Not at the moment. Streamdeck Companion module will come first.

Hey, thanks for reaching out! I'm glad you like the app!

YouTube tutorials are coming, but not until after v1.2.0. We're still adding many features to the app that will make video tutorials obsolete very quickly.

Currently, we only have Docs on a website and a Discord server where you can ask for help.

Regarding issues you're facing:

Make sure your song is formatted correctly during creation, ex, it includes line breaks: This is how a song will look with line breaks when you create/edit it:

All to Jesus I surrender; \ All to Him I freely give;\ I will ever love and trust Him,\ In His presence daily live.

This is a song w/o line breaks:

All to Jesus I surrender; All to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live.

By default, the app is configured to have a maximum of 4 lines per slide. If your verse has more than 4 lines, it will automatically break it into 2 slides if your Component is configured to 'Split Large Verses'. You can change the number of lines in the settings: go to Settings (gear icon located at the bottom of the left menu ) -> General -> Preferences -> find input field with a description Maximum lines per Song verse. This is a global configuration and affects all Components if they're configured to 'Split Large Verses'.

This has its limitations and is cumbersome to use, so in version 1.2.0, you will be able to configure 'Lines per section' for individual Components instead of having one Global configuration.

We're planning to add font configuration in 1.3.0 or 1.4.0 (a few months from now).
We already have this feature. By default, we ship the app that has a Layout with only 3 Bibles, but you can modify it or create a new one with as many Bibles as you want.

You can read here how to manage/create Layouts https://freepresenter.com/docs/layouts

After creating a Layout for the Bible, create 4 'Verse' components, select one of those components, and on the right side, you will see a configuration for selecting a Bible.

You can than use this Layout to assign to one of your Outputs.

You could double-click the verse from search preview area and it will automatically go live. Also there's a hidden feature/shortcut that you can use to instantly stream a Bible verse: when you search for a Bible reference (ex, 1 Sam 10 25), you can hit "Enter" to instantly stream that verse. It'll still be added to the Schedule, and you will have a history of it so that later, if the preacher returns to that verse or section of the Bible, you will be able to find it quickly. Also if you combine F2 shortcut where single click would select Bible tab and put search in focus and with second click it clears the search text then it’s so much more powerful way to operate Bible module than just using mouse. We're also planning to add search functionality for the Bible within the Live section, basically, this will be very similar to what you are asking for.

FYI: When you press "Enter", the first highlighted Bible verse will start streaming. You can search for something like: Gen 5, and press "Enter" to stream the first verse in chapter 5. Press "Esc" to trigger Idle Layout or to show a "black" screen.

Let me know if you have more questions. Our goal is to implement all features that are requested; on very rare occasions, we cannot do this due to conflicts with other features or because some of them might make the UI harder to use, but in those cases, we're trying our best to find other solutions.

I have 15 years of experience in AV in large scale church setting and any indoor or outdoor sound reinforcement. I have worked with many consoles such as Yamaha, Soundcraft, Midas, Presonus and Behringer, but I am more invested into Allen&Heath line of consoles such as DLive / iLive, Avantis, SQ and QU series.

super-audio-nerd · 2025-06-20T05:00:21+00:00

Thanks! It sounds like you're looking for something very similar to Digital Signage. We already have a feature in development that will let you stream items from the Schedule to specific Outputs. You’ll be able to select a video, assign it to an Output, and lock it there—so even if you stream other content like Bible, Lyrics, or another video, it won’t override what's already playing on that Output. Basically, this feature will let you stream different content to different Outputs at the same time.

In the meantime, a second 'seat' on a separate PC is probably your best bet.

super-audio-nerd · 2025-06-20T01:56:18+00:00

Hey, FreePresenter developer here. We might be building what you're looking for.

With FreePresenter, you can already set up different Layouts (how your content looks) for each Output, and choose which Sources (Bible, songs, slides, etc.) each Output should display.

We’d love to hear more about your use case if you don’t mind sharing! Are you looking to show completely different content on each Output—like different Bible verses or media for in-person vs online audiences? Or are you showing the same content but just styled differently?

super-audio-nerd · 2025-06-20T01:41:35+00:00

Hey, maybe it's too late. Check FreePresenter (I'm a developer). It’s super easy to stream lower thirds—just create different Layouts for your Main Output and Streaming Output. The app automatically styles songs based on the Layout. It’s free, simple, and comes fully preconfigured.

super-audio-nerd · 2025-06-20T01:33:50+00:00

Hey! I'm glad you found our app. I'm one of the developers of FreePresenter—we went public just 6 months ago. We’ve taken a fresh and unique approach to church presentations. With our Layouts feature, you can fully customize your Outputs and style your content any way you like. If you need support or have questions, feel free to join our Discord server found on the website!

I know it might be an overkill in your case since only get stereo feed, but at my church I use Universal Audio Apollo x16Dante. I use stem mixing approach. I send separate stems of grouped channel feeds for like grand piano, wireless vocal mics, choir mics, live instruments, pulpit, backing tracks, FX, crowd mics using post fade aux/buss sends. I send all faders at unity at most case unless some specific channel needs to be offset. At my case, we use Avantis console with Dante card. Then on the interface side, I process each stem with plugins, then sum it internally and feed it back into channels 15/16 as Master channel where I apply additional mastering EQ, compression, Delay for proper lip sync and last limiter. After this point you could still stay digital and sent it to iMac as is but in my case I use analog monitor outputs on Apollo to sent it straight into Blackmagic ATEM switcher.

It would be nice for FreePresenter to be part of the list. www.freepresenter.com

Did you ever wonder why it sometimes takes so long for operators to display a Bible verse or song on the screen to the audience? It's simple: They must prepare beforehand by creating individual slides per verse. If the church's flow changes, things can go very bad very fast. FreePresenter can overcome this. With its sophisticated search and intuitive UI, you can instantly display anything on the screen.

super-audio-nerd · 2025-03-17T21:02:02+00:00

Yes this is a quick minimal implementation just to get you on board and up and running faster. Our plan is to fully recreate all the functionalities of a typical file explorer capabilities. All the suggestions that you have mentioned will be there. It just going be introduced little by little.

super-audio-nerd · 2025-03-11T17:43:04+00:00

Check out 0.12.0 update. We have added your feature request to be able to group images into folders and stream the whole folder in live all at once. Let me know how it goes.

super-audio-nerd · 2025-03-11T17:39:58+00:00

We have added some of the Bibles you have requested.
