Notes
Write and follow sermon notes, pop them out to a second screen, and send a sentence straight to air.
Present › Notes is a notes editor built for the person preaching and the person operating.
Notes are free on every plan, and stored on your own machine.
Writing
Notes are rich text — headings, bold, lists — and save automatically as you type. There is no save button.
The list on the left holds every note; the editor fills the rest. Notes are kept locally, so they are available whether or not you are signed in or online.
The pop-out window
Pop out opens the current note in its own always-on-top window. Drag it to a second monitor and the preacher can follow their notes while the main window stays on the operator's screen.
The pop-out stays in sync — edits in either window appear in the other.
On Windows: if the pop-out opens blank, update to the latest version. This was fixed in an earlier release.
Sending a sentence to air
Highlight any sentence in a note and send it to the broadcast in one of two shapes:
| Shortcut | What happens |
|---|---|
| ⌘⇧L / Ctrl+Shift+L | Shows as a lower third over every scene, until you clear it |
| ⌘⇧S / Ctrl+Shift+S | Shows in the scene, wherever that scene places it |
The difference is persistence. A lower third rides above whatever you cut to — good for a key point you want held through a camera change. Sending it into the scene keeps it tied to that scene's layout.
Clear it the same way you sent it.
These actions need a scene on Program. If nothing is live, there is nowhere to send the sentence to.
Exporting
Notes export to PDF, or copy to the clipboard as text — useful for putting the outline in a bulletin or an email.
Notes and Creator Studio
These are different things and it is worth knowing which you want:
- Notes are what you write, before and during the service.
- Creator Studio › Notes are generated from the transcript after the service — a structured outline of what was actually preached.
