Make the show..

Starting Frame is a production toolkit for video and live events. Here's what each tool does, the ways to use it, and how you run a live show with your whole crew on the same page.

run a show · connect your crew

One driver. Many screens. Everyone on the same path.

In Next, one person drives the show. Invited crew watch a live feed tuned to their role — camera sees camera cues, audio sees audio, the floor sees what's now and what's next — so everyone knows what they need to know, when they need to know it.

Need to switch hands mid-show? Hand the wheel to another member. They drive from wherever they are — they just need their own membership.
