Hello Proclaim community! 👋🏻
Today we shipped a new Proclaim 4.11 update that includes a couple of great new features, several under-the-hood improvements, and a bunch of bug fixes that should help make your services run a little smoother — whether you’re leading worship, running slides, or prepping media during the week.
Here’s what’s new and improved:
4K Canvas + Media Upload Support
You can now upload 4K media and set your Virtual Screen to a 4K aspect ratio in Settings > Display
New Optional Media Player (Windows only)
If you’ve had issues with Windows Media Player, you now have a new alternative player available. You can enable this in Settings > General

Smarter Click Behavior in Timeline & Grid Preview
Clicking a service item now scrolls it into view without jumping slides. Double-click to go straight to it. This should reduce accidental transitions, especially when your volunteers are On Air and just want to preview what's coming up next.
Sync Icon Now Shows More Detail
If something’s not syncing, you’ll now get a breakdown of what’s going wrong—making it easier to troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly.
HEIC/HEIF Image Support (Mac)
If you're using Proclaim on Mac, you can now import photos taken on an iPhone into Proclaim without needing to convert formats first. The file will convert and sync over to Windows so you can then use it across platforms.
New Web-Based Authorization
We’ve updated the Proclaim login experience to use our Logos auth portal. When signing in, you will first be prompted to enter the same username and password you already use in a web browser first, then you will return to Proclaim. This will feel similar to other modern apps you might be using that also offer a desktop client.
Here are the bugs we’ve squashed in this release:
- Fixed: Free trial accounts incorrectly showing locked features
- Fixed: Videos with custom start times now display the right first frame
- Fixed: Grid preview no longer jumps to the top when syncing
- Fixed: “Rename” in Order of Service now updates the correct item
- Fixed: Countdown shapes stay locked to text as expected
- Fixed: Long foreground names now truncate nicely in Smart Media Creator
- Fixed: Crash when compressing files (Mac), and rare load-time crash (Windows)
- Fixed: Improvements in the Song Library:
- “Switch songs” button is now always visible
- Notes field behaves more predictably
- Windows: You can now close the window with a single click
- Fixed: Image orientation and stretching issues when importing
- Fixed: PayPal cancel button now returns you to checkout properly
As always, we value your feedback! Let us know what you think of the new release or anything else that's on your mind.
