Importing MS6 scripts & Lyric formatting?

Hey Dan! <br /> <br /> Here is an article that walks you through the process of bringing over your Song Library and your media and things: <a href="https://support.mediashout.com/950910-Making-the-Upgrade-to-MediaShout-7">https://support.mediashout.com/950910-Making-the-Upgrade-to-MediaShout-7</a><br /> <br /> Yes, the ability to import v6 scripts will be coming soon! I apologize about the inconvenience for that.<br /> <br /> We do, however, usually recommend that you build a new Script in the new version of MediaShout anyway. But, we do still want the ability to be able to bring over a v6 script if needed in a pinch.<br /> <br /> Have a Blessed day!<br /> <br /> -Ryan

Hey Dan!<br /> <br /> Ah, I see. This isn't possible, unfortunately. MediaShout 7 will only accept the content of the songs. Then, you would need to add a background and make your adjustments within MediaShout 7. I apologize about this.<br /> <br /> When the Import a V6 Script feature is added, you will then have the ability to bring in a MediaShout 6 script and save your Lyric cue's to the cue's library. That will save the background and everything for next time you need this song.<br /> <br /> I don't see an email from your in our inbox. But, what I have seen so far is that there is just one or two songs within the library that are causing the issue. If you can narrow it down and determine which songs are the problem, you can delete it and then import the rest with no issue.<br /> <br /> When I did my troubleshooting, I would just take a part of the library (A-F, G-M, etc.). Then, if one doesn't import, I would narrow it down further and further until there are just a few songs.<br /> <br /> I hope this is helpful!<br /> <br /> -Ryan

Hey All!<br /> <br /> Aaron West here (Director of Product Development). The plan is once we have the V6 Scripts import done, you will also have a way to import your V6 lyrics direct to the Cues Library in V7 (which will contain all formatting, backgrounds, etc.) that carry over. Be aware that there may be some configurations or settings that don't carry over (i.e. not all of the transitions are the same, so we will do our best to select a close matching one). But at least you will be able to get 98% (100% for most users) of what you have in V6 into V7. Because it is a completely different format as well as code base (which has significant improvements over previous script files), it does have some loss of functionality that is not possible to overcome. This all goes back to our desire to make sure that V7 is stable - period. There were things in V6 and previous versions (that I'm sure many of you experienced) that were great features, but caused stability issues. WIth V7, we don't add a feature unless we are confident in its ability to not negatively affect stability. That's why we are working very carefully on some of these more advanced tools to bring your V6 scripts into V7. Thanks for your patience as we work to get it right.<br /> <br /> Be blessed!<br /> <br /> Aaron West, Director of Product Development.

Hey Mike! <br /> <br /> Sure, I understand. We will send out emails when the Import V6 Scripts is ready!<br /> <br /> Our Features Page shows some Features that are Coming Soon. <a href="http://www.mediashout.com/features">www.mediashout.com/features</a><br /> <br /> Thanks!<br /> <br /> -Ryan<br /> <br />

Hi Jack,<br /> <br /> I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying this option wouldn't work for you? If so, can you give me more information about your situation and how that wouldn't work?<br /> <br /> Thanks!<br /> <br /> -Ryan

Jack,<br /> <br /> I apologize. I am having a hard time understanding what you mean. If you have scripts already built that have the songs loaded in them, you will be able to open those in v7 and save them to your Cues Library. I apologize if this would be a lot of work for you. Alternatively, you can import the entire Database and then apply new backgrounds to the songs as you bring them in and present them.<br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> <br /> -Ryan
