying in presenter view. Hey Tim, I see what you mean with how the Display Main/Stage goes away. Can you give me an example of why you would want to flip over to the Stage Display during Presenter View? This is really only used to flip over to make edits to the Stage. Let me know how you would use it so I can pass it on to our team and l...

I sometimes edit and create on different computers. It would be helpful to have a profile that would follow me for all my presets and other options that I use. Now it just takes more time to make changes where having a profile with all my favorites would be handy.

We use the stage display for lower thirds lyrics--which is great--but we lose the capability of using the true stage display features. Please add support for a fourth display on Windows 10/11.

I see all the shortcuts available in MS7, but I don't see a way to jump a cue number. Example: Worship Leader provides a list of several songs which are added to the script, but wants to be able to use any song at any time. (Granted: this is poor planning. It isn't needed very often.)

I see that all the possible Bibles are in the list, WOW! Over half of these Bibles will never be used by us so V7 needs to let the User manage which Bibles are visible. In V6 the User could Add or Delete Bibles which was great, a nice short list to pick from each service.

PLEASE add Page Break to normal text boxes as well as Lyric and Bible boxes. I frequently cut and paste a call to worship, and have to manually copy and paste the text. It would be MUCH easier to just add a Page Break as needed. Hey Mark, I will pass this along. Just to be sure, you're only seeing this issue with text boxes that have been manually added. Is that correct? -Ryan That is correct. The "Page Break" only works on bible and lyric boxes. Additionally, the behavior of the "Apply Fo...

The behavior of this selection seems to be inconsistent. Sometimes it comes right up, sometimes you have to click off the text box and back, sometimes it remains greyed out and doesn't work at all. Can we please look into this? Hey Mark, Yes, this is something that we will improve with each update. I have found the best option is to click off of the text box first, then right-click onto it and you'll find what you need that way. I'll pass this along to the team! -Ryan The issue seems to be...

I'd like the ability to select multiple cues and change their background when I drag a new background to any of the selected cues. Currently if I select multiple cues and drag a background it only updates the one that I drop it on. This is different from the option currently available that changes all the backgrounds in the script.

I use a networked drive for media, so I would prefer to have the option for the Cues Library to be saved as .sc7 instead of .sc7x files. The way it works right now, when I pull in a cue from the Cues Library the media gets put into the "Script_Media" folder. Then I delete the folder for my script in "Script_Media" and relink the "Missing Media" to my network drive. It would also be nice to set the folder to search in for Missing Media and all the links would be updated to that folder instead of ...
