ShowRevue User Guide

ShowRevue is a macOS app for theatrical productions. It records your camera feed with a burned-in lighting cue overlay, tracks cues from your lighting console in real time, and streams show state to venue devices via Stage Display.

Start a production with the Launch New Show wizard: it walks you through the show details and acts, the camera and program audio, your lighting console, media server and timecode, then the cloud show and team, and writes a .srshow project at the end. Skip it for the quick path and set things up later in Preferences.
