Feature Requests

Please make it possible to directly input the video start/stop as in 4.5. I do not yet see it in the wish list. Hey there! This is currently available in MediaShout 7. Get with our team (support@mediashout.com) and we can walk you through this. Thanks! -Ryan

In prior versions, text outline operated differently. We would use it to make sure text stood out regardless of variations in a given background. For example, if the background has a white section, then white letters would be impossible to read. But with a black outline to give contrast, all was well. That has changed with version 7. Currently, the text outline option is applied inside the letters, so an outline of a certain size completely fills in the letter to the point where the original col...

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...

Earlier versions synced the Bible reference to the stage from the main which was great. I know we can use tokens but they can't be centered or arranged in any way. It would be great if that ability could be reinstated.

In addition to the previous request to show counters on timed slides - it would be REALLY useful if the counters for videos were right there on the viewer or in the presenter screen as well, so you don't have to go looking for it. A feature I have on other products - a count DOWN timer - is very helpful too. Hey Mark, Thanks! I'll pass this along for you again! Thanks again, -Ryan I did find if you go to the Fire Control Plugin and select the video tab, it will display the video with a timer...

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 would like to save our announcement loop cue to the Cue Library with the settings applied to that cue. I do see if we set the timer for each slide in the loop, that it would carry that into the Cue Library but it won't save if we have that slide set to skip. We have some slides that we only show periodically and skip the other weeks, but don't want to have to set them to skip each week. Could that setting be saved into the Cue Library. Kind of same thing, but understand this might be more comp...

It would be helpful to sync each cue to the staging monitor with one click for entire script rather than clicking each cue. That way everything is there for stage and adjustments can then be made. Hey there, Yes, this is something we have planned to add into MediaShout 7 in a future update. Thanks! -Ryan

Provide a better way to insert a title page on a song with copyright info, including license. I would like this also. I manually create Title pages for lyric cues.

We would like to be able to add several versions of the Bible to our library and choose one version as our default. It seems that the only way to do that currently is to add the default version last. If there is already a way to do this, I'd love to know. Thanks!

I love the toggle remote feature. Our new pastor likes to control a powerpoint during his sermon, and the toggle remote feature keeps the DSAN remote from accidentally triggering cues during the rest of the service while it's in his pocket/etc. What would be incredible is if, instead of going into the menus during his sermon and toggling remote - then needing to remember to toggle it off after the sermon (I am putting comment reminders for the operator in the script right now), we could instead ...

I've been trying to make a liturgical cue, basically 3 calls and responses.They are short, but the last two responses take two lines at 60 pt. (I'm using 60pt Arial for readability). I tried to space the lines 1.2, but I got a blank page. When I reverted back to single line, I retained the blank page. Can it be deleted? While I've got three layers on the first page, only the 1st layer shows up on the blank page. Often I get the same thing happening on lyrics, where once a stanza has overlapped o...

I think what is requested in suggestion line is what is needed. It seems to be much more difficult to create a multipage text cue in MS7 than in MS6. We use many multipage text cues, and the process to create them is usually: Create first page, paste all the text into the text box on that page (in MS6, multiple pages are created automatically when there is wrapping), then edit the pages using page breaks to do appropriate pagination. And, apply common formatting to all pages as needed. Hey D...

Add the ability to export Lyrics and Bible Cues in a script to a single text file for review by Worship Leaders. We have a number in our congregation who are visually impaired. They have the ability to create Braille documents but we will need to provide them the text. Being able to export an entire script as text (with an option for repeats etc.) will be huge for them. Hey Mike! This is awesome! We are working on some tools to do exactly what you describe. Stay with us as we work through t...

Add an ability to click once and save multiple lyrics back to the library in a Single Script (when they are not reconciled).

I would like to see a play button or a fire button on the insert lyric and insert bible so you could display quickly without having to add them to the script as a cue.

It would be nice to have the ability to add notes to the individual slides in the cues that only the operator sees, similar to PowerPoint. Notes such as "drum solo this chorus" would be a great help for the sound guy next to me, or "repeat ending possible" for the MS operator.

You can already use audio playlists by importing mp3's or linking to iTunes playlists-- but it would be great to integrate with Spotify or other streaming services for those that have playlists where the mp3 files are not actually saved on the computer.

I would like to ability to start typing the name of the lyric immediately upon entering the "Insert Lyric" Screen instead of pressing the tab button 4 times or using to mouse to select it. This would increase the speed of finding the desired lyric to insert in to your script.
