Not a trial. No paywalls, no gimmicks — no registration, no account, no waiting. Download CueDirector and start building your show today.
One installer, every feature. CueDirector runs in Demo Mode automatically — full access to script view, cue building, the cue list, audio, video, and PTZ camera control, right out of the box. The only things Demo Mode holds back are live DMX lighting output and control of a connected Behringer/Midas X32/M32 console.
Planning to record performances? You'll want more headroom — see our Equipment Recommendations for recording-specific specs.
No trial, no paywalls, no gimmicks. CueDirector is 100% free for schools and community theaters — it's my gift to the drama community.
Every download runs in Demo Mode automatically — no key required, and it never expires. Explore every screen, build cues, and rehearse against the bundled tutorial show. The only limits are live DMX lighting output and control of a connected X32/M32 console, so you can learn the entire app before committing to hardware.
Registration happens right inside CueDirector, not on this site. Open the app, fill out the registration form, and once your school or community theater is approved, we'll email you a free license key — no strings attached. One key unlocks DMX and mixer control for your whole organization — use it on every computer your program owns.
Every install places a full User Manual and a step-by-step tutorial guide in your Documents > CueDirector > Documents folder, with Start Menu shortcuts to open them directly. We strongly recommend printing the tutorial and working through it before your first rehearsal — it walks you through building a real show from scratch, cue by cue, and every sound and video asset it uses is already included, so you're never hunting for a missing file.
