New Rehearsal Mode for Multi-Camera Live and Studio Entertainment
Multi-camera live and studio show workflows just got a lot smoother with the launch of Dramatify’s new, cloud-powered rehearsal mode.
The feature addresses workflow problems experienced during rehearsals for big live and music shows, offering a more efficient, streamlined experience and removing the need for manual workarounds. Designed for the rundown script format, the new rehearsal mode complements Dramatify’s existing live-mode rundown, which is built for live broadcasts, streaming and live-to-tape shows.
“We listened to our customers and addressed the challenges they were experiencing during rehearsals for multi-camera live and studio shows,” says Annika Lidne, CEO of Dramatify. “Our new rehearsal mode feature is designed to enhance the workflow experience, making it easier for professionals in the industry to rehearse their shows with accuracy and efficiency.”
From rehearsal seamlessly to live
The new rehearsal mode is built for rehearsing an entire show from top to bottom. Unlike live mode, it has a timer pop-up that users can pause, reset, cancel, save and step forward from — ideal for rehearsal mishaps and restarts. Teams can run rehearsal mode as many times as needed before switching to live mode when ready to go on air.
