Production cue and agenda pacing

Free Run of Show Timer

Use a run of show timer for event production, speaker cues, transitions, video rolls, breaks, stage resets, and closing moments. Keep the show flow visible and create an XTimer room when producers and stage teams need shared timing.

Built for this job

Production teams can see which program block is current and what comes next.

Stage managers can protect transitions, video rolls, and closing moments.

XTimer rooms support shared run of show timers across producer, stage, and display devices.

Presets that match real work

Start from a timer people already understand.

Each preset has a clear use case, duration, and workflow. That makes the page useful for search visitors immediately, and gives professional users a natural path into XTimer rooms when they need separate controller and viewer devices.

Professional setup

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

Keep transitions as their own segments when production cues matter.

Use short reset timers between high-risk blocks.

Share the timer with the crew, not necessarily the audience, when timing is operational.

Use an XTimer room when the producer controls timing and stage staff need a viewer.
