Studio Help

1. Download and install
   Get Presence Studio from the link your team shared, drag it to Applications, and open it. macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, Apple silicon.
2. Link this Mac to your church
   On first launch, enter your campus join code (find it on your Studio account page under Campuses).
3. Approve it
   Open your owner pass (the link emailed at signup) and approve the code shown on the Mac. No separate login needed.
4. Add your output screen
   Connect the projector or TV, then in Screens assign it as your audience wall. You are live.

Which campus a Mac drives

Each campus has its own join code, so a Mac binds to the room it should run. The account and campus name show under the logo in the sidebar, so anyone knows what this Mac is driving. Add or rename campuses from your Studio account page.

Build your service as a flow of cues: scripture passages, song lyrics, backgrounds, lower-thirds, camera shots. Tap a cue to take it live; the next cue sits on deck (gold) while the live one is marked ON AIR (red). Turn on auto-advance to step through verses hands-free, and save a whole service to reuse it next week.

Add a scripture passage or a song and Studio breaks it into slides you step through. Multiple Bible translations are bundled offline; add an ESV key in Settings to unlock the ESV. Voice follow can track the reading and advance for you.

Four styles (bar, gradient, minimal, and your own image or video), a Take / Clear control, and saved presets that travel with the service. The accent colour can be a custom pick, a worship preset, or auto-matched to the scene on screen.

Turn a phone into a wireless camera with the companion link, or bring in a connected camera, and cut it to the wall or an overflow screen. If a camera stalls at connecting, keep the Mac and the phone on the same network.

Light Desk

Group fixtures into zones and set colour and dim for a whole zone at once. Bump flashes a fixture or zone to full while you hold it; Blackout and Full take the rig to 0 or 100 and are reversible. Save looks and recall them live, or let the lights follow the atmosphere.

Philips Hue: pair your bridge and give each light a role, follow the stage wash, hold a fixed colour, or mirror a specific DMX fixture.

Send different content to each screen: the main wall, a confidence monitor, an overflow room, a lower-third-only feed for your stream. Manage them all in Screens.

Studio runs on a subscription per your size tier. While unlicensed or on an expired trial, outputs carry a small Presence mark; subscribing clears it. Manage your plan and campuses from your Studio account page on presencepass.com.

Studio checks for updates automatically and can install them with one click (restarts once to finish). You can also check any time from Presence Studio › Check for Updates, and toggle automatic updates in Settings.
