Hi there Paul.
Hope all is well.
Again I want to thank you for all the great content you are creating. You are really a blessing!
I contacted you about a year ago about video equipment for our congregation. We have been doing our research on this since then. We are in the very last stages of our equipment decisions.
Things have changed a little bit as we now also want to live stream our service to a sister church in a town about 100km from us.
So the streaming part is sorted but now we have a couple of new challenges.
1. The video cameras need to be able to record and stream at the same time.
2. We need a portable wireless video transmitter/receiver for at least one of the cameras.
I found the Canon XA25 and Sony PXW-X70 that might be capable of doing the recording and streaming at the same time.
Do you maybe have any suggestions on equipment, services and software solutions to make this project a success and save us some painful teething problems?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Blessings.
Sarel van der Walt.

Hi Paul, I watched a propresenter 5 tutorial that said to import power point into my mac. I did this as they to do and was deleting some backgrounds because I had way too many and was trying delete some and organize the others. Propresenter kept locking up. I force closed it several times and when I tried to bring it back it locked up every time, with the little colorful ball going around. I am sort of new at this, but it is my job at my church and I really want to be good at it. I’ve been doing it for a few months, and had very few problems until I imported power point. Also, I’m not sure power point wasn’t already there and I wasn’t aware of it. Thanks, Pam in Arkansas

Hi Paul
We bought some moving heads from China called Beam 230’s and we are trying to program them to Dmx Creator 6.68. The heads move but the bulbs don’t light up. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Bobby
