NEXCUE Sync · The bridge

Bridge the desktop and
the team. On your terms.

Sync is the opt-in layer between NEXCUE Studio and NEXCUE Cloud. Per project, reversible, conflict-aware. Your showfile stays portable — the cloud never becomes the only copy.

Studio

Desktop runtime

Local project file · Offline-first

Cloud

Team workspace

Planning · Calendar · Templates

Opt-in, per project.

Turn Sync on for the projects that need it. Keep the others 100% local. The switch lives on the project, not on the account.

Conflict-aware merge.

Changes from desktop and cloud meet in a visual diff. You choose what lands — nothing silently overwrites your rundown.

Zero lock-in.

Export the showfile any time. Disable Sync and the project returns to local-only. The cloud enriches — it never imprisons.

Sync modes

Pick the direction that
matches the show.

Two-way

Full collaboration

Desktop and cloud stay in lockstep. Team edits in the cloud flow down; operator tweaks flow up. Conflicts surface for review.

  • Auto-sync on save
  • Live presence on shared rundowns
  • Merge UI for conflicts
Cloud → Desktop

Prep in cloud, run on desktop

The team builds and rehearses the rundown in the cloud. The operator pulls it to Studio before showtime and runs locally.

  • One-way pull at showtime
  • Runtime stays untouched after pull
  • Ideal for corporate & events
Desktop → Cloud

Archive & share

Run the show locally. Push the final project back to the cloud for archive, handover, or next-show templating.

  • Manual push after show
  • Version history in the cloud
  • Clone to template in one click
What Sync does
  • Syncs rundown, cues, templates, team assignments
  • Respects your local media cache — no re-downloads
  • Carries project metadata and version history
  • Surfaces conflicts instead of silently resolving them
What Sync never does
  • Fire cues. The runtime does that — always local.
  • Force a project online against your choice
  • Auto-resolve conflicts without your sign-off
  • Hold your show hostage — export is always one click

Desktop for the runtime. Cloud for the team. Sync is your choice.

Start local, add the cloud when you need it, keep the bridge reversible. That's the NEXCUE promise.
