A Python-based automation tool designed to standardize and reformat ProPresenter 7 song files (.pro) at scale. This tool is particularly useful for cleaning up large libraries (1000+ songs) to ensure consistent typography, slide length, and layout.

• Automatic Slide Re-segmentation: Automatically splits song lyrics into slides with a maximum of 2 lines per slide, ensuring optimal readability.
• Consistent Typography: Applies a standardized RTF-based format (White text, Center Aligned, Arial Black, 40pt) to all slides.
• Bulk Processing: Processes all .pro files in an input directory and outputs them to a designated folder.
• Structure Preservation: Maintains original song components including Groups (Verse, Chorus, Bridge, etc.) and Arrangements.
• Background Cleanup: Strips existing media actions/backgrounds from slides to provide a clean slate for new visual themes.
• Protobuf Driven: Uses ProPresenter 7's native Protocol Buffer format for high-fidelity file manipulation.

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/gitoonga/pro_proto.git
   cd pro_proto

2. Setup the Virtual Environment:

   • Windows (PowerShell):

     .\setup_venv.ps1

   • Windows (CMD):

     setup_venv.bat

3. Activate the environment:

   .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

1. Prepare Input Files: Place the .pro files you want to reformat into the test_files/ directory.
2. Run the Script:

   python batch_reformat.py

3. Retrieve Results: The reformatted files will be generated in the output_files/ directory.

You can specify custom input and output directories using command-line arguments:

python batch_reformat.py --input "C:\Path\To\My\Songs" --output "C:\Path\To\Output"

Or using short flags:

python batch_reformat.py -i "C:\Path\To\My\Songs" -o "C:\Path\To\Output"

You can easily customize the formatting by editing the SETTINGS block in batch_reformat.py:

# batch_reformat.py

# Formatting Settings
font_name = "Arial-Black"
font_size = 80  # Half-points (e.g., 80 = 40pt)
max_lines = 2   # Maximum lines per slide

• batch_reformat.py: The main automation script.
• ProPresenter7-Proto/: Contains the protobuf definitions and generated Python classes.
• test_files/: Input directory for original .pro files.
• output_files/: Output directory for processed files.
• requirements.txt: Python dependencies (protobuf, striprtf).
