How it works

Three steps, from rundown to control room

Prepare

Add the blocks of your rundown: title, type, duration, assignee. Reorder them by dragging or with the arrows.

Check

Total duration and the margin against your planned time are calculated for you. You know right away if the program overruns.

Bring it to the control room

Print a ready table, export a PDF, or bring the rundown straight into Showlane as a playlist.

Features

Everything you need to get ready

Block-based rundown

Title, type, duration, assignee and notes for every block.

  • Video, live segment, break, sponsor, camera change
  • Reorder by dragging or with the up/down arrows
  • A block's notes can become the script with CueLane

Timing, always in view

No more adding up durations by hand on a spreadsheet.

  • Total duration calculated automatically
  • Margin or overrun against your available time
  • Calculated start time for every single block

Print and PDF for the control room

A clean table, built to be scanned at a glance.

  • Separate columns, alternating rows, a bold header
  • Landscape layout, even for long rundowns
  • One-click PDF export, alongside printing

Export

Your rundown doesn't stay trapped in a browser tab.

  • For Showlane, as a ready-to-use playlist
  • Full backup in JSON
  • Re-import it anytime
