Posted in Uncategorized tagged , , , , , , , , , at 11:09 am by charlesshyblosky

  • I’m trying to wrap my brain around how this could be used for ministry.  Check out more info on this stuff HERE!!  
  • Here are some potentials:
  • Mobility needed on Mission Trips.  Show the Jesus Film with the ease of this thing.
  • Portability for trips when airlines charge you $50 for an extra bag.. yikes…
  • Spontaneously show someone the four spiritual laws, on the fly….(a stretch, but it could happen)
  • How about improv meetings when you’ve got to show stats, quickly.
  • I’m thinking MediaShout Mobile Edition, give me a remote, and i’m good to go.  (For you iphone users, how about pro-presenter mobile?)

Ok, there is my list, can you think of some apps for this thing???

New, From Mediashout!

I’m really excited about this new addition to the Shoutable family.  I can think of tons of ways to use this, most notably for FREE, I can use this to run announcements in my Lobby/Narthex at church.  Also, when I travel, I can run my presentations on ANY computer, regardless if they have Mediashout or not.  

Have you ever wished you could play your MediaShout presentation on a computer that does not have MediaShout installed? Now you can!
ShoutPlayer Basic is now available as a FREE downloadable utility.

ShoutPlayer Basic is a single or dual-screen application that will open and play MediaShout Scripts in a linear fashion. Upon launching, a playback control bar is displayed on your desktop including ‘Open Script’, ‘Fire Previous’ and ‘Fire Next’ buttons, as well as various screen configuration tools.

Since ShoutPlayer Basic has been developed for simple playback of MediaShout Scripts, creating and editing features are not included. In addition, advanced video functionality (video transitions, live video and DVD playback) is disabled, allowing for use on virtually any computer with no additional configuration required.

ShoutPlayer can be used on as many computers as you like and is ultra-portable. Simply copy the ShoutPlayer installer (80MB) to a packed Script folder and your presentation is ready to go.
Click HERE to download this new MediaShout utility and instructions for its use (approximately 80 MB). Save the link to download this handy tool from any location or email it to someone to share a presentation.

This guy has done some interesting comparisons with Mediashout vs. Propresenter, as of late.  Check it out.  

www.pastorlite.com

These guys are pastors at lifechurch.tv Hendersonville.  There is nothing to read, they do it all in video, in typical LC style.

This stuff cracks me up, and I’m really shocked how he pegged me.  Must see.  Do you shop at REI, Target, Ikea, The Apple Store?  Just checking……

From From  Church Multimedia.  Software For $399, this program boasts the ability to toggle different things on each of your different projectors.  This  could be a very cost effective way for your church to do triple screen, all being separate.  Let me know if you’ve tried this.  They suggest you can easily insert your favorite presentation software to view within this program.  Let me know if you’ve used this, and how it works?

Samepage Music and Mediashout partner together…wow..

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , at 11:21 am by charlesshyblosky

samepage-complete.gifNow, the most popular presentation software, and Collide magazine’s Best for 2007, Mediashout, comes together to directly integrate with SAMEPAGE Music.  Check em out.   This is really going to be a great partnership, for a total worship experience.   You knew eventually someone would pull it all together. This is Samepage:  Instead of three brands of music stands scattered across the platform with taped-on sheet music, a plasma screen propped in front of the front row and notes wedged into the corners of the stage monitors, someone would invent a way to put everyone on the same page. Well, they did. The Corevalus system, though complex, solves the problem and is easy to use. The company’s management team draws from a deep computer literacy and a broad commitment to worship. The result is SamePage. A host computer handles the tasks of processing and displaying music and lyrics to a group of attached flat panel displays. Each panel is about the size of a music stand. So the congregation is not forced to look through an unwieldy box, SamePage can compile a set list, display the lyrics for the vocalists, show different transpositions to each instrumentalist and add songs on the fly. The impact Corevalus will have on the worship community is immense. Just as Aviom altered the audio landscape and made personal monitoring the norm, so too, SamePage will change the way teams track their music. With SamePage, the band can instantly throw in an invitation hymn, drop a half step on a ballad and quickly download a song referenced in the sermon, Corevalus has eliminated the clutter and confusion of visualizing music by delivering a product that all future competitors will be hard pressed to meet.”   Could your church use something like this?

Playing Youtube Videos in Church Presentation Software!

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , at 10:46 am by charlesshyblosky

Whether you use Propresenter, Easyworship, Mediashout, or the 46 other companies that Churches and like-minded organizations use to display lyrics, dvd’s, and other forms of Media, now there is a way to play Youtube files as well.  Welcome to Vixy.net.vixynet.jpg You can convert them into MP3, AVI, MOV, MP4,  and 3GP now, and its a free app

If you’re like myself, a fan of youtube; a vast library of videos submitted by users, you’re probably already hooked on tools such that allows you to download the video in FLVformat to store off line. I recently realized that there are lots of inspirational and funny videos available here as well as some of which I had tried in vain to search for, easily available by keying in the song title followed by a click on the Search button.   You can even convert to MP3, which you can then play on your Ipod, or MP3 player.  What a great tool for ministry.  Have you found a site like this that has worked for you?  Share!

America’s Most Innovative Churches…2008

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , at 8:07 pm by charlesshyblosky

outreach.jpgEach year, Outreach magazine comes out with multiple lists such as Fastest Growing, Largest, Most Innovative.  There always seems to be some interesting churches on the lists, and to be honest, I’m always compelled to visit the websites of the lesser known ones.  Just released:  “America’s Most Innovative Churches of 2008″.  Last year, I called each of the 25 churches that made the list.  I was curious was made them “innovative”.   From the data that I compiled, The Presentation Software that I found most often were MediaShout (for pc), and Propresenter (for Mac), thanks for keeping me straight Greg, 2 use powerpoint exclusively, and 1 uses Hymnals (yes really), no seriously.   Does this surprise you?  The part that surprised me, was if a church uses hymnals, and no presentation software, then what makes them innovative?   Come to find out, they are church planting machines.  That’s right, machines, and I’ll call them innovative all day, and glad they made the list.  Thoughts about the list?
