In this overview, I explain how our church utilizes ProPresenter 7's powerful feature set to format our text and graphic context for our in person service and our livestream simultaneously from the same computer. The challenge for us initially was to consume as few inputs as possible on our ATEM TV Studio HD video switcher while still giving us the ability to create beautiful and intricate lower thirds content. With this setup, we're able to do just that with using only 2 inputs on our video switcher, leaving the remaining 6 inputs for cameras.
