Preview, then live
Nothing reaches the room until you send it.
Scripture built in
The KJV is offline in every plan, as verse slides or a scrolling reading. More versions to download.
Strong’s lexicon PLUS
The Greek or Hebrew behind any word, one tap away.
Lower thirds PLUS
Design it once with fill-in fields. Type the name, send it.
Stream and record PLUS
To YouTube, Facebook or any RTMP address, to a file, or over NDI. One click each.
Cameras and scenes PLUS
A camera behind the words or beside a lower third. Preview it, then Take it.

Chords for the band PLUS
On every phone in the band, transposed live, with StagePro Connect.
One search box
Songs, scripture and Strong’s, all from the same place.
Themes & backdrops
Themes set the type. A moving loop, a photo or your own video goes behind it.
Nothing leaves
No account, no cloud, nothing tracked.
Take the booth for a minute.
This is how the booth actually works. Space moves the preview, Enter sends it live, and the room sees nothing until you say so. Try finding the verse the speaker just called and quietly moved on from.

PREVIEW
LIVE
Each song is one item in the setlist and its verses are its slides. Space walks through them and rolls on to the next item, exactly as the app does. Shown in Classic, StagePro’s default theme. Scripture is the KJV, which ships with every plan.
A different picture on every screen. PLUS
The room gets the words in your theme. The stage gets the layout you choose: here the verse now, the verse next, a countdown and the time. The stream goes straight to YouTube or Facebook, with a camera behind the words if you like, or to OBS on solid black, ready to key. Every picture below is the app’s own output, captured while it ran.
Verse 1
Choose how the words sit.
A theme sets the type; a backdrop sits behind it — a loop, a photo, a colour or your own video. Five pairings, each one captured straight off the projector output.
Chords on every phone. PLUS
Each musician scans a QR code with StagePro Connect and follows along on their own phone, with live transpose, capo voicings and the Nashville Number System. Or put the chord view on a second screen and be done with it.
It follows the slide. The chart moves when the words move.
Transpose in one tap. Every player picks their own key. Try it on the phone here.
Chords on phones are in early access. The chord view on a second screen is ready now.
Amazing Grace

Verse 1John Newton · 3/4
Key G
Original key: GNext: Verse 2
Words up above the band.
When the screen sits behind the people on stage, the Stage Wall theme holds the lyrics up where the back row can still read them.
Stage Wall themeThe slide is StagePro’s. The room is an illustration, drawn to show that slide on a real stage wall.
One or two lines. Short, spaced capitals that read from the back row.
High on the screen. The words sit in the top quarter, clear of the band.
Any backdrop behind. A loop, a photo, a colour or your own video fills the rest of the wall.
Half a line is enough.
The speaker quotes half a verse and keeps going. Type whatever you caught; StagePro finds the verse and has it ready to send.
Search the whole Bible. A few words in any order. The closest verses come first.
Two Bibles side by side. PLUS Every verse in two versions at once, such as English beside Spanish or Tagalog.
Keeps going past the last verse. Next carries on into the next chapter, and back goes to the one before.
Its own look. Scripture keeps a theme of its own, so a song’s style never lands on a verse.
Every screen at a glance. PLUS
See what the room, the stream, the stage and the musicians are each looking at without leaving your chair. The small screens sit under Live and follow every slide.
Click one to see it large. It swaps with the Live monitor, and one more click swaps it back.
The real outputs. Each one is the same picture that screen is showing.
Only what’s open. The stage and musician screens appear when their windows do, or pick which ones to show.
Stream it, record it, in one click. PLUS
The Broadcast button in the toolbar starts the stream, the recording and NDI, and shows how each one is doing while it runs.
Any service. YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Twitch, Restream or any RTMP or RTMPS address. Save each one as a setup and pick it from the menu.
Says when the connection struggles. Dropped frames or a slow upload show in plain words, and a dropped connection comes back by itself.
A file of the whole service. Record to the computer with the sound, on its own or every time you stream.
To OBS and vMix. Send the same picture across your network over NDI®.
Cameras behind the words. PLUS
Put a camera, a video or another screen in a scene, with the words over it or as a lower third. Set it up in preview, then Take it live with a cut or a fade.
Any camera the computer sees. A webcam, a capture card, or an iPhone as a camera on a Mac.
Black is for the room. Black hides the words on the stream, never the camera.
The room and the stream, each their own. Run scenes on the stream only, or on the room screen as well.
The sound the stream hears. PLUS
Microphones, the app’s own music and videos, mixed for the stream and the recording, with a meter on each and one for the whole mix.
Hear what goes out. Listen on headphones to exactly what the stream carries.
Warns before it’s too loud. The whole-mix meter tells you to turn something down before the stream distorts.
The room stays as it is. Music and videos still play in the room the way they always do.
Design what the stage sees. PLUS
Start from a layout: the current and next slide, the words alone, or a clock and timer. Move any box, resize it, or build your own, and give every stage screen its own.
Five layouts to start from. Change one and your own copy is made; the original stays as it was.
Up to six stage screens. The pulpit, the band and the back wall, each with its own layout.
Undo anything. ⌘Z on a Mac, Ctrl+Z on Windows, while you arrange it.
Run it from your phone. PLUS
Scan a QR code with StagePro Connect and your phone is the remote. A PIN keeps it yours.
Next and back. Big buttons, with the live slide and what comes next in view.
Black, hide words, logo, alerts. The controls a speaker or worship leader reaches for.
Search and put it up. Find a song or a verse on the phone and send it to the screen.
StagePro Connect is coming soon. It works over the same Wi-Fi as the computer.
One app for every screen in the room.
StagePro Connect turns a phone, a tablet or a TV into any screen StagePro feeds. Scan the QR code in Wireless Cast and it connects, over the church’s own Wi-Fi.
The room screen
On a TV or a tablet, for an overflow room, the foyer or the back of the hall.
The stage display
The current and next slide, a clock and a timer, for the people up front.
Chords for the band PLUS
Each musician on their own phone, transposed live.
The remote PLUS
Next, back, black and search, in your hand, kept yours with a PIN.
iPhone and iPad Coming soonAndroid and Android TV Coming soon
Notation, for the ones who read it. PLUS
Attach a score to a song and any musician can swap from chords to notation on their own screen.
Follows their key. Transpose on the musicians’ screen and the notation moves with it.
From your notation app. Export MusicXML from MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale or Dorico and attach it to the song.
Chords are still there. One button swaps between the score and the chord chart.
Music under the slides.
Make a list of songs for the welcome, the offering or the walk-out, and it plays under whatever is on screen.
Fades in and out. You choose how long.
Videos come first. When a video with sound starts, the music keeps playing, pauses and carries on after, or stops. Your choice, for each video.
How a video ends. Hold the last frame, go to black or back to the slide, with or without a fade.
Your slides, and the speaker’s.
Design your own with layouts, the church’s brand and animations. Or open the speaker’s PowerPoint, Keynote or LibreOffice deck, and StagePro shows it as they made it, animations and videos included. No office app needed on the booth computer.
Layouts and snapping. Start a slide from a layout, line things up as you drag, and text fits its box.
Your church’s look. Save your colours and fonts as the church’s brand, and every design that follows it changes with it.
Animations of your own. Bring words and pictures in, out and across a slide, on a click or by themselves.
The web, without leaving the booth.
A browser built into the app, bookmarked for the sites a media team actually opens: lyrics, scripture, free photos and planning.
Downloads go where they belong. A photo or video you download appears in Media, ready to use as a backdrop.
Words become a song. Select lyrics on a page and send them to StagePro as a new song to check and save.
Your own bookmarks. Add your church’s sites next to the starter set.

Questions from the media booth.
No. Everything runs on your own computer: your songs, the KJV Bible, the Strong’s lexicon, your themes and backdrops. There is nothing to sign in to and nothing to sync, so a Wi-Fi outage changes nothing mid-event. You need the internet to download the app and extra Bible versions, and once to activate a Plus license. After that, Plus checks its license when you’re online.
Free covers one screen: unlimited songs, the KJV Bible as verse slides or a scrolling reading, every free theme and backdrop, countdowns and alerts, one more Bible of your choice, and Theme Studio for type, outline, shadow and the CCLI credits line. Plus gives each screen its own picture: the room sees the words in your theme, the stage sees the layout you choose on up to six stage screens, and the stream gets its own look and can go straight to YouTube or Facebook, be recorded to a file, or go to OBS over NDI. Plus also adds cameras and scenes, sound for the stream with microphones and Listen, theme layouts, your logo and shapes on every slide, theme files to share, lower thirds with fill-in fields, overlays, the Strong’s lexicon and every Bible version.
Each computer that runs a screen needs its own license. Two computers? Get Plus for each. Three or more? Campus covers up to five computers at one church, such as the booth, the stage, the stream and a laptop for preparing at home, for $24.99 a month or $249 a year, with one license key for the whole team. You can move a license to a new computer yourself, any time.
That is who it is built for. It is one window: the service on the left, the live screen on the right, and songs, scripture and media in a drawer below. Build the service, pick a look, press Enter. The preview shows each slide first, and nothing reaches the screen until you send it.
Yes. Import ChordPro, OpenLyrics or FreeWorship XML, OnSong and plain text files, or a StagePro backup. The built-in browser can also turn lyrics you select on a page, or a ChordPro file you download, into a new song. Ten public-domain hymns come with the app to start from.
Yes, with Plus. Put the chord view on a second screen, or let each musician scan a QR code with the StagePro Connect app and follow along on their own phone, with live transpose, capo voicings and the Nashville Number System. StagePro Connect is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
Yes, with Plus, in two ways. StagePro can send its broadcast picture across your network to OBS, vMix and other software that is compatible with NDI®, or OBS can add StagePro’s stream page as a browser source: solid black for keying, with lyrics or lower thirds in their own stream theme. StagePro can also stream straight to YouTube or Facebook itself, without OBS. NDI® is a trademark of Vizrt NDI AB. StagePro is not a product of, or sponsored by, them. About NDI
Yes, with Plus. Press Record in the Broadcast menu and StagePro saves the broadcast picture and its sound to a video file on the computer. It can record on its own, or keep a copy every time you stream.
Yes, with Plus. A webcam, a camera on a capture card or an iPhone can go full screen or behind the words, on the room screen, the stage display and the stream. Set up a scene in preview, then Take it live with a cut or a fade.
No. There is no StagePro account, no cloud, and nothing that tracks how you use it. Your song library and everything you design stay on your computer. The only thing StagePro sends is the Plus license check: your license key and this computer’s name, so you can see which computers use your license. Payments are handled by Polar.
In the StagePro group on Facebook: ask a question, share your setup, and see how other churches run their Sundays. We’re there too.
Yes, please. Suggest it on the ideas board and vote for what other churches have asked for. We read every idea, and the board shows what’s planned and what’s done.
A church media team. They built it for their own services and events, and they still run it there.
Try it this Sunday.
It’s free to start.
No account, no contract, and no internet needed on the day.
Made by a church media team who still run it in their own services.
