How to Control ANYTHING from ProPresenter (Using Companion & MIDI)

Did you know you can control your lights, video switcher, and PTZ cameras right from your ProPresenter slides?

If ProPresenter doesn't natively support a device you want to control, you aren't out of luck. You just need a bridge. That bridge is Bitfocus Companion.

In today's deep-dive tutorial, I show you how to use MIDI to trigger Companion buttons directly from ProPresenter Macros.

You'll learn:
✅ How to connect ProPresenter to Companion on both Mac (IAC Driver) and Windows (Loop MIDI).
✅ The secret to matching MIDI Notes to Companion Buttons (Channel = Page, Note = Row, Intensity = Column).
✅ How to build a Macro in ProPresenter that fires a MIDI note the second you click a slide.

Note: This process involves some specific networking and port settings, so make sure you grab the cheat sheet below to follow along!
