Livestream Run-of-Show Generator
PROCreate detailed run-of-show documents for 30-minute livestreams with precise timing, segment planning, technical cues, and engagement checkpoints that keep viewers watching.
Example Usage
I’m hosting a 30-minute YouTube live this Saturday covering “3 AI Tools That Changed My Workflow.” I want:
- A punchy hook that grabs viewers in the first 90 seconds
- Three 7-minute segments, one per tool
- A poll at the 15-minute mark asking which tool viewers want to try first
- Room for chat interaction
- A strong close with clear CTA to subscribe
Create a complete run-of-show with exact timestamps, camera/screen-share cues, and backup content if I run short.

What You’ll Get
- Complete minute-by-minute timeline with timestamps

- Clip markers for YouTube Shorts/TikTok extraction

Why This Matters
Research shows new viewers decide whether to stay within 60-120 seconds. Human attention resets every 6 minutes. Without a structured run-of-show:
- You ramble and lose focus
- Technical transitions are chaotic
- Viewers drop off at predictable points
- Post-production clipping takes hours instead of minutes
Professional streamers and broadcast producers have used run-of-show documents for decades. Now you can generate one in minutes.
