What’s new in 0.11.0

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.
