What’s new
Every version of Yara Presenter, the newest first. The app shows these too, after it updates.
A new name: Yara Presenter
- WordPresenter is now Yara Presenter, with a new icon. Everything you made comes with it: your library, songs, services and settings move across the first time it opens.
- Your pictures, videos and backups move from Documents/WordPresenter to Documents/Yara Presenter.
- OBS: the Syphon and NDI® sources are now called “Yara Presenter - …”. Choose them again once in OBS (the browser source address doesn't change).
- The old WordPresenter app can go in the Bin once Yara Presenter has opened.
Slides and the editor
- Drag across the editor to choose several things at once, and boxes snap to equal spacing (Canva-style), with the gaps measured as you go.
- Animations come in from any side; new Reveal and Sweep effects.
- Animate → Leaving: a slide can leave the way it came in (backwards, or carrying on), and a lower third can stay up for a set time and leave by itself.
- Every template now plays its entrance in reverse when it's cleared.
- Templates are in folders. New: Birthdays (seven designs on moving balloons, light or dark), Christmas, New Year (with Crossover night), and Giving (your accounts, on screen).
- Clicking a slide that's already up replays its animation, for every kind of slide.
On screen
- A Web tab in the drawer shows live web pages on screen, as OBS's Browser source does (a stage timer's view, a countdown); cards show each page's own preview picture.
- Words beside a camera are centred properly, and a song page too long beside the camera is split.
- A picture or video on air shows behind a lower third.
- Slides and songs share one transition.
Elsewhere
- Save as File… (right-click a service, presentation, slides or media): one file with everything it needs, its pictures, videos and songs' words, to share by WhatsApp, Drive or a USB stick. Open it in Yara Presenter on any Mac (File → Open Shared File…, or double-click it) and it's added: a song that Mac hasn't got comes with it.
- Audio, Timers and Messages: drag to choose several, to delete or start together.
- The Songs search in the drawer finds songs by their words, showing the line that matched.
- Quotes: a slider for the cards' size.
- Deleting a folder says plainly whether its presentations go too.
- Help → What's New, and Check for Updates… in the app menu.
