Video 'Soundboard' for Presentations
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m staging a play and need a lightweight Windows app that behaves like a soundboard—only for video. On my laptop the main screen will show the control panel; the projector is set as the secondary display. When I hit a button, its assigned clip must spring to life full-screen on the projector while the grid of buttons stays on the laptop for the operator.
Because the show has many cues, I’ll need well over ten buttons arranged in a clear, evenly spaced grid. Each button should be easy to label and re-assign to any local MP4, MOV or AVI file without touching the code—drag-and-drop or a simple config file is fine. Precise, stutter-free playback is critical, along with instant stop or a fast fade-to-black transition so we can clear the screen between scenes. The cursor and any interface chrome must never appear on the projection output.
Deliverables
• Stand-alone Windows executable (no installer required)
• Simple method to map/change video files and button labels
• Option to stop or fade out the current clip instantly
• Documentation covering setup, dual-display selection and basic troubleshooting
Allow multiple "shows" so you can select which 'board' you want to use for the presentation.
I’ll test on a Windows 10 laptop connected to a 1080p projector; final approval comes once all cues run smoothly during rehearsal.
