Why I Built a “Cue-and-Play” App for Video

2026.10.27

Something has bothered me for a long time as a video operator.
For audio, there are plenty of apps and samplers that let you fire sounds instantly with one press. But for video, I could hardly find an app built for the same kind of cue-and-play.

I’m a multi-creator, and I still run video operation at live shows and events today.
On the night, I want to play the right video, at the right moment, without fail.
I searched for software that makes that kind of operation easy, and tried many of them.
But most video players were VJ software: hard to learn and expensive. I kept thinking, “Isn’t there something more intuitive and simpler?”

That is where I started developing MEDIA WALL V1.
My goal was that you never get lost during a show. Arrange, select, play. It should work with just that.

Because I prioritized simple operation, the app does not currently support show control systems or remote control. MIDI, OSC, NDI and DMX are not supported. (We are considering support for the future.)
