Campus kit for other ProPresenter Macs (v1.3.0)
- settings.py: per-Mac settings.json (campus code, youtube); ProPresenter
folder, network port and template library read from ProPresenter itself
- First run / --setup / y asks the campus; YouTube text only at NA
- Preacher picked for this campus from the notes email; a lone surname
("Pastor Geyser") matches the most recent speaker with it
- Never restart ProPresenter when its network API is off or not answering
- tools/make_kit.sh builds "Message Notes Kit <version>.zip" (installer,
program, launcher, READ ME FIRST); deploy.sh writes NA's settings
- Email setup text no longer names media@

MESSAGE NOTES -> PROPRESENTER (version VERSION_HERE)
|
||||
=====================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Turns the pastor's notes ("Slides - <message>.rtf") into the message presentation
|
||||
in ProPresenter, built from your own message templates, and links it into the
|
||||
next service's playlist. Runs on the ProPresenter Mac.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALL (once, on the ProPresenter Mac)
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
1. Unzip the kit (double-click the .zip) and open the "Message Notes Kit" folder.
|
||||
2. Double-click "Install Message Notes.command".
|
||||
If macOS says it "can't be opened" / "not verified":
|
||||
click Done, open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down,
|
||||
click "Open Anyway" next to "Install Message Notes.command", then Open.
|
||||
(Or: open Terminal, type bash and a space, drag the installer into the
|
||||
Terminal window, press Return.)
|
||||
3. If it asks for Apple's Command Line Tools: click Install, wait, run step 2 again.
|
||||
4. Answer the setup questions (which campus; email pickup - you can skip that).
|
||||
5. If macOS asks whether Terminal may access Documents, Desktop, Downloads or
|
||||
Google Drive: click Allow.
|
||||
|
||||
Then use "Message Notes to ProPresenter" on the Desktop every week.
|
||||
To update later: run the installer from a newer kit (settings are kept).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
WHAT PROPRESENTER NEEDS
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
- The templates in a library (normally "Messages"), named like:
|
||||
_TEMPLATE - DO NOT DELETE 2608 Lower Thirds (series)
|
||||
_TEMPLATE_GENERIC - DO NOT DELETE 2601 (generic)
|
||||
Any name works as long as it starts with _TEMPLATE and contains DO NOT DELETE;
|
||||
the one with GENERIC in the name is the generic one. If there are several,
|
||||
the most recently changed one is used.
|
||||
- Network turned on: ProPresenter > Settings > Network > Enable Network.
|
||||
The tool uses it to check the text fits your output themes and to see that
|
||||
nothing is live before it restarts ProPresenter to link the playlist.
|
||||
- The service playlist imported from Planning Center, with a "Message" header.
|
||||
If it's missing, the tool tells you to import it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
EVERY WEEK
|
||||
----------
|
||||
1. Save the notes .rtf from the email into Downloads (or set up email pickup,
|
||||
below, and skip this).
|
||||
2. Double-click "Message Notes to ProPresenter" on the Desktop.
|
||||
3. Check the summary (typos it fixed, template, speaker, service), press Enter.
|
||||
4. ProPresenter restarts once (to link the playlist) - never while anything is
|
||||
on screen, on Sunday mornings, or while the message timer runs. If it can't,
|
||||
it tells you to drag the presentation into the Message section yourself.
|
||||
5. Check the slides on your outputs. Font sizes are never changed; if text is
|
||||
too long for an output, the summary says so.
|
||||
|
||||
Keys at the summary: Enter = create, e = edit the slide text, r = undo typo
|
||||
fixes, t = switch template, s = speaker, n = name, d = date, f = other notes
|
||||
file, y = run setup again, q = quit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
EMAIL PICKUP (optional)
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
Needs: Google Drive for desktop on this Mac, signed in to the Google account that
|
||||
receives the "Notes/Slides" emails. During setup (or later with y) the tool copies
|
||||
a small Google Apps Script and opens script.google.com - paste it, save, run
|
||||
"install", allow it. From then on the notes land in My Drive/Message Notes every
|
||||
10 minutes and the tool picks the newest one by itself (it also reads who is
|
||||
preaching at your campus from the email).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
