A reader needs help!
April 17, 2009
The following was posted by Twila on another post as a comment. I’m not the Mac/ProPresenter expert, so I figured I’d bring it to the foreground here if anyone can help out.
I have recently become involved in a church that uses ProPresenter. In the past I have used MediaShout or SongshowPlus. One problem we are having with ProPresenter is that the pastor likes to have his sermon information in a powerpoint presentation which he controls from the pulpit. Unfortunately, once we start PowerPoint, if we do anything on the mac (including moving the mouse, etc.) it locks up PowerPoint. Is this common or does anyone know of a solution?

One of the great things about ProPresenter is that it can be controlled from the Mac remote. Depending on the distance your Mac is from the pulpit (I’ve had unobstructed success up to about 50 ft), you can export the Powerpoint slides to images then load those images as as presentation in ProP. Keynote can do the exporting for you if you need to.
You’ll want to test the distance of your mac remote, and you’ll want to make sure the presentation is loaded at slide 1 before he starts clicking buttons.
