Presenter Templates are pre-designed layouts used for displaying song lyrics and Scripture slides. The app offers three preset templates: the Default Template, the Lower Third Template, and the Trendy Line Template. Additionally, you have the option to create and customize templates to suit your ministry's projection needs and style preferences.
To manage your templates, open Presenter and click on the ⚙ gear icon located in the upper right corner, then select Manage Templates. Here, you can view the default templates provided by Presenter, as well as the option to add new templates by clicking the + New Template button in the upper right.
Templates can be applied to any song or Scripture item, and you can set different templates for various outputs/screens. For instance, in-house attendees may see the Default Template, while online viewers see the Lower Third Template over a video feed.
Create & Customize a New Template
When in the Manage Templates area of Presenter settings, click the + New Template button in the upper right corner. Give your template a Name and then assign it a Type from the dropdown menu, then click Add template.
Assigning a template Type is important so that the respective template types will show in the search results when you want to add a specific template to a Service Item or Presenter feature.
In the Template Preview, you can customize your template's background and presentation size. Additionally, you can make further adjustments such as changing the font or shape of the template contents. To access these options, click on the center of the Presenter screen, and an options menu will appear on the right-hand side, allowing you to modify features like font size and alignment. Once you're satisfied with your changes, click Save and Close to apply them to the template.
After saving the template, it will be listed under Templates. Click the ellipses next to the template's name, then select Edit template to make further changes.
Applying Templates
When adding or editing a Song or Scripture service item to your service, assign a template through the service item's settings by clicking Select on the Template override feature and selecting a template from the list, then click Save and close to apply the changes to the service item.
Custom Slides Templates
To create your own custom Slides templates, be sure to save the new template Type as Slide. Next, when you are creating or editing a slideshow in Presenter in the upper left hand corner below the Presenter logo click the + next to SLIDES, then choose Create slide from a template and then select your saved template. If the template results are empty then you have not assigned Slide as the template type. Refer to the above section Create & Customize a New Template for how to do this.
Next, design the slide how you want your template to look. When you're happy with the template, click Save and close.
