Music Cue Sheet Uploader

This plugin helps film editors easily prepare edits for the music cue sheet process, eliminating the need to exchange XMLs or EDLs from Premiere Pro. The plugin allows to quickly filter music by generating a list of active tracks or by using one of the many filter options. The generated list can be previewed, adjusted, and uploaded to an EditingTools.io account with one click using an API key. Then, the cue sheet can be processed further in the EditingTools.io Cue Sheet Manager by automatically adding metadata from production music libraries and exporting it in various file formats.

Main Features

Find & Filter

Filtering allows you to search using specific criteria, such as clip or file name, as well as other criteria. You can add multiple criteria and save them as presets for quick access.

Track Selection and Clip Merging

The plugin can be set to search only selected audio tracks. You can choose to include or exclude disabled clips, as well as merge overlapping clips into a single entry. This gives you the ultimate control over which clips are included in the list.

Jump to Clips

Finding a clip in the current edit is as easy as clicking on an item in the generated list. The cursor will then jump to the clip's position.

Upload to EditingTools.io

With one click, the list can be uploaded to the Music Cue Sheet Manager on EditingTools.io, where additional metadata can easily be added.

Find metadata from production music libraries

With our Cue Sheet Manager, it's easy to retrieve track metadata from our partner production music libraries.
