Looks, levels, cues, and final checks

Free Lighting Check Timer

Use a lighting check timer for video shoots, live streams, stage looks, cue checks, remote presenter setup, and final readiness. Create an XTimer room when lighting, camera, and production teams need shared setup timing.

Built for this job

Production teams can keep lighting checks from consuming the whole setup window.

Camera teams can coordinate final look review with lighting changes.

XTimer rooms support shared lighting check timers across operators, camera, and production.
