Cue types

Every cue has a type. The type tells CueProX — and your crew — what kind of moment this is: a song, a talk, a video, a Q&A session. Types also determine which additional fields are available: only Live Song cues show BPM, key, and time signature. The type's color appears on the cue row in the director view, making it easy to read the shape of a show at a glance.

Built-in types

CueProX ships with six system types. Their colors are fixed.

Live Song (pink) — for songs performed by a live band. Selecting this type unlocks BPM, key, time signature, and solo assignment fields. Use it whenever musicians need to see tempo and key at the moment the cue goes live.

Speaker (purple) — for talks, sermons, announcements, or any segment where a person is presenting. No music-specific fields.

Audio (cyan) — for pre-recorded audio playback. Backing tracks, sound effects, intro music, any cue where playback is the primary action.

Video (green) — for video playback. Bumpers, pre-rolls, recap videos, broadcast feeds, any media going to screen.

Presentation (light blue) — for slide-based content. A teaching deck, a lyrics display, a keynote, anything running through a presentation tool.

Q&A (amber) — for moderated audience question segments. When a Q&A cue becomes active, Q&A mode opens automatically. When the director advances past it, Q&A closes. The Q&A team's moderation queue is live for exactly the duration of this cue.

System types can't be deleted or renamed.

Custom types

If your shows have recurring moments that don't fit a built-in, you can create custom types for your room.

Go to the room's Cue types tab and use the Add custom type form. Give it a name and a color — either pick from the color swatch or enter a custom hex value. The new type appears in the cue type picker immediately, alongside the built-in types.

Custom types are room-scoped. A type created in one room isn't available in other rooms in the same location. If you need the same type in multiple rooms, create it in each room separately.

Custom types can be deleted from the Cue types tab when they're no longer needed.

Types and the cue form

The type you select changes what appears in the cue form. Switching types while the form is open shows and hides fields immediately:

• All types: title, timer settings, end action, team notes
• Live Song only: BPM, key, time signature, solos
• Q&A type: automatically marks the cue as a Q&A cue (no manual toggle needed)
