With Cue Pro 26, we merged the original Cue Pro and ADR Master into a single application, and brought a long list of new features along with it, all built around two operational modes: Integrated and Media Mode.
Nothing was lost in the merge: whichever product you came from, you now have access to everything, with the freedom to choose whichever mode fits how you work. To show what each mode looks like in practice, we made two short video tutorials, one for each.
See it in action
Integrated Mode: Cue Pro, live in Pro Tools
If your video's already in Pro Tools, Integrated Mode is only one plug-in away. Insert Cue Pro Connect on a track and that's the entire setup: sync and control are already handled, nothing further to configure. Cue creation is just as direct: select a range in Pro Tools and create a cue from it in one step. And if your audio is transcribed in Pro Tools, Cue Pro can turn the whole transcription into cues at the click of a button, text and timing already in place.
Everything lives in the session with no separate project file to manage.
Media Mode: Cue Pro's own engine, any DAW
Need to work standalone, drive multiple independent video outputs, or sync to a DAW other than Pro Tools? Media Mode gives you Cue Pro's own video and audio engine, with independent overlay settings and sync offset for each display. Sync playback to Pro Tools via Satellite Link, to any other DAW via MTC and MMC, or run entirely on your own. Cue creation is just as flexible: create cues from scratch, or use Cue Pro's own transcription engine. Drag a transcribed clip from the new transcription track onto a character track and the cue appears there and then, text and timing already in place.
The two modes side by side
| Integrated Mode | Media Mode | |
| Works without Pro Tools | No | Yes, standalone or synced to Pro Tools |
| Setup | Insert the Cue Pro Connect plug-in in Pro Tools | Add video, set up DAW Sync and DAW Control |
| Project data location | Saved with the Pro Tools session | Separate Cue Pro project file |
| Video engine | Pro Tools AVE | Cue Pro Media Engine |
| Multiple video displays, independent overlays | No | Yes |
| Per-display sync offset | No | Yes |
| Play back multiple video files at once | No | Yes, A/B, split-screen, PiP |
Both modes read the same project data and share the same cue import options, so a session started in one mode is never locked out of the other. You can switch whenever the job changes.
