Coming from ProPresenter
Bring your ProPresenter library. Every Section comes with it.
Drag the folder onto Nave. You see everything it found before a single file is copied.
- Songs, Media and text presentations. Nave reads the library where ProPresenter keeps it. Sermon notes and readings saved like Songs are marked, so you choose what they become.
- Review before import. Everything Nave found is listed first. Tick what comes across; Songs already in Nave are left alone.
- Your ProPresenter library stays as it is. Nave only copies. Nothing in ProPresenter changes, and you can import again later from Settings.
Try it with your own library.
Free has no time limit. Individual and Team each come with 30 days free, no card. Pay in dollars or Naira.
- Free: $0
- Individual: $29 a month (₦29,000)
- Team: $39 a month (₦39,000, founding price)
