ALANCOOKIE Keynote is an excellent replacement for PowerPoint on the Mac. LiveWorship has some advantages over using either of these for worship including a built-in database to manage all of your songs, text items, background images and video clips. You can place text over video (including live video from an external source), cue a DVD clip or drag and drop verses from the built in-Bible module (NIV, The Message, NLT, NKJV and others come included with the license; NCV, NASB, ESV, Spanish NVI, Spanish RV95 and others are also available).
LiveWorship allows editing of slides "on the fly" and makes it easy to select slides to present while working with a worship band (both PowerPoint and Keynote are designed around linear presentations). On the toolbar, you have icons to bail to black, bail to a logo slide or just remove the text and leave the background image/video until you select another slide to display. Alerts can be placed on the screen which stay there until removed even as you cue other slides. Songs can be easily imported from CCLI's SongSelect service or other sources and the copyright information can automatically be displayed along with the lyrics.
Designed to take advantage of a dual screen (your primary monitor and an attached projector) setup where you can be selecting and editing slides on your primary monitor while displaying the slides on the second screen. You can use Keynote or PowerPoint along side LiveWorship so that it's a seamless transition between the two applications on the second screen.
One license allows you to install and edit on multiple computers within an organization (Macs and Windows) as long as you are only projecting from one computer at a time.
