Upon launching Cue Pro, the main window will be shown - which consists of the following sections:

Controller Bar

Contains the main Timecode counter box, as well as the Selection in and out counter boxes, Audio Guide Track selector, Timelines & Cuelink controls.

Hover the mouse above a button or icon to show the Mouse-Over help window containing the name / function, and the keyboard shortcut in parenthesis (where relevant).

The Preferences window is made up of the following tabs:

Import Script

The Import Script window is accessed from File -> Import Events & selecting a supported file to import.
