Praisenter

Praisenter is a streamlined yet comprehensive piece of software that was designed to help you create beautiful church presentations.
This said, the application makes it possible for you to select Bible verses, songs, video and audio files in order to create slides with translucency and transition support.
Assuming you already have Java installed on your computer, the application does not require any form of installation whatsoever.

Intuitive layout and Java-specific user-interface that work quite well together

The utility's interface follows a common and well-known Java design for its menus and buttons. The main window of Praisenter packs almost every needed feature quite neatly within one place, without feeling too crowded.
Thanks to its intuitive layout, working with Praisenter is not what you would call difficult, but it is possible that some novice users might need a bit of adjustment time. Nonetheless, you can easily access all the app's important features by navigating between its three main tabs namely, Bible, Songs and Slides.

Combine bible verses with templates, songs and other types of media

Furthermore, the tool makes it simple for you to search the Bible for verses or quotes and add them to your presentations. In addition, Praisenter comes with support for Bible translations as well as for other multilingual services.
You can create fully-customizable slides with options like video looping, text outline, gradients, full or partial transparency. In addition, you can add pictures, audio, videos and take advantage of the smart transitions to make things even smoother.

Overall a good application, but feels very outdated by modern standards

Of course, Praisenter is not what you would call a modern application, as it does not really have much to offer when it comes to exporting and sharing capabilities. Other apps of this sort already have cloud-based support, but, unfortunately, Praisenter requires you to use only your own computer's storage.
Taking all things into consideration, Praisenter proved itself to be a solid and reliable church presentation application. With its support for templates, transitions effects, Bible translations and a surprising number of editing options, Praisenter should find itself on computers of church media support teams.
