everyone this is Kendall from church everyone this is Kendall from church motion graphics and today I'm gonna be motion graphics and today I'm gonna be motion graphics and today I'm gonna be showing you a quick tutorial of how to showing you a quick tutorial of how to showing you a quick tutorial of how to create three new looks in propresenter create three new looks in propresenter create three new looks in propresenter by using the shapes and so all by using the shapes and so all by using the shapes and so all throughout this tutorial i'm going to be throughout this tutorial i'm going to be throughout this tutorial i'm going to be using the November 2016 CMG mega pack so using the November 2016 CMG mega pack so using the November 2016 CMG mega pack so all of the motions that you see are all of the motions that you see are all of the motions that you see are available on this pack and that pack is available on this pack and that pack is available on this pack and that pack is available to download now and so let me available to download now and so let me available to download now and so let me show you show you show you the looks that we're gonna be creating the looks that we're gonna be creating the looks that we're gonna be creating I've got three different looks you can I've got three different looks you can I've got three different looks you can see here using different shapes inside see here using different shapes inside see here using different shapes inside of propresenter let me give you a of propresenter let me give you a of propresenter let me give you a full-screen look here you can see the full-screen look here you can see the full-screen look here you can see the first one has a rectangle shape and first one has a rectangle shape and first one has a rectangle shape and we've got it so you can just see through we've got it so you can just see through we've got it so you can just see through it just to see through to that it just to see through to that it just to see through to that background a hair the next look is a background a hair the next look is a background a hair the next look is a diamond and we've actually got just an diamond and we've actually got just an diamond and we've actually got just an outline here it really lets that outline here it really lets that outline here it really lets that background pop through and finally we've background pop through and finally we've background pop through and finally we've got a circle got a circle got a circle and so I'm gonna show you how to create and so I'm gonna show you how to create and so I'm gonna show you how to create these looks these looks these looks first what we'll want to do is go to first what we'll want to do is go to first what we'll want to do is go to file and start a new presentation and file and start a new presentation and file and start a new presentation and I'm just gonna name this shapes tutorial I'm just gonna name this shapes tutorial I'm just gonna name this shapes tutorial on my end but you can name this anything on my end but you can name this anything on my end but you can name this anything your bro presenter your bro presenter your bro presenter and I want to go to editor and I want to go to editor and I want to go to editor and you'll see that there's text here and you'll see that there's text here and you'll see that there's text here that's got just whatever template you that's got just whatever template you that's got just whatever template you last used and so I want to hang on to my

last used and so I want to hang on to my last used and so I want to hang on to my text box here without it getting in my text box here without it getting in my text box here without it getting in my way so I'm gonna go ahead and just cut way so I'm gonna go ahead and just cut way so I'm gonna go ahead and just cut that and get it out of the way so I'll that and get it out of the way so I'll that and get it out of the way so I'll have it for later but that'll give me have it for later but that'll give me have it for later but that'll give me some you know some area to kind of work some you know some area to kind of work some you know some area to kind of work on my template here I'm gonna go ahead on my template here I'm gonna go ahead on my template here I'm gonna go ahead and assign a background to and assign a background to and assign a background to this presentation to the slide so that this presentation to the slide so that this presentation to the slide so that it will we'll kind of know what we're it will we'll kind of know what we're it will we'll kind of know what we're looking at here and the first the first looking at here and the first the first looking at here and the first the first thing that we want to do is go up to the thing that we want to do is go up to the thing that we want to do is go up to the shapes tool you'll see a little shapes tool you'll see a little shapes tool you'll see a little rectangle rectangle rectangle icon up here at the top of editor and so icon up here at the top of editor and so icon up here at the top of editor and so we're going to click that we're going to click that we're going to click that and it's going to insert just a white and it's going to insert just a white and it's going to insert just a white box right in the middle of our box right in the middle of our box right in the middle of our editor right in the middle of our slide editor right in the middle of our slide editor right in the middle of our slide and so to create the look and so to create the look and so to create the look that I showed you before what you want that I showed you before what you want that I showed you before what you want to do is you're gonna look over here and to do is you're gonna look over here and to do is you're gonna look over here and there's these panels on the right side there's these panels on the right side there's these panels on the right side of the editor and some different things of the editor and some different things of the editor and some different things you can control their text and and you can control their text and and you can control their text and and transitions and different things but transitions and different things but transitions and different things but what we're going to focus on it's this what we're going to focus on it's this what we're going to focus on it's this little box here that's got the shapes little box here that's got the shapes little box here that's got the shapes and so you want to click that tab and and so you want to click that tab and and so you want to click that tab and it's going to open up these preferences it's going to open up these preferences it's going to open up these preferences and so what that's gonna allow us to do and so what that's gonna allow us to do and so what that's gonna allow us to do is to control what this shape looks like is to control what this shape looks like is to control what this shape looks like and so to create the rectangle I can do and so to create the rectangle I can do and so to create the rectangle I can do this several several different ways you this several several different ways you this several several different ways you can resize it with the can resize it with the can resize it with the pins the little boxes on the sides of

pins the little boxes on the sides of pins the little boxes on the sides of the graphic there you can always resize the graphic there you can always resize the graphic there you can always resize that that way or you can actually go that that way or you can actually go that that way or you can actually go over and change the width and the height over and change the width and the height over and change the width and the height manually and so I already kind of got an manually and so I already kind of got an manually and so I already kind of got an idea of what size I wanted this to be idea of what size I wanted this to be idea of what size I wanted this to be for this look and so I know that I want for this look and so I know that I want for this look and so I know that I want it to be on my stone my screen on my it to be on my stone my screen on my it to be on my stone my screen on my presenter it will be different on every presenter it will be different on every presenter it will be different on every on every size screen and so these on every size screen and so these on every size screen and so these numbers aren't necessarily going to work numbers aren't necessarily going to work numbers aren't necessarily going to work on your in but you can kind of play on your in but you can kind of play on your in but you can kind of play around with it and figure out what size around with it and figure out what size around with it and figure out what size will work on yours so I know in mind will work on yours so I know in mind will work on yours so I know in mind that I want it to be that I want it to be that I want it to be 930 on the width and 930 on the width and 930 on the width and 300 pixels on the height and so I'm then 300 pixels on the height and so I'm then 300 pixels on the height and so I'm then gonna take and drag that using the gonna take and drag that using the gonna take and drag that using the guides guides guides to put that in the center to put that in the center to put that in the center there it is there it is there it is okay so that fixes our size and again okay so that fixes our size and again okay so that fixes our size and again you can do that by dragging these pins you can do that by dragging these pins you can do that by dragging these pins or you can resize it using the numbers or you can resize it using the numbers or you can resize it using the numbers the next thing that I want to change is the next thing that I want to change is the next thing that I want to change is the opacity and you might have saw on the opacity and you might have saw on the opacity and you might have saw on when I gave you the preview of this I when I gave you the preview of this I when I gave you the preview of this I actually had it so you could see through actually had it so you could see through actually had it so you could see through it a little bit it was a little it a little bit it was a little it a little bit it was a little translucent and so I'm actually gonna translucent and so I'm actually gonna translucent and so I'm actually gonna drag the bar here down to 80 flipping pretty good flipping pretty good and you'll see fill color I'm gonna and you'll see fill color I'm gonna and you'll see fill color I'm gonna click this box and I think that a black click this box and I think that a black click this box and I think that a black box would look really good and so it box would look really good and so it box would look really good and so it opens up this colors panel and I like to

opens up this colors panel and I like to opens up this colors panel and I like to use the color pencils here to select use the color pencils here to select use the color pencils here to select color so I'm gonna select that black and color so I'm gonna select that black and color so I'm gonna select that black and you'll start seeing it coming together you'll start seeing it coming together you'll start seeing it coming together it's looking pretty good now before I it's looking pretty good now before I it's looking pretty good now before I cut our text box and so what I'm gonna cut our text box and so what I'm gonna cut our text box and so what I'm gonna do now to get it back is press control V do now to get it back is press control V do now to get it back is press control V and you'll see it drop back in there I'm and you'll see it drop back in there I'm and you'll see it drop back in there I'm gonna get that centered up and gonna get that centered up and gonna get that centered up and there is our first slide our first look there is our first slide our first look there is our first slide our first look looks pretty good looks pretty good looks pretty good let's go ahead and add another slide on let's go ahead and add another slide on let's go ahead and add another slide on we'll work on our second look we'll work on our second look we'll work on our second look again I'm gonna take and cut to get our again I'm gonna take and cut to get our again I'm gonna take and cut to get our text box out of the way so we can easily text box out of the way so we can easily text box out of the way so we can easily work on our slide and the next one that work on our slide and the next one that work on our slide and the next one that we're gonna do is a diamond shape we're gonna do is a diamond shape we're gonna do is a diamond shape what I want to do is go ahead and bring what I want to do is go ahead and bring what I want to do is go ahead and bring in our our background again just so that in our our background again just so that in our our background again just so that we know what we're looking at drag that we know what we're looking at drag that we know what we're looking at drag that in there from our video image again it in there from our video image again it in there from our video image again it looks like that it looks pretty good looks like that it looks pretty good looks like that it looks pretty good we're gonna go back up to that shapes we're gonna go back up to that shapes we're gonna go back up to that shapes tool add the rectangle and you may tool add the rectangle and you may tool add the rectangle and you may remember that the look that I showed you remember that the look that I showed you remember that the look that I showed you may pull that back up give you a preview may pull that back up give you a preview may pull that back up give you a preview okay it's a perfectly okay it's a perfectly okay it's a perfectly even diamond that we've created and so even diamond that we've created and so even diamond that we've created and so to get that look when I go back to our to get that look when I go back to our to get that look when I go back to our other presentation go to editor what I'm gonna do is I know that to get what I'm gonna do is I know that to get that perfect square I'm gonna have to that perfect square I'm gonna have to that perfect square I'm gonna have to make these even make these the width and

make these even make these the width and make these even make these the width and the height the same number and so again the height the same number and so again the height the same number and so again I already brought my numbers in for I already brought my numbers in for I already brought my numbers in for playing with it earlier I know that I playing with it earlier I know that I playing with it earlier I know that I want it to be 745 pixels wide and want it to be 745 pixels wide and want it to be 745 pixels wide and 745 pixels tall and so again this will 745 pixels tall and so again this will 745 pixels tall and so again this will be different on every computer based on be different on every computer based on be different on every computer based on what size your screen is okay so it's what size your screen is okay so it's what size your screen is okay so it's still a square right now to get that still a square right now to get that still a square right now to get that diamond look what we need to do is diamond look what we need to do is diamond look what we need to do is adjust our angle and so I'm gonna grab adjust our angle and so I'm gonna grab adjust our angle and so I'm gonna grab that's here and move it to and move it to go ahead and just type it in 45 degrees go ahead and just type it in 45 degrees go ahead and just type it in 45 degrees and what that has done is created that and what that has done is created that and what that has done is created that rotation gives us that perfect diamond rotation gives us that perfect diamond rotation gives us that perfect diamond shape I'm going to use the guides here shape I'm going to use the guides here shape I'm going to use the guides here to get that centered up to the slide to get that centered up to the slide to get that centered up to the slide looks good there okay and so if you looks good there okay and so if you looks good there okay and so if you remember from our preview remember from our preview remember from our preview there was no fill only an outline and so there was no fill only an outline and so there was no fill only an outline and so what we're gonna do to get that is I'm what we're gonna do to get that is I'm what we're gonna do to get that is I'm clicking on our shape and over here and clicking on our shape and over here and clicking on our shape and over here and our preferences I'm gonna have to our preferences I'm gonna have to our preferences I'm gonna have to actually uncheck fill color that's gonna actually uncheck fill color that's gonna actually uncheck fill color that's gonna take away all of the fill and I am gonna take away all of the fill and I am gonna take away all of the fill and I am gonna check line color right now it's set to check line color right now it's set to check line color right now it's set to black and ours is white I think that'll black and ours is white I think that'll black and ours is white I think that'll look pretty good so I clicked the box look pretty good so I clicked the box look pretty good so I clicked the box here it opens the color panel I'm gonna here it opens the color panel I'm gonna here it opens the color panel I'm gonna change it to white I just called snow change it to white I just called snow change it to white I just called snow okay and it's still not really visible okay and it's still not really visible okay and it's still not really visible and so what you have to adjust is line

and so what you have to adjust is line and so what you have to adjust is line width and so you can play with different width and so you can play with different width and so you can play with different sizes to see what's going to work for sizes to see what's going to work for sizes to see what's going to work for you I think what looks best is about 20 you I think what looks best is about 20 you I think what looks best is about 20 so I'm typing I've an and hidden inner so I'm typing I've an and hidden inner so I'm typing I've an and hidden inner and there's that look okay so remember and there's that look okay so remember and there's that look okay so remember earlier I cut our text box and I'm just earlier I cut our text box and I'm just earlier I cut our text box and I'm just gonna paste that back in so looking good there and there's our so looking good there and there's our second look finally let's do our third look finally let's do our third look you'll remember that it was a circle and you'll remember that it was a circle and you'll remember that it was a circle and so this has been kind of a mystery on so this has been kind of a mystery on so this has been kind of a mystery on propresenter we've had a lot of propresenter we've had a lot of propresenter we've had a lot of questions people wondering how do you do questions people wondering how do you do questions people wondering how do you do this this requires no outside tools or this this requires no outside tools or this this requires no outside tools or anything like that we figured out a way anything like that we figured out a way anything like that we figured out a way to make this happen inside a to make this happen inside a to make this happen inside a propresenter and so the first thing I'm propresenter and so the first thing I'm propresenter and so the first thing I'm gonna do is bring in my background just gonna do is bring in my background just gonna do is bring in my background just so we have an idea of what we're looking so we have an idea of what we're looking so we have an idea of what we're looking at here again I want to cut our text box at here again I want to cut our text box at here again I want to cut our text box out out out and I went again use this rectangle tool and I went again use this rectangle tool and I went again use this rectangle tool the shape tool up at the top the shape tool up at the top the shape tool up at the top alright this one is that it's actually alright this one is that it's actually alright this one is that it's actually pretty fun to do let's get our size just pretty fun to do let's get our size just pretty fun to do let's get our size just right I knew from before right I knew from before right I knew from before 925 by 9:25 was gonna be a perfect size 925 by 9:25 was gonna be a perfect size 925 by 9:25 was gonna be a perfect size shape for us shape for us shape for us and so it's still right now a square and so it's still right now a square and so it's still right now a square what we're gonna adjust to achieve our what we're gonna adjust to achieve our what we're gonna adjust to achieve our circle is something down here called the circle is something down here called the circle is something down here called the corner radius now you can do some cool corner radius now you can do some cool corner radius now you can do some cool things with this if you say you would

things with this if you say you would things with this if you say you would put it on something around 20 you would put it on something around 20 you would put it on something around 20 you would get a nice get a nice get a nice subtle subtle subtle rounded edge box you can adjust that to rounded edge box you can adjust that to rounded edge box you can adjust that to different sizes and create some some different sizes and create some some different sizes and create some some cool looks that way but I discovered by cool looks that way but I discovered by cool looks that way but I discovered by increasing it to a really high number increasing it to a really high number increasing it to a really high number you can actually achieve a circle so I'm you can actually achieve a circle so I'm you can actually achieve a circle so I'm gonna put it to a thousand hit enter and gonna put it to a thousand hit enter and gonna put it to a thousand hit enter and look at that it creates a perfect circle look at that it creates a perfect circle look at that it creates a perfect circle I'm gonna drag that to be right in the I'm gonna drag that to be right in the I'm gonna drag that to be right in the middle middle middle and there's our circle and and there's our circle and and there's our circle and so they look that I showed you earlier so they look that I showed you earlier so they look that I showed you earlier we had a black box so I think that'll we had a black box so I think that'll we had a black box so I think that'll look really cool I'm gonna go back to look really cool I'm gonna go back to look really cool I'm gonna go back to that fill color that fill color that fill color and I choose black or licorice and and I'm gonna adjust our opacity down to 50% I'm gonna adjust our opacity down to 50% I'm gonna adjust our opacity down to 50% it's gonna look really good on this it's gonna look really good on this it's gonna look really good on this background background background pressing enter pressing enter pressing enter and there is our look paste our text box back in paste our text box back in get that lined up just perfectly in the get that lined up just perfectly in the get that lined up just perfectly in the center center center there is a third look let's close out of there is a third look let's close out of there is a third look let's close out of here and take a look look at them don't here and take a look look at them don't here and take a look look at them don't they look great okay so here's what you they look great okay so here's what you they look great okay so here's what you do if you want to save these as do if you want to save these as do if you want to save these as templates so that you can apply them to templates so that you can apply them to templates so that you can apply them to different songs it's really easy different songs it's really easy different songs it's really easy remember before when we drug the remember before when we drug the remember before when we drug the backgrounds on here so we could get a

backgrounds on here so we could get a backgrounds on here so we could get a preview of what they look like you want preview of what they look like you want preview of what they look like you want to make sure before you save these as a to make sure before you save these as a to make sure before you save these as a template that you remove those template that you remove those template that you remove those backgrounds and so I'm going to right backgrounds and so I'm going to right backgrounds and so I'm going to right click and say we're Mew remove cue and click and say we're Mew remove cue and click and say we're Mew remove cue and it has the name of the emotion so let's it has the name of the emotion so let's it has the name of the emotion so let's remove that I'll do that to each of remove that I'll do that to each of remove that I'll do that to each of these now that we've got our backgrounds now that we've got our backgrounds removes what we can do is removes what we can do is removes what we can do is go to go to go to editor editor editor and I'm going to hold down command and and I'm going to hold down command and and I'm going to hold down command and click each of these click each of these click each of these I'm then going to right click and I'm then going to right click and I'm then going to right click and you see where it says template you see where it says template you see where it says template your highlight template and go down to your highlight template and go down to your highlight template and go down to save selected slides as template group save selected slides as template group save selected slides as template group and so with all three slots selected or and so with all three slots selected or and so with all three slots selected or if you were just doing one slide say you if you were just doing one slide say you if you were just doing one slide say you created just the diamond you could do created just the diamond you could do created just the diamond you could do just one at a time but I'm gonna save just one at a time but I'm gonna save just one at a time but I'm gonna save select the slightest template group it's select the slightest template group it's select the slightest template group it's gonna pop up and I'm gonna name this gonna pop up and I'm gonna name this gonna pop up and I'm gonna name this this template group shapes this template group shapes this template group shapes hit save hit save hit save it looks like I already saved it save it looks like I already saved it save it looks like I already saved it save that before so maybe I'll save as shapes too just for this shapes too just for this alright and so say we have a slide or a alright and so say we have a slide or a alright and so say we have a slide or a song rather and in your library that you

song rather and in your library that you song rather and in your library that you want to apply this to and so I've got want to apply this to and so I've got want to apply this to and so I've got Amazing Grace inserted here and you can Amazing Grace inserted here and you can Amazing Grace inserted here and you can see it's got kind of some funky style see it's got kind of some funky style see it's got kind of some funky style happening here and we're going to see happening here and we're going to see happening here and we're going to see what it looks like when we apply these what it looks like when we apply these what it looks like when we apply these templates and so I'm gonna go right up templates and so I'm gonna go right up templates and so I'm gonna go right up with the song selected go to template with the song selected go to template with the song selected go to template and I'm gonna find that shapes to and I'm gonna find that shapes to and I'm gonna find that shapes to template that I just created and you'll template that I just created and you'll template that I just created and you'll see as I mouse over that I have the see as I mouse over that I have the see as I mouse over that I have the three different slides that we created three different slides that we created three different slides that we created and so I really like the look of that and so I really like the look of that and so I really like the look of that template too with the diamond and so I'm template too with the diamond and so I'm template too with the diamond and so I'm gonna select that and you'll see that it gonna select that and you'll see that it gonna select that and you'll see that it is reformatted the slides for this song is reformatted the slides for this song is reformatted the slides for this song and you based off of the the font and you based off of the the font and you based off of the the font settings that I chose you can see that settings that I chose you can see that settings that I chose you can see that some of them got a little got a little some of them got a little got a little some of them got a little got a little funky there where it started ahead a funky there where it started ahead a funky there where it started ahead a little more text but that's very easy to little more text but that's very easy to little more text but that's very easy to go back and just select it you can make go back and just select it you can make go back and just select it you can make your font size smaller whatever you may your font size smaller whatever you may your font size smaller whatever you may need to do but let's focus on on this need to do but let's focus on on this need to do but let's focus on on this first one here and I really like that first one here and I really like that first one here and I really like that black background black background black background and so you can see that it was really and so you can see that it was really and so you can see that it was really easy to apply that template and if we go easy to apply that template and if we go easy to apply that template and if we go here to get a preview it looks really here to get a preview it looks really here to get a preview it looks really really good let's say that we want to change the let's say that we want to change the song to another one let's we can go back song to another one let's we can go back song to another one let's we can go back up to template the shapes too and let's up to template the shapes too and let's up to template the shapes too and let's say we want to change it to the template say we want to change it to the template say we want to change it to the template one and so there it is it has changed it one and so there it is it has changed it one and so there it is it has changed it you can see the background shining you can see the background shining you can see the background shining through there let's try it on a

through there let's try it on a through there let's try it on a different background check that out different background check that out different background check that out looks really good so there you have it that is how you can so there you have it that is how you can create three looks using shapes inside a create three looks using shapes inside a create three looks using shapes inside a propresenter really easy you can play propresenter really easy you can play propresenter really easy you can play around with this do different kind of around with this do different kind of around with this do different kind of looks you can imagine you could change looks you can imagine you could change looks you can imagine you could change the color of these boxes you can change the color of these boxes you can change the color of these boxes you can change the shape or the rotation or the opacity the shape or the rotation or the opacity the shape or the rotation or the opacity you can really get creative with how you you can really get creative with how you you can really get creative with how you do this and the beautiful thing is that do this and the beautiful thing is that do this and the beautiful thing is that you don't have to bring in another you don't have to bring in another you don't have to bring in another program you don't have to use Photoshop program you don't have to use Photoshop program you don't have to use Photoshop you don't have to bring in any images or you don't have to bring in any images or you don't have to bring in any images or PNG s or anything like that you can do PNG s or anything like that you can do PNG s or anything like that you can do all of these inside of Pro presenter and all of these inside of Pro presenter and all of these inside of Pro presenter and save it as template so that you can save it as template so that you can save it as template so that you can easily apply it to other songs and so I easily apply it to other songs and so I easily apply it to other songs and so I really appreciate you watching I want to really appreciate you watching I want to really appreciate you watching I want to remind you that you can get all of these remind you that you can get all of these remind you that you can get all of these backgrounds that you've seen in the backgrounds that you've seen in the backgrounds that you've seen in the November 2016 CMG mega pack they look November 2016 CMG mega pack they look November 2016 CMG mega pack they look great they're gonna look awesome in your great they're gonna look awesome in your great they're gonna look awesome in your church and we'd love to connect with you church and we'd love to connect with you church and we'd love to connect with you you can check us out on Church motion you can check us out on Church motion you can check us out on Church motion graphics com look us up on Facebook graphics com look us up on Facebook graphics com look us up on Facebook Instagram we would love to connect with Instagram we would love to connect with Instagram we would love to connect with you there but until next time I you there but until next time I you there but until next time I appreciate you watching and you have to appreciate you watching and you have to appreciate you watching and you have to let us know what you think
