Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I haven't found any documentation on it, so I'm hoping someone can point me the right way. I'd like to take the slide backgrounds we create for our sermon series and turn them into smart media so that Logos Sermon Builder knows where to put the reference, translation, etc. without me having to edit each individual slide. What's the best way to do this? If I create it as smart media in Proclaim, can I use it as a background in Logos?

  1. Daniel, Recently, our development team has been working to make strides in improving the Media Tool within Logos and also its integration with Proclaim. As of today though, there is not a way to do exactly what you are trying to do with the Smart Media. For now, it would still require editing the individual slides but we have on our roadmap to do more work in the "Apply to all" slides area. What you're describing would likely fall under that scope of work. For now, if you do create any Smart Media in Proclaim, you can use it in Logos but really is only valuable if the slide is already completed within Proclaim first. However, through some testing today, I was able to create several scripture slides with Smart Media in Proclaim, then copy/paste them over into my Logos Sermon Builder document, which retained all of the correct formatting. Thanks for checking in on this. It's valuable information to receive as we continue to work towards improving this area.

  2. Thanks Austin! Appreciate the reply and the walk through and work around. I did end creating smart media in Proclaim, exporter my sermon to Proclaim, utilized the smart media and then exported as images and imported into PowerPoint. More steps then ideal but the process worked. Looking forward to the further integration of tech between sermons-Proclaim. Grateful for the great work you all do!
