There are some basic concepts that you need to understand in ProPresenter. I've talked to people who start what they say with "I've used ProPresenter for years, but I still don't understand..." The topic of today's tutorial is like that. Don't feel bad if you don't get it; there's so much to know that missing a few details isn't something to be ashamed about. There's a lot of confusion about each of these ways to use media in ProPresenter. I normally think through a specific list of criteria when I'm deciding which I'll use in my presentations. So, when would you use a background vs. a foreground vs. add the media to the slide itself. There are good reasons to do each, but if you just always do one or the other, you're gonna have some unforeseen problems.

Hi Paul, love your video! Do you know how to import PowerPoint presentation/files into Propresenter7 without losing all the animation/transitions ? As ProPresenter seem's to convert powerpoint into images only ! If you got any tips on how to get around this, let us know! Best regards from France!
If you're using Pro7 for Windows, you can't import anything other than still images of the slides. The Mac version can import text separately, but neither does animations or transitions, BUT you could capture the output of PPT with an NDI capture utility and bring that into pro7. I will say that I've only seen animations and transitions (other than cut or dissolve) used well ONCE in all my years of not only doing this, but also doing tech for Freelance clients. So, I'd be hesitant to include those even if I had the power. They're almost always more distracting than helpful.
