For ADR, dubbing and localization workflows

CueForge

Write complete dialogue scripts in one app. Create ADR and dubbing cues from Word or Excel scripts, connect CueForge with Pro Tools for recording, and export CSV, Word, subtitle files or a customizable Pro Tools session.

ADR / Dubbing / Localization

Built for every part of the ADR and localization chain

CueForge is not aimed at one narrow role. It connects the people who write, cue, record, review and deliver dialogue-driven material.

Dialogue script authors
Write with picture, text and cues in one place. If a cue editor prepared the cue script first, the cues are already in the project while the dialogue is adapted.
Cue and dialogue editors
Import Word or Excel scripts, derive roles automatically and create cues by highlighting the text that should be cued.
Recording engineers
Control Pro Tools from CueForge, name tracks per cue and switch track states for Preview, Record, Review and ADR.
Subtitlers
Import, check and export subtitle files. Use overlays to see how subtitles sit in picture before delivery.
Script to cue

Create cues from scripts instead of rebuilding everything by hand.

CueForge keeps the dialogue script close to the timeline. Word and Excel material can be brought into the project, roles can be inferred from the document, and selected text can become the basis for new cues.

Recording

Run ADR and dubbing sessions with Pro Tools connected.

The DAW Control view is built around real studio takes. Track naming and the Track Matrix let engineers decide how each track behaves during preroll, recording and postroll.

CueForge can run a local Script Reader for tablets or second displays on the same network, with live cue updates and a clean chronological view for the room.

Editable shortcuts
Dialogue insertion, navigation, playback, cue editing, DAW control and script actions can be mapped to the way you work.
MIDI control
Shortcut actions can also be learned from MIDI CC or Note On messages for physical controllers.
Detachable layouts
Important windows and editors can be separated when the session needs more than one screen.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Can CueForge create cues from Word or Excel scripts?

Yes. CueForge can import script material and use highlighted dialogue to create cues, instead of forcing editors to rebuild every cue manually.

Can CueForge derive characters or roles from imported scripts?

Yes. The script workflow is designed to infer roles from structured documents so the editor can focus on the text that needs to be cued.

Do I need Pro Tools to use CueForge?

No. Script, cue, subtitle and export workflows can be useful without Pro Tools. Pro Tools integration becomes important for ADR and dubbing recording sessions.

What does the Pro Tools export create?

CueForge can create a customizable Pro Tools session workflow with CueForge audio files and cues represented as group clips.

Can actors or directors follow the script on a tablet?

Yes. The local Script Reader can show the script chronologically on a tablet or second monitor in the same studio network.

Which subtitle formats are supported?

CueForge can work with SRT and EBU-TT-D for subtitle import, checking and export workflows.
