ShowRevueLog inGet notifiedAbout
ShowRevue started because a wide shot on a backstage monitor and a notebook of approximate times is a poor record of a very expensive week. It's built in Australia, and used in working venues while we build it.
How we build it
The app runs on your Mac. Recordings, cue data, notes and show files sit on your disk, and Stage Display and Live Notes run over your own network. Nothing about a show has to leave the building. The cloud show exists because venue networks are often unusable.
Anything that can drive a lighting console during a performance has to be boring about safety. A Show session sends nothing to the desk while it records, and Stop becomes hold-to-stop. Monitor Only cuts every outbound path at once, and the Output Audit Trail logs every command that leaves, including the ones the lock stopped.
Features arrive because a run needed them. The DMX record trigger exists because nobody in the box wanted to remember to press record. Named timecode sections exist because takes with show stops read back as a mess. Crash recovery exists for the obvious reason.
Any camera macOS recognises, any Core Audio interface, the console you already have, the clock your building already sends. No proprietary hardware, no dongle, and the recording is a file anyone can open.
Output Audit Trail
Everything ShowRevue sends to a desk or media server is listed, including the commands the show lock stopped.
Where it's up to
ShowRevue is pre-1.0 and ships often. The changelog is the honest version of where it's at: new capability most months, and a steady run of fixes found by people using it with an audience in the room.
Feature requests, venue problems, education pricing, or whether it'll talk to something odd in your rig.
