Rundown, segment, break, return, cue, wrap

Free Producer Timer

Use a producer timer for rundown, segment, break, return, cue, and wrap. Create an XTimer room when producers, hosts, show callers, technical directors, AV operators, and stage managers need shared producer timing.

Built for this job

Producer timing teams can separate rundown, segment, break, return, cue, and wrap.

Teams can keep timing visible without replacing approved production rundowns, cue sheets, producer notes, platform rules, venue procedures, and authorized producers.

XTimer rooms support shared producer timers across producers, hosts, show callers, technical directors, AV operators, and stage managers devices.

Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use approved production rundowns, cue sheets, producer notes, platform rules, venue procedures, and authorized producers as the source of truth.

Use the timer for producer pacing only, not for editorial, broadcast compliance, venue safety, sponsor, labor, legal, or production decisions.

Keep producer notes, rundown notes, segment notes, break cues, return notes, and production handoffs in approved event, classroom, website, CMS, production, safety, accessibility, analytics, or operations systems.

Use an XTimer room when producers, hosts, show callers, technical directors, AV operators, and stage managers need one shared producer countdown.
