- The Basics of Using Renewed Vision's ProPresenter 6. Paul Alan Clifford started doing church tech in 2000, when projectors were cutting edge and PowerPoint was the closest thing to worship software that most churches had.
- However, if you can't open ProPresenter, simply copy the file path that is in red text from the instructions below to go the location in File Explorer (previously called Windows Explorer). You can leave%userprofile% in the file paths and it will take you to the correct location.
Summary:
- Get a really good computer for ProPresenter. A dual core laptop with integrated graphics does NOT work very well with ProPresenter 5 / 6 Windows.
- Whilst the Mac version is proven but not perfect, the Windows version is generally “slow” as my volunteers tell me.
- Test things out before going live!!
Editorial note:
If you’re thinking about buying ProPresenter 6 Windows, I recommend you take a look at the official forums beforehand to get a feel for the kind of problems others have/are facing with the software. It works mostly fine for what its good at - projecting lyrics sequences, but I still prefer PowerPoint for everything else.
e.g. I have had to explain how to insert a new non-lyric slide in ProPresenter quite a few times now!!
Original blog post:
Do not run ProPresenter 6 on integrated graphics!!
Running ProPresenter on integrated graphics is a bad idea and will cause major cause of instability.
Tested on: Intel HD Graphics 5000. Very bad idea – even for text-only slides. If this is what you’ve got, stick to PP5 (see end of this blog post). It onced crashed in the middle of a song, but fortunately it was only a rehearsal for what was a large evangelism night.
This is partly because integrated graphics solutions don’t have much video memory. If you peek at the crash logs, you can infer that some crashes are caused by not enough video memory.
NOTE More “RAM“ is not the same as more “video memory”. ProPresenter is a 32-bit only application, so will not utilise more than 2GB of memory (in theory). Therefore it is advisable to upgrade the video card rather than adding another RAM stick.

Sometimes PowerPoint is still the way to go. ProPresenter is good at handling lyric sequences with non-trivial display outputs.
Did you know? The Mac version of PowerPoint does not have slide editing capabilities during live mode; only the Windows version does.
You MUST do this or the stage display won’t fit properly. Also, some of the application’s dialogs may not show correctly onscreen.
Set the DPI in Windows to 100%, then log out and in again.
It won’t look great on your Surface Book, but at least ProPresenter will work better.
If ProPresenter freezes on first start……
When prompting for the registration key, ProPresenter just freezes. Force quit it and start it again.
There’s also another case I’ve run into a few times:
Enable write permissions for the Everyone group for C:ProgramDataRenewed Vision Media
If ProPresenter does not license because the Bonjour service is not running……
If the Bonjour service _is _crashingwhen you manually try to start the service, try uninstalling your current version of Bonjour, then installing https://support.apple.com/kb/dl999.
If ProPresenter freezes during service..
First thing to try is pressing the ESC key. If you have… an interesting monitor set-up with different DPI’s… sometimes dialogs don’t _appear_ onscreen.
Propresenter For Windows 10
A strange empty white dialog box kept popping up.
Other times, it’s actually frozen. The best you can do is ‘freeze’ the projector display, and restart PP6 – this takes about 4 minutes between killing the program, waiting for it to restart, and waiting for the presentation to load.
You can also try looking at the PP6 log, found under the start menu folder. If you have time, try send a bug report. Unfortunately I’ve found this to be largely impractical (I’ve tried) as I the steps to reproduce can be very specific, or it was simply a random crash.
Example crashes:
- Once, video playback froze 3 seconds in (this was with a live school audience). –
- ProPresenter also crashes sometimes after simply starting it 🙁
- Crash when changing slides during a song (text only slide elements)
- Hanging blank white dialog
Sync is weird
We’re using the local sync mode, pointed to Google Drive.
I dunno man. Sometimes templates get cleared, sometimes playlists get duplicated, or error messages such as the above. It’s all the weird edge cases which make sync algorithms hard!
In practice, this makes editing slides from home a bit tricky. I’ve found it better to just point the entireLibrary Folder to your Google Drive folder, etc.

User error: ‘Plus’ button doesn’t do anything.
TLDR; Always choose “Import All Slides as JPEG Images” (the second option), unless your doing something special.
The other options have their purposes too, but likely lead to… surprising slides.
The first option (“Import native PowerPoint slides (all layers and animations)” doesn’t actually import the PowerPoint presentation at all – instead, it uses runs the actual PowerPoint application. This “should just work”, but I haven’t really tested this option myself. (Having worked with the ugly PowerPoint COM API myself; I even found such COM related errors logged by PP6).
Picking #3 and #4 will require some time to go through and fix slide elements after import:
- #3. –If the pictures were cropped in PowerPoint (i.e. you inserted an image to the slide, then cropped it), when ProPresenter imports the presentation it ignores the crop. Many of the shapes, lines, arrows, etc. created in PowerPoint also don’t actually import as they should. Thus, things can go missing or won’t look right. This is therefore not very useful and is best to avoid, from personal experience.
- #4. – Useful if you want to import text-only slides (e.g. confessions and other liturgical things). But don’t use if during service time as you will need a bunch of time to fix things up: fonts, resizing text areas, etc.
ProPresenter 5 generally feels more responsive (but can still lag). Beware that you may experience codec issues, so please test before live use.
It certainly runs acceptably with my integrated Intel HD Graphics 5000, so that’s a good sign.
To get it to install on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, there’s a little trick required to bypass this blocking setup error: “You do not have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 installed and it is required. Do you wish to download it now from the Microsoft website?” in case you have .NET already installed.
The problem here is that installer is searching for specific .NET version number/s, and the most recent version number is now greater than that hardcoded value (a common trap).
I couldn’t actually find the exact registry entry which the installer was searching for, but there’s another way: we can disable this .NET version check altogether.
- Grab yourself SuperOrca (freeware).

Propresenter 6 Download For Windows
3 Instant Takeaways
- It can feel like Pro Presenter hates your computer but you can change that. Joel recommends having one dedicated computer just for Pro Presenter — especially if you use it for more than just your main service. Think of your computer as any other high-end machine: it isn’t meant to do everything and it needs maintenance and upkeep.
- Get rid of your desktop wallpaper. Do you have your wedding photo or pet cat on your desktop? What if your personal stuff shows up on a huge projection screen? Joel suggests using a plain black background for your church computer desktop.
- Church workers — and we’re looking at you youth pastors — turn Pro Presenter off when you aren’t using it. If you leave the software running it will draw resources from your computer, it may cause a memory leak, and it will eventually lock up.
