generate music cue sheet from regions?
Hi,
I need to generate a music cue sheet for 5 episodes of a program I mixed for international sales requirements. In the past I've just gone through the session listing the music clips and typed up manually. Is there a way of generating data from highlighted regions that'll give you active region names and TC IN/OUT points? Who usually generates these? I would have thought an EDL could do the same thing if the editor keeps all music on the same tracks. Cheers, Phil J. |

Remove the non music tracks, export session as text. It will create an EDL type report.

Delete all tracks except your music tracks, then...
File > Export > Session info at Text In the Dialog box you have a few choices. I select: Include File List Include Region List Include Track EDLs Combine Crossfaded Regions Time Format: Timecode File Format: Most of the people I work with like it when I export a MS Excel file. You can also export as Text only. Once it's exported, open it in Excel and tidy it up! Muuuuch easier than manually entering everything. |

Hi,
I use the above format for File export as txt ('Text Edit' txt on a mac) and then use this software called "Agent Orange" which makes brilliant cue sheets in my opinion. You can get it from here, its mac only. http://www.soundepartment.com/agent_orange/ If you do use it - just make sure you check the 'Print Frames' checkbox otherwise the timecode that appears on the cue sheet is only minutes and seconds - which can be difficult to comprehend if you have a project that runs over the hour mark.

Re: generate music cue sheet from regions?
Thanks all for that wonderful info. I admit I hadn't even really gone looking for a solution... that'll work fine since I think the copyright isn't for duration, only artist/title.
Cheers, Phil |

Therefor it´s important that the cue-list reflect the audible music in the end product. I thought this was the same all over the world... thanks, frank. |

Re: generate music cue sheet from regions?
Cue sheets are only supposed to reflect the actual length of audible music. So I don't do such a "dumb" export of session info. First you need to trim regions (if you've done fade outs), I also duplicate edited pieces (to make the cue sheet more legible), remove extra tracks (cause there's no sense in having 2 pieces of music simultaneously) - then export as Session Info text. It all takes about 15 minutes per half hour episode.

Well.. yes, that's correct. My personal preference is not to have a music region in my session unless it's audible in some way. I usually trim/fade up/down instead of faders down. I guess that works for me, but not everyone works the way I do ..carry on. |
