Key Features
Second Screen Output
Full-screen output to any connected display with automatic multi-monitor detection. Live preview and program monitoring side by side.
Preview & Program
Dual-monitor workflow with live preview and program output. Prepare your next media while the current one plays on screen.
11 Transition Types
Cut, Crossfade, Fade-to-Black, Wipe (4 directions), Push (4 directions), and Zoom In/Out — all with adjustable duration (100–5000ms).
External Display Control
Select output screen from a dropdown, open/close display with one click, and refresh connected monitors. Auto-fullscreen on secondary screen.
8 Playlist Tabs
Manage up to 8 independent playlists in one project. Switch between tabs instantly without interrupting program playback. Double-click any tab to rename it. All tabs save and load together as a single .ssp file.
Playlist & Autoplay
Build playlists with drag-to-reorder, autoplay, shuffle, loop toggle, per-item loop, IN/OUT trim points, adjustable image hold duration, and total duration footer. Video thumbnails for quick visual identification.
Video Snapshot
Capture the current video frame as a PNG with one click directly from the Preview or Program monitor. Files are saved automatically to your Pictures folder with a timestamp filename — no setup required.
Holding Image
Upload a logo or branding image that displays on the output screen between content. Perfect for conferences and live events. Saved with your playlist file and auto-restored on load.
3-Channel Audio Mixer
AUD, VID, and MST faders with independent volume. 15-segment LED-style stereo VU meters with real PCM-based metering and color-coded levels.
Per-Item Color Correction
Zoom, independent Zoom W/H, brightness, contrast, saturation, color temperature (warm/cool), per-item volume trim, and clip speed (0.25x–2.0x). Live preview thumbnail with real-time effect updates and one-click RESET.
Cylinder Scroll
Seamless horizontal scroll effect designed for 360° LED walls and cylindrical displays. Choose direction (Left/Right) and speed, saved per item with the playlist.
Clip Speed Control
Set per-item playback rate from 0.25x to 2.0x directly from the Edit popup. Speed is saved with the playlist and applied the moment the item goes live.
In/Out Points & Countdown
Set precise IN/OUT trim marks per video. Program monitor shows countdown timer with color-coded warnings (red <10s, amber <30s) and video resolution/FPS badge.
Dedicated Audio Player
Independent audio channel for background music with cue IN/OUT points, loop, stereo VU metering, and volume control.
Rename & Edit Items
Rename playlist items with custom display names. Edit popup with live thumbnail preview showing all adjustments in real time.
Cue Panel
A dedicated live-operation strip showing the current cue name, next-up item, and PREV/NEXT navigation. The GO button fires the active transition and automatically advances Preview to the next item so you're always one cue ahead.
STILL
Freeze the program output on the last video frame instead of going to black. Perfect for holding on a title slide, graphic, or presenter image between content.
Configurable Keyboard Shortcuts
Assign any key to any action from the built-in Shortcuts panel. All 30+ actions — transitions, transport, playlist navigation, cue GO, toggles, and more — are fully reassignable and saved automatically.
Save & Load Projects
Save your entire show as a single .ssp file — all 8 playlist tabs, item settings, transition state, audio levels, and output configuration. Double-click a .ssp file in Windows Explorer to open it directly.
