Feature Requests

Provide a better way to insert a title page on a song with copyright info, including license.

I would really love to be able to record time triggers. It would help so much when a new person has to fill in. I don’t use lyrics as I import PowerPoint slides, and add audio, so it needs to be available on regular queues. Hey Allen, Thanks so much for passing this along. I'll make sure to let our team know that this is something that you'd like to be added (I've also heard this from quite a few other Churches so you are not alone). Thanks again, -Ryan

When editing a cue and you are adding background graphics it would be helpful if say the last five graphics used would be an option in MS7. Currently I have to sometimes search several folders for a background. Listing the last few used backgrounds would speed up creation time.

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.

Can we have a spell checker in non-american English please - UK or Au would be great. Hey Paul, Thanks for the request! I'll pass it along to the team! Thanks and God Bless, -Ryan

Permit the user to use the Double-Click method to insert the item wanted into a cue. The only option the user has is to select the item and then press the Insert key. Double-clicking the item is more intuitive.

It would be extremely helpful if MS7 brought back the ability to drag an image, video, or other file into the script and automatically create a cue, rather than having to create a blank cue then add the media. Thanks!

A feature suggestion: Please add the possibility of exporting the Announcement loop as a movie (mp4, mov). I currently have to export all the cues as jpegs, import them into powerpoint and then export the looping file as a movie so we can show it via thumb drive in our Narthex before the service.

I love the ability to import songs from Planning Center and link songs within mediashout. However, one of the biggest issues we run into with this integration is the lack of support for the different arrangements that Planning Center supports. When a song is imported to Mediashout, MS only uses the parent song record and not the individual arrangements. There are different versions of popular songs that might use slightly different lyrics or verses, and it would be nice for MS to recognize these...

For a while now, there's been a really irritating quirk that if you don't click away from the edit box and/or go to another slide entirely, saving the cue to the cue library doesn't ACTUALLY save all your work. It saves some of it, but it's inconsistent from the average user's point of view. It's based on MS7 tracking whether you're still editing or not and disincluding any slides "still being edited" from the save functionality. This sometimes translates to a portion of the song or can translat...

MS6 provided the ability to set a Transition In and a Transition Out for objects. MS7.2.8 only provides for the user to set the Transition In for objects. Add a function whereby the user can set the Transition Out for an object. Please add thanks. Hey John, Great suggestion. I'll make sure it is passed along. Although, I believe this was already in the works. :) Thanks, Ryan

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...

It is great that we can now change the size of the thumbnails in Presenter View in MS7. However, the largest size still seems to be too small to read for some of our volunteers. Is it possible to make the thumbnails zoom in to an even larger size?

Really missing the ability to add extra metadata to Songs in the Lyrics Library, and display them with the lyrics when used a Cue. Currently in MS7, the copyright section only includes Song ID, Title, Author, and Copyright. But in previous versions, you could include Hymnal Page numbers, Verse numbers, etc, by linking them to a specific page for display. Now, I have to type those separately, and copy and paste them to new lyrics, but they don't stick with they lyric library itself...unless so...

When I'm in editor view in MS7 I would like to be able to collapse the thumbnails and just see the titles, like I could in MS6 by checking Compact Script View. It would make navigating around to put cues in the right place much easier. On the first que hover over icons (the first one is the fire icon and ends with collapse).

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

When you are searching for a song title, the search box clears every time you switch libraries, forcing you to retype the song title multiple times if you have to search over several libraries. It would be nice if it did not do this. Hey Mark, This is something that has already been mentioned, but I will make sure to bring it up again. Thanks! -Ryan

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...

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.

Since we've moved to streaming our services because of COVID-19 I tried the export to PDF in MS7 and found the following things that differed from what I got when I would print a script in MS6. - The cue titles aren't included. As a handout this would be very useful - If I choose to do anything other than 1x1, a new page is started for each cue, rather than starting the next cue in the next available space on the page. - The quality is MUCH better than what I would get when I printed it to a PDF...
