I miss the "BOB" option that the Media Shout programs had previously.

Let me shout about Mediashout

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: I am very pleased with the software and think that anyone who needs a quality presenter software should definitely put this on the top of your try list.

Vorteile:

The product is remarkably simple to teach others how to use. The software is very adaptable for systems. I like the fact that it can handle multiple displays so easily.

Nachteile:

Updates can cause the software to delay when loading, which is only a concern when running the software.

Why Shout for MediaShout

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: We have used MediaShout for over a decade.

Vorteile:

1. Price - there is a onetime price vs a monthly/yearly subscription. 2. Features - The version you purchase is yours. While there are free versions of presentation software that are good for a small startup congregation, Media Shout will grow with you and your needs 3. Ease of use - we have successfully trained people from 17 to 65 to use the software comfortably 4. Training - there are a number of simple and quick training videos on YouTube

Nachteile:

Usable copy purchases are somewhat limiting or intimidating. You receive a limited number of activations at time of purchase. The full version trial program helps to ensure that the PC you are putting it on is really ready. I always recommend using an up-to-date PC with higher specs than required.

Media Shout 7 Integration

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: An excellent company to deal with

Vorteile:

It was from a trusted and tried company who we have used for previous versions.

Nachteile:

The look and feel and the user interface were so different from the previous version that it took quite a time to get used to. Some of the critical features of previous versions were not incorporated in the initial release but it is getting better with updates.

No longer using

4,0 vor 6 Jahren

Kommentare: This was the cutting edge presentation software for churches when it first was released. Then ProPresenter came along and made everything easier.

Vorteile:

The bible scripture feature was so easy to display verses from different bible translations.

Nachteile:

It was not user friendly, especially for volunteers who weren't using the software enough to stay familiar with the layout.

Antwort von Wordsmith

vor 6 Jahren

Hey Richard! Thanks for your review. You're right, MediaShout was the "pioneer" of church presentation software with the first ever concept of being able to navigate slides in random order or use motion backgrounds even. I wonder if you've seen our newer versions that came out around when ProPresenter was launched, and after? People say that our recent version 6, and especially our brand new version 7 are much easier than ProPresenter. We have folks switching all the time because MediaShout still allows advanced features, but doesn't take an advanced user skillset to be able to design and run. I'd recommend checking out this link to see a video of how you can setup an average church service in literally 7 minutes total, in fact: https://youtu.be/hBiXSn4cDGI And running it-- so easy that anyone could do it without ANY training (As a worship leader, I've personally had someone jump on 5 minutes before the service, who had never SEEN Version 7 before, and ran it with no trouble!)

Making Slides in MediaShout

5,0 vor 6 Monaten

Kommentare: I enjoy using MediaShout for making slides. It is easy to collaborate with others and customize the slide's content. I would definitely recommend MediaShout!

Vorteile:

I love the ease of inserting lyrics and slides as well as choosing from a variety of backgrounds!

Nachteile:

I have also used Propresenter as a program to make slides. Propresenter has more features, but MediaShout was just as easy to use. Honestly, it is all in what you get used to using. There is nothing inherently bad in using MediaShout.

MS 7 is a terrible program

4,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: Until now it has been good. We wasted our money with MS 7.

Vorteile:

Although previous MS programs have been fairly easy to use and navigate we are finding MS7 to have many issues in navigation and set up. The instructions are hard to follow and when support does help you they go through things so fast that it is hard to keep up.

Nachteile:

MS 7 is hard to set up on a weekly basis.

Help was outstanding

4,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: [sensitive content hidden]
was extremely helpful when the program wasn't functioning the way it should. He spent alot of time with me till I was comfortable with the new layout.

Vorteile:

Ease of adding slides, the size of the script.

Nachteile:

I don't like that the timer appears on all slides and it's an extra step to get it off the slides you don't want it on.

Worship Software for the ease of mind

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: 7+ years of using various versions of MediaShout. Tried other software before, but never found them with ease of mind in functionality or database availability. Though some of the new changes in the years have caused some need to learn a new method in use, those functions have come very useful in later actions.

Vorteile:

Built in databases for lyrics and bibles for creation and on-the-fly display. Cue libraries for saving varied versions of lyrics and liturgical (i.e. Advent) texts to pull for future needs.

Nachteile:

Though mentioned the ease of mind in use, there can be some initial difficulties in the beginning of new versions. But we all must get out of comfort zone and learn new things.

Media Shout 7 - Latest Version

4,0 vor 5 Jahren

Kommentare: We have used Media Shout from version 4/5, then into V6 and now V7. All of the releases have gone very smooth until V7. It seems they wanted to meet an arbitrary delivery date and released it prematurely. Now, with this latest release MS7 seems ready for prime time.

Vorteile:

After all of my critical critiques of MS7 early releases I thought I would follow-up with a review of the latest release. I almost had to start from scratch, relearning how to build cues and formatting pages. But, I was able to build this weeks service in MS7 and it ran without any issues/aborts (unexpected shutdowns). I did not use any of my old MS7 scripts but started with a "new" script and built the entire script from scratch. I also imported a MS6 Announcement script into MS7 and did not experience any issues. The "new" MS7 announcement script ran using script control which it imported from the MS6 script. This release has fixed the unexpected shutdown issue that we were having with the early releases. Another PRO is the support staff at Media Shout. They bend over backwards to help you solve issues or help you learn how to use the product.

Nachteile:

Their early release of the product. There were several features that would give you a comment that this feature would be coming in a future release. With the early releases the software would shutdown in the middle of our church service. To date this version of MS7 seems to be stable.

Amazing but buggy

4,0 vor 6 Jahren

Kommentare: I love​ the flexibility and creativity it offers.

Vorteile:

I love being able to put video backgrounds behind lyrics on slides. It's a such cool effect. MediaShout is an amazing tool for presentations. I especially appreciate the song & scripture libraries that are independent of any backgrounds.

Nachteile:

I find that MediaShout crashes often. It's more reliable during presentations, but when I'm adjusting the slide order or making other changes, especially with video, it's still buggy.

Antwort von Wordsmith

vor 6 Jahren

Thanks for the encouraging review and using MediaShout! We're sorry for any trouble you're having with crashing. With our version 6, it is a pretty solid program and we don't see that often except for cases where the PC isn't quite up to spec, or maybe there's some system issues that need to be addressed. Our great support team is here for you if you connect with them on mediashout.com/support. I would bet we could resolve just about any crashing issue if your computer meets requirements. On another note, our NEWEST version, Version 7 blows just about every software out of the water in terms of stability, and I'd encourage you to check it out. There's less to worry about when it comes to Windows updates, display settings, external video codes-- we've simplified it and put it all in the box so MediaShout can be self sufficient and less susceptible to external system issues. Give it a try on www.mediashout.com/trial to see what it's all about!

I love MediaShout. It is excellent church presentation software

4,0 vor 7 Jahren

Kommentare: This software helps to enhance the spread of important information, it helps to enhance worship services, and is very cost effective.

Vorteile:

I love the numerous features and options that help to make for a vibrant worship service. Most of all, I love the wide selection of Bible translations that are available without the need of having to purchase a separate license for each translation. This is really the main reason that we chose MediaShout above the others.

Nachteile:

It can be a bit complicated to operate the software. Stability is a bit of an issue. Even with a powerful machine, it may crash from time to time. I am not thrilled with the past licensing model that at times necessitated having to potentially purchase a new license if a computer crashed. It would be nice to have an option where licenses could be activated/deactivated via a secure login. However, I think that the new licensing model which makes it more cost effective just to purchase unlimited licenses will remedy this issue. Finally, upgrade pricing is too high.

Antwort von Wordsmith

vor 7 Jahren

Hey Gary, Thank you for the review! We've found MediaShout to be a very stable program among church presentation software. Occasional crashing can normally be attributed to outdated graphics drivers, implementation of PowerPoint or mis-matched codec settings. We also look forward to the day when users can deactivate "dead" computers via their secure logon to their MediaShout account. It is unfortunate that computers can become unusable before you have a chance to deactivate. In that instance, just give us a call -- or submit a ticket or chat -- and let us know the name of the computer in question and we will deactivate it on our end, opening that activation up for your later use. It wouldn't necessitate purchasing another activation to use on the replacement computer. Again, thanks, and be blessed!

We were a MediaShout customer for many years but had too many problems with the program.

1,0 vor 7 Jahren

Kommentare: None.

Vorteile:

Not much. It was affordable? We had to switch to another program because MediaShout was so unusable.

Nachteile:

MediaShout stops working and crashes multiple times during editing of the slides. Customer service was not good, never answered the phone even during the customer service hours and took a long time to call back. The tutorial videos were not helpful at all. The software does not have a user-friendly interface in general but is especially unusable to people who have no experience with the program. Steep learning curve transitioning from MediaShout 5 to MediaShout 6. No matter how many times we talked to customer service, crashing problems were never resolved. Program was extremely slow. Many other problems but cannot list them all because of Capterra word limit.

Antwort von Wordsmith

vor 6 Jahren

We've had a few conversations with this customer and provided answers and support to them multiple times even when our offices were closed (Sundays). Many of the issues appear to be related to computer hardware, but unfortunately our senior tech hasn't had an opportunity to look at it with them. Instead, it seems as if the finger is pointed at our software and our team when the customer may not have a full understanding of how software and hardware impact each other. In addition, they have posted negatively on numerous sites because we won't provide a refund (which is clearly stated in our policies) instead of allowing our team to support them like we do for our many other customers. We are in this position to serve the church because we love doing that. But we will not allow people to falsely accuse us of things we have not done. We have reached out to this user multiple times since this post and will continue to because that is our heart and commitment to the church.

Made my first custom count-down timer

5,0 vor 6 Jahren

Vorteile:

I'm not usually the on-site tech guy for special events, but it happened to be me the other day. Among the inevitable last-minute requests was a count down timer to display on the main screens during intermission so everyone would know when it was time to continue the concert. But, they didn't want a generic video off youtube, they wanted something themed to match the event so it looked intentional. Now, I am not the regular Media Shout guy, in fact I don't think I had ever actually used it for a live event before. This responsibility falls on me so rarely that I usually just go with PowerPoint. I knew MediaShout had better tools for us, but never bothered to learn them, and I was more familiar with PowerPoint. But, a count down timer? I did a quick search on how to create a count down timer in our version of PowerPoint. After skimming a few steps in, I realized this was not the way to go. So, I opened up MediaShout to see what I could figure out. Oh, my, that was too easy. I dropped in a background to match the concert theme and added a count down timer, gave it a nice font and matching color. Ta-da. The event organizers were happy and it worked flawlessly.

Nachteile:

Seems like this thing loads pretty slow. It's running on a good computer, but still seems like it takes forever to open and load up the file.

Great for Churches with Good Volunteers

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: My experience has been overall very positive. I can't say enough good things about their customer support employees as well. We were doing worship slides on PowerPoint before MediaShout, and the difference is astounding.

Vorteile:

rHaving ease of access for Bible translations and hymn/song lyrics has drastically cut down on the time it takes me to do the worship slides each week. I find the Bible tool particularly helpful, no more copying and pasting! After a brief learning curve, MediaShout is easy to use and easy to be picky about.

Nachteile:

I sometimes experience crashing with MediaShout, occasionally at very inopportune times. When I try to do something it just doesn't like, down it goes with little or no warning or explaination.

Antwort von Wordsmith

vor 4 Jahren

Hey there! Thank you so much for the kind words and being part of the MediaShout family. We want your experience to be flawless, if at all posible, so if you haven't already reached out to our customer support team, be sure to do that. We'd love to look into any crashing issues you're seeing and make sure we either work with you directly to resolve any system specific issues, or that we report whatever is causing it to our development team so they can conquer it once and for all in a future updates. We're continually updating the software and expecting another update soon, and with each one, we get even more stability, performance, and features! Thanks again!

For what it’s worth, get ProPresenter

2,0 vor 3 Jahren

Kommentare: Mediocre. Definitely glad to move over to ProPresenter.

Vorteile:

Media shout offered functional capabilities for visual presentation in a church environment.

Nachteile:

The ability to really customize and program visual aspects of a church service were limited and/or more difficult than I wanted them to be. Always felt like a bit of a struggle to get the program to do exactly what I envisioned.

Better Options Elsewhere

2,0 vor 5 Jahren

Kommentare: We briefly used this to project worship slides and sermon slides.

Vorteile:

The software is generally reliable with few glitches, especially on newer versions. It can be easily customized. Resource Light compared to some other options.

Nachteile:

There are many better options available, and MediaShout hasn't exactly kept up with competition. Upgraded versions offer little in the way of new features, and the pricing isn't appealing when you compare what you can get for the same or less elsewhere.

Antwort von Wordsmith

vor 5 Jahren

Thanks for taking the time to review. We are surprised to see the ratings on ease of use, etc. as we are continually hearing from users that MediaShout is among the easiest to learn of the presentation software options out there. Regarding price, we'd definitely recommend folks to do the research there and see that MediaShout is actually the best value available, period. With an unlimited site license included, and 70 Bibles in that package without paying extra, under a one time fee, it's really an all in one purchase. Many competitors require you to pay extra for each Bible version, or certain features. The only way you get by cheaper initially is to do a subscription plan with one of the other software options, but if you do the math, you're really starting to lose money between the 1 & 2 year mark. If anyone has questions, we're available and glad to answer any questions in an unbiased way at www.mediashout.com/support.

A Powerful, Easy and Remarkable Church Presentation Software. A must have for any church.

5,0 vor 7 Jahren

Kommentare: Facilitating Reading The Preaching of our Pastor, making the Bible Verses as well as Songs Lyrics available for ALL to read on screen.

Vorteile:

The way I can edit and create slide without disturbing the main view. Also the availability of many Bible versions, enabling us to assist our Pastor in delivering the Message of God to the Church.

Nachteile:

Not having a SCROLLING Announcements Option, is really a negative for us. I still look forward to see one day Scrolling Announcement Feature in future versions. The other issue is the necessity to reconnect to Internet every Six Weeks, is not helping us in Africa where we do not have internet in our church buildings. Can it be removed, and find another way for verification?

Can get the job done... with a catch.

4,0 vor 6 Jahren

Kommentare: Overall MediaShout has done a very good job in creating presentation for our entire church service. That inludes the sermon, sermon notes as well as the praise and worship set. It also helps that it serves as a good archival tool.

Vorteile:

There are alot of functionality fatures. It gives you the ability to add multple media types as well as create slide designs and trasitions. You can also save detailed templates, this allows you to make dozens of presentaions very fast by simply adjusting the elements.

Nachteile:

The UI is VERY cumbersome. Navigation of the program doesn't have a very shallow learning curve. This can leave a lot of room for mistakes, especially for users with little to no expirence with presentation sofware.

Awesome Customer Support

5,0 vor 7 Jahren

Kommentare: MediaShout is exponentially more flexible than PowerPoint

Vorteile:

Every time I have an issue (and there have been plenty, usually operator error), I reach out to MediaShout Support and they get back to me and help me out. They are just awesome. One of my favorite features in the current version is the ability to have multiple presentations open in separate tabs. No more having a super long presentation for a weekend event that has four events. Just build out the four presentations and the weekend is set.

Nachteile:

If I had to pick something, it would be configuring the Announcement Loop. This one always gets me, it needs its own video.

Still a satisfied customer.

5,0 vor 6 Jahren

Kommentare: We started with Media Shout when we started using video presentation in our services 10 years ago. The updates and upgraded versions have continued to allow us to have a user-friendly software for our volunteers to operated for worship. The Plus Membership has been my favorite addition. It's great to be able to get help quickly when there is a problem or even when I need help understanding something.

Vorteile:

My favorite new feature is the in line editor. It's very convenient to be able to edit slides while still running the program.

Nachteile:

I don't like the way the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the cue when the text wraps to a new slide within the cue.
