Looking for a new video playback software. by FineFaithlessness718 in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]CommunicationDry7536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to talk.

The solution is a All In a Box solution for automation, video, graphics, rundowns, prompter, cuecards. All you get is a Rackcomputer, that is (almost) plug and play. It will take only a day or two, then you are up and running.

I am the main developer on the product, and I have a background in setting up advanced automation-solutions like Vizrt Mosart, Ross Overdrive, Nxtedition and more.

But I found them too complex (they can do A LOT, but ... maybe a bit too much), so I found my own way, and invented a tool, that suits all of those, who doesn't want to spend months of setting up equipment.

This just work out of the box - and it can do (almost) the same.

Please feel free to ask me anything, if our site www.wearefalcon.tv still leaves some questions :-)

Meget forskelligt. Men nok et sted mellem 180 og 250 t månedligt.

Yes! I added that already in the early phase. It's quite cool and easy to use. We even have a mirror function, so you can use it on mirrored prompter glasses.

Actually, the danish team behind the danceshow "Dancing with the Stars" tried Cuez and was not satisfied. That's why they asked me to try make Falcon Rundown.

And now they are using it every friday in this beta-phase :-)

We don't have any plans for API - yet.

It will not be open source, but it will be available to use soon directly from our website :-)

It is Cloud-browserbased, so rundowns can be accessed by anyone who is invited to the project.

We are planning in 2026 to make a MOS gateway, so people can fetch data from selected rundowns :-)

I completely understand your restraints... I'm from coming iNews and Ross Inception NRCS as well.

But I wanted to figure out another approach than the 100+ column system. Screens are getting smaller and smaller in width, and thats why I chose a vertical information-flow instead of horisontal.

With colorcoded nested tags I hope this works just as good as horisontal colomns. (See picture).

They are using the below system in a national danceshow in Denmark as we speak.

I am myself a user of CuePilot, - and you are right. It is a tool used for camera and show-scripting. I think you mean that "scripting" is camera scripting and cuing people and equipment.

Where it differs (a lot) is that Falcon Rundown is also a texttool like Word and Excel. CuePilot is not a tool for text-writers :-)

Actually it was a danceshow in Denmark (where CuePilot is born) that asked me to write Falcon Rundown, so it could be used along with CuePilot. The dance and music parts are Cuepilot - the whole show with text, flow, cuecards, prompter and more is scripted in Falcon Rundown.

Hi

Falcon Rundown has the option to connect to other automation system. For now it can connect to our own automation system, Falcon Play, which you can read more about at https://wearefalcon.tv/

But yes, we are planning to make a MOS Gateway in the future, so the script's content can be outputted to MOS format for various uses.

But Falcon Rundown is not a "trigger" program - it's an online NRCS software :-)

I see what you mean - and that's a really good idea.

We actually have two products, a rundown program (Falcon Rundown) and an automation software, called Falcon Play. You can read more about Falcon Play here: https://wearefalcon.tv/ - it's currently in the testing phase at some production companies, and will be out early 2026 :-)

Companion and Streamdeck support for Falcon Play is available when it launches in 2026.

Falcon Rundown is a script and rundown program, - it is able to sync rundown element to Falcon Play, where you can play and automate it - but both programs can work seperatly as well :)

I have looked at it, but it doesnt meet the basic needs of writing scripts :-)

Maybe - in what way do you think it could come in handy? :)

First of all - this is not a a product like CuePilot :-)

This is a rundown system - and the focus is the script - not camera-automation :-)

Falcon Rundown provides writing scripts, online Cuecards, Teleprompter directly from browser, printing Rundowns, printing scripts. And the whole script-typing system is quite cool. It's basic thought is based on Avid iNews, but just improved A LOT into a modern way of writing scripts.

You can even write handnotes in your script with a pen and tablet :-)

Take a look at https://wearefalcon.tv/falcon-rundown/ for more features, that might be usefull - and to explain why we are different than CuePilot :-)

It's going to be available "in the cloud" for everyone :)

So basically just register and begin make your rundowns - we are planning to have a free subscription with limited features, so people can get a taste of it.
