My church has been using FreeShow for almost a year now and have debated on switching to ProPresenter many times. However, we don’t see the need as FreeShow does everything we need. I have recommended it to so many people who have used it for many events, like high school graduations. Every Sunday, I get excited when I see that there’s a new update. Thanks for making such a great piece of software.
@@konstantinslobodyanyuk838 Here is a guide on how to show parallel scriptures: freeshow.app/docs/scripture#create-a-collection If you imported a local file, the book names displays the names from the xml file. You can change them manually by editing the file in the Documents/FreeShow/Bibles folder, open the .fsb files in Notepad.
Both of them changes at once, but only the first bible in the selection shows preview currently. They will automatically be assigned to the first and second textbox in the selected template.
@@konstantinslobodyanyuk838 To swap the order, you need to create a new collection, but select the other one first instead. The text in the templates will be replaced, the default templates are "Scripture", if you don't have them try to press "Reset defaults", it should be selected automatically. The arranged order of the textboxes in the template determines which content goes where.
Thanks! YES! 😄 You have to select two or more scriptures, right click, and create a new collection. A collection behaves simular to just having one bible, but outputs all the different versions in the collection. See more here: freeshow.app/docs/scripture
thank you so much for the software but i am having trouble removing a certain tab while presenting the lyrics. 1 verse or page is divided in each line of presentation.
Downloaded it tomorrow. We are having our big mid year camp tomorrow and this is going to be great! We use PP7 for Sunday but we can't use those Computers for Camp so this is amazing. If you added ndi and resi support, we would probably switch haha.
Thank you! 😄 You can add folders from the computer to the drawer, or just drag any media directly from the computer into the project or onto slides. See more here: freeshow.app/docs/media
my another problem is while presenting the scripture by using certain templates only chapter name and verse is shown in projector. the verse is shown only in bottom pr5eview but not in upper preview and projector screen. please help. Thank You!!
Are you using the default "Scripture" template, and pressed the present "play" button? You can try pressing "New show", and see if that works better.

Thanks you!! How to fix, when i import PPTX, Free Show change slide on PPTX. Slide 1, and next slide 11, 12, 13,.......19 and then slide 2, 20, 21, 22, 23.... on Free Show
Wait. I just fond this. I have dreamed of providing an alternative just like this. Can't wait to dive in more. Have you done a podcast or anything to share the story?
When creating shows I’m having trouble finding the lyrics, when I press the search button it just loads continuously and doesn’t find the song. We’re connected to the internet and allowed freeshow exe to have access to the internet, do you have any suggestions?
When adding the MIDI action, did you find the correct input? Also I guess the action is set to "Next slide", but does it work when you activate the action manually by clicking on it?
@@freeshowapp I believe I found the right input, it was reading my laptop as the input source just like pro presenter does. And yes, I set the action to “next slide” and nothing happens. Lately I’ve been having issues with pro presenter on a few events where it would freeze on me or crash (doesn’t happen all the time but it has happened at random times), the midi feature not working on FreeShow is the only thing that’s holding me back from doing a full switch in order to let go of pro presenter for good.
Hi, when I try to bulk import pp7 files (more than 200 at a time), FreeShow will become not responsive/freeze for maybe 5 minutes then a window will pop up and says "Importing" together with a correct icon button to click but the files were not imported. This is one of the bug? Because my church is a bilingual church and we have over 1500 of lyrics that we have kept in PP7 and if I am to do it one by one I afraid it will take a decade. 😂😂 EDIT: Been loving the UI, responsiveness and everything is very close to what I used to on pp7 but currently just trying figure a way to import all the lyrics at once.
hey, im wondering if theres any way i can change the link in which i get the lyrics from because genius doesn’t have a lot of the Spanish lyrics because at my church we sing Spanish songs so yeah
No, it's not that easy. You will have to find and copy the lyrics manually from other sites currently. But it should be easy to just paste the text after you have found the lyrics.
Wonderful software! Thank you so much for the work you are doing! Is there by chance the possibility of synchronizing the slides with a timecode/smpte in external audio input? Thanks again!
Thank you! Not sure about that. What would be the use case for this, and how should the integration look? Maybe if the SMPTE can be converted into MTC, and read as MIDI: jazz-soft.net/doc/JZZ/smpte.html
@@freeshowapp The idea would be to receive an external SMPTE audio input (for example via a sound card or simple integrated microphone input of a PC) and indicate at what point in the timecode you switch to a certain slide. Or alternatively, as you suggested, using a SMPTE to MIDI converter, always say that at a certain point in the timecode it sends the MIDI signal that switches to the next slide. I hope I was able to make the concept understandable
this application is simply brilliant, but there aren't enough tutorials on how to use it. Would it be possible to have a tutorial on how to transmit the software to a television set?
Great program, super user friendly, thank you. Though it runs well most the time, the program can lock up. When adding images sometimes it'll do this, it won't respond to anything and in task manage doesn't say it isn't responding. Also when changing text size, sometimes the numbers will glitch out constantly increasing or decreasing. The only way I have found to resolve either of these is to use task manager. Just thought I'd mention it, I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this or if it is something already aware of.
@@freeshowapp Oh wow, sorry for the late reply, the update is great thank you! I do have one question, is it possible to transfer a project with images and video intact to another computer? Or atleast is there a way to set the files so transfer would be easier without having to readd any images?
This is a great app! But I noticed when I try to have a welcome loop in the beginning I put a picture and two videos that are like 30 seconds long, when I click on the picture after timer it goes to the video, then once it goes to a video it will not go to a next slide. I probably am doing something wrong. Is there a way to go to next slide with a video and not just a picture automatically? Thanks! And again, Thanks for this cool app!
I have, but it won't seem to go to the next video, I tried taking off loop but it will just stop after the video is played. Thanks so much for your help! @@freeshowapp
Hi, thank you. If you select multiple scriptures that are imported on the left in the drawer, right click them and click "Create collection", this way you can use it like normal, but it will output multiple.
Okay. I do have two more questions. Thank you so much for your prompt responses! 1) Is it possible for me to present the verses in a different way instead of horizontally? For example, I have 3 languages that I'd like to present at once. Currently, the default is 3 text boxes in a horizontal shape with a certain text size and font. If I want to edit these to be vertical boxes with smaller text, would that be possible? 2) I have accidentally pressed the "Present (Ctrl +0)" a couple of time while experimenting. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to exit from that. It makes my whole screen black. I have tried to press Ctrl + 0, Esc, and click around, but I've had to force close to app. I'm sure you've designed a different way to get out of the Present mode. Just can't find it. @@freeshowapp
Thanks. 1. You can edit the scripture temple in the drawer, or add new ones to style them however you want. 2. You should be able to press Ctrl+O (not 0) again to close before clicking anywhere. Or you can just double click the window to close.
I just found this app and I want to try it next Sunday. Can I have the Bible work offline? Like download it somewhere because my church might not have internet connection during services
@@MartinKarari Okay, go to the "Scripture" tab in the drawer, then click "New scripture" in the bottom left, then choose the type you have under "Or import your own", and select the xml file.
Love the software but there are two things that could possibly make it better (for my experience): 1 / Bug fix: When you underline the Header/Version of the scriptures and change the color, the underline is black and I can't change it. 2 / Feature: When you make the scriptures with the Header/Version they are both spaced apart.

@@freeshowapp what i meant by that was the title being linked to the body of the scripture. A example of this is the google slide i made talking about it. Link: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C417Zmr5BxrqbEvwlVFvh5KO-sAGERjB0cKQLf46-BM/edit?usp=sharing
1. Looks like having outline enabled, the underline will be the same color as the outline. I can't do anything about that. But by setting the outline to 0 the underline shows the correct text color. 2. I made it so if the template only has one textbox, the version text will be added on top of the text as you showed, and then it will get the correct style from the first line as well. Update very soon!
I have not used vMix. But when you have enabled "NDI" on the output in FreeShow you should be able to find the output in vMix under "NDI / Desktop Capture" (at least on Windows). And if not I guess you can use the "Local Desktop Capture" option!
Thanks. 😊 Here's a guide I found online on how to record window capture in OBS: www.dacast.com/blog/how-to-use-obs-professional-video-streaming-3/#how_to_use_obs_studio_window_capture Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding FreeShow.
@@catner70 You have to click on the button in the top right, so it turns red. Then the output window is live, and you should be able to find it in OBS. You can also turn off "Always on top" in settings if you want.
