Looking at CuePoints? Here is what CueSync does

What CueSync does

For the job: building and running a theatre cue list.

• A timeline for a scripted show

  The Show Editor lays your audio out as a running order of Parts on one show-wide timecode, with a lane for each department. Edits snap to frames, beats or phrase boundaries, the audio's own sections and energy sit under the cues, and the capture bar punches a labelled cue at the playhead from the number keys while the audio plays.

• Markers you already have

  Import Markers turns the marker list exported from Lightworks, Premiere, Resolve, Audacity, Pro Tools or a MIDI file into a new Part, so a show prepped in an editor starts with its cues where the markers put them.

• grandMA3 Session Sync

  Session Sync pushes a Theatre cue list into a grandMA3 sequence as a previewed merge: it lists every command it would send and sends nothing until you confirm, never re-stores a cue you did not change, numbers a cue inserted between 1 and 2 as 1.5 so nothing already on the desk moves, reads the desk's cue list back, and sends the Timecode object over the same connection. The sequence push has been run on a physical grandMA3 console.

• Calling the show

  Run Mode shows the cue you are calling, its countdown, the running order behind it and timecode health on one operator screen. Each cue fires on timecode, on GO, as a Follow or as an Autocontinue, and DRY steps the running order through with nothing sent to the desk, the media server or the rig, CueSync's own timecode outputs included.

• Paperwork for every department

  Export the operator list, calling script, running order or one department's sheet from the cue list you built, as PDF, HTML, CSV or Markdown. A Theatre show's lighting sheet also exports as a USITT ASCII cue list, which carries cue numbers, labels and fade times rather than channel levels, and its cue positions export as REAPER markers.

• The cue list into QLab

  Send Cue List to QLab creates a QLab cue for each cue of a Part, with its number, name and notes, so the sound department does not retype the list. The cues arrive as placeholders with no audio, it never deletes or changes a cue that is already there, and it is refused while a show is live.

• The crew sees the show

  Switch on Companion, scan a QR code on the venue Wi-Fi, and any iPad, phone or laptop backstage becomes a live crew board, with nothing to install.

• The house clock's own zero

  Each show can carry the house-clock reading that means its own zero, so a desk running from 01:00:00:00 lines up with the show. Set the venue origin on the Timecode screen once per venue.

• An output that drops is named

  When an output stops answering, CueSync keeps trying to reconnect, and once repeated attempts fail it raises an alert and marks the pads that use it. Before doors, Flight Check names each output your cues target that will not answer, with the number of cues routed to it; on an output that sends without an answer, a pass means the command was sent.
