Works really well, but….

I used this program to run sound and video backing tracks for A Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical. It works brilliantly! However, when a singer is singing to a song that’s part of a video that’s playing, and the user running the program inadvertently hits the next cue button half way through the currently running video track… During a live production…
There is no playhead control! So going back to the previous cue and moving the playhead ahead to the point where the talent was singing, isn’t even an option.

Perhaps making it so that when the “Next” cue button is pressed, the playhead position is recorded so that when a new-button-that-needs-to-be-made-called-“Back” is pressed, the production can continue where it left off, and the 9 year old with a solo doesn’t have to sing acapella!

Also, it’s not very usable for rehearsals, as there’s no playhead. If you’re in a tech rehearsal for instance, and you want to do a cue to cue practise, you cant move the playhead ahead to the end of a song or video to work the transitions and practise the use of the software efficiently.

All this aside, the simplicity of creating cues and being able to advance consistently and reliably is a boon for any theatre looking for a platform to run shows with.
