Music Cue Sheet Manager [BETA]
presented by APM Music

The tool will be available soon, but can already be tested by our users.

The Music Cue Sheet Manager represents the next stage in the management of cue sheets for film and series production. It offers a comprehensive range of options for importing cue data from a multitude of sources and for creating music cue sheets. The tool is compatible with sequences from Media Composer, Premiere Pro, Resolve, and Final Cut Pro. It merges multiple tracks and removes invisible cuts to produce a clean list. Based on file names, metadata for the music tracks can also be automatically added to the cue sheet if they come from one of our partner libraries. The export can be customized using presets and exported to a variety of formats, including CSV, XLSX, PDF, and more.




Import cues from an NLE sequence

The tools make it easy to import a sequence from any major editing software. It can handle EDL, XML, and FCPXML files, making it easy to transfer timecode-relevant cue data from Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Apple Final Cut X, and DaVinci Resolve. An experimental option for AAF files is also available to import track names.




Importing cues from a Pro Tools mix session

Mastering a show in Pro Tools? This tool is able to import a Session Info as text files .txt, making it easy to transfer timecode and track informations directly from Avid Pro Tools.

The tool is also capable of reading EXIF metadata stored within audio files. A variety of formats can be uploaded and scanned, including MP3, WAV, AIF, AIFF, M4A, OGG, FLAC, WMA, AAC, APE, and OPUS files. This enables to easier search for metadata that might originate from a third party or an music library that is not connected to our tool yet.

Scan libraries for metadata

By partnering with over 20 production music libraries, the tool is able to automatically pull metadata for tracks from these libraries. The metadata contains not only the track name and artist but also details about the label, publisher, composer details, and shares. Please note that the available metadata depends on the library.

Entries can be edited, sorted and optimized, with the option of merging and manipulating metadata. Please note that entries can be automatically merged and durations summed.
