Text Variables

Text Variables allow you to use the $ key within a cell and enter a variable to store important information that may change over time.

This can be super helpful for…

  • Video durations: Track asset lengths and keep them updated when new edits come in.
  • Call times: Crew and talent arrival times used across pre-show notes, standby cues, and production schedules that often shift.
  • Guest/Sponsor names and pronunciations: Interview subject details used across intro segments, lower thirds, question blocks, and outro credits.
  • Venue or location names: Shooting locations mentioned in multiple segments, used in graphics, and referenced in logistics notes.
  • And lots more.

Get started by adding a Text Variable and using it in your rundown - Learn more about how it works in our documentation.

New in the Public API

Update a specific cue from our API. Send the following request and body:

PATCH: /rundown/{rundownId}/cues/{cueId}

Body:

  • title <string>: Set the cue’s title.
  • subtitle <string>: Set the cue’s subtitle.
  • duration <number>: Set the duration of the cue (in milliseconds).
  • startMode <fixed|flexible>: Hard Start (fixed) or Soft Start (flexible) cue.
  • startTime <date-time>: Start time as a timestamp - Only applied to Hard Start cues.

And more…

  • Fix: Upload large files to any cell is now working as expected.
  • Fix: “Jump to Cue” API now handles non-running rundowns.
  • Fix: Refactored internal time ticking logic to ensure smoother performance when running a show.
