EdiPrompt

EdiPrompt is an application that allows ADR and foley recordists to cue their actor or artist in a way that they are most comfortable with. EdiPrompt does this by providing a range of highly customisable visual and audio cues. Furthermore, to allow the recordist to focus on the performance they are recording as much as possible, EdiPrompt automates the recording process when using Pro Tools by renaming the record track(s) and locating to each cue point using its Cue List window.

The quickest way to load cues into the EdiPrompt Cue List window is to create or import third-party cues with our Emmy® award-winning application EdiCue.

Our application EdiLoad can also be used in conjunction with EdiPrompt to generate files that trigger visual cues at picture and scene change points for foley walkers.

The following video shows the various cueing options available with EdiPrompt.

Strike Back - Korda Studios...

Moving back to Hungary after 20 years of audio post-production work in Hollywood, the good news was that I began getting calls for ADR sessions in Budapest. The bad news was that the "cue lists" for these sessions consisted of nothing more than the lines to be recorded highlighted on the original scripts with ballpark timecode references. I gradually persuaded my new clients to allocate more time and money to prep the cue lists so the ADR sessions could be run more efficiently. But even though better- prepped scripts started coming in, the reference media files continued to arrive at the last...

Adrenaline Studios - Las Vegas...

EdiCue and EdiPrompt have streamlined the workflow between our studio and Hollywood studios. Importing all cues by simply dragging and dropping a file has been a HUGE time saver. Having the cues on the screen with the visual wipe allows the actors to solely focus on their performance. We couldn't imagine doing ADR without it! Matt Smith, Adrenaline Studios - Las Vegas

Mullewapp - Eine schöne Schweinerei...

From the first time I used EdiPrompt, its wide array of functions and possibilities blew me away. Everything is connected and very easy to handle – no additional hardware, no complicated routing. I love the flexibility and the fact that it lets me actually focus on my work. Furthermore, EdiPrompt is a great timesaver. It enables more room for creativity for both the actor and engineer. While working on the animation movie Mullewapp - Eine schöne Schweinerei, EdiPrompt was a mighty big help to me. From recording the initial scratch voices towards the final character recordings, it was...

Kantana Sound Studios - Thailand...

EdiPrompt is a real time saver. No more hassle with renaming cues and other related household tasks during the ADR sessions. I have been using EdiPrompt in numerous local and ISDN-based ADR sessions like The Hangover Part II, The Impossible and The Grandmaster. With its support of different fonts, EdiPrompt has no problem to stream a line in non-Roman alphabet. I would say it is a must-have item in the ADR stages toolkit.

Outloud Audio

We rely on EdiPrompt on all of our ADR stages in New York and Los Angeles every day. We love the flexibility, programability, and ease of use that EdiPrompt provides for visually cueing prompts for principal and group ADR. It is a key part of our toolkit and our success. EdiPrompt is highly reliable and truly helps our engineers and actors achieve their best performances. Mark Kondracki - Principal Outloud Audio.

Technicolor Toronto

EdiPrompt has been a game-changer in our ADR & Foley rooms. This blows away any streamer/wipe hardware box we’ve ever used. Our foley artists are freelance and work in many studios around town. They have stated on many occasions that this work-flow is far superior to anything else they have worked with and are even demanding this work-flow gets implemented into other local studios due to its ease of use, speed and efficiency! In ADR, the ability to allow our talent to choose their optimal cueing system (audio beeps or wipes, colour selection, etc) make this a vastly superior system....

The Following - Soundtrack NY...

EdiPrompt has always been a very useful tool on my ADR stage. It recently proved itself invaluable while shooting remote ADR for the first season of Fox Broadcasting's “The Following”. The producers desired to shoot most of the ADR on set and EdiPrompt made it possible for me to easily provide multiple streamers and dialog on screen, just like I would on my stage. Mark has been extremely responsive to incorporating suggestions to EdiPrompt and the support from Sounds In Sync has been nothing short of phenomenal. Bill Higley – adrman, Inc. Soundtrack NY, Ltd.

Overlay Text and Cues

EdiPrompt overlays cues on top of a movie window (see Requirements below). This includes the text of an actors line as well as a visual cue using either a streamer, pair of prompts or a counter. In addition, a progress bar can be displayed to show the duration of the cue, as well as the record status of Pro Tools and the cue or take number.

EdiPrompt can also mask the movie window in two different ways. The first provides the option to mask the whole movie window before or after a cue, while the other can mask the top or bottom of the movie window continuously to hide distracting editorial timecode numbers or text.

Triggering Options

The cues generated by EdiPrompt can be triggered by:

MIDI files generated by EdiCue, EdiPrompt or EdiLoad. These are loaded into Pro Tools and shown on MIDI tracks. These MIDI commands are then sent to EdiPrompt when Pro Tools plays and records
Auto cues. These are automatically generated within EdiPrompt when Pro Tools plays or records. These are ideal for recording foley or voiceover to picture
External MIDI notes. Third party devices can trigger cues in EdiPrompt by sending it pre-defined MIDI notes. GPI’s can be converted to MIDI notes with devices like a JW Electronics Parallel to MIDI converter

Automate Recordings

The EdiPrompt Cue List window can help automate the recording process when using Pro Tools by:

Renaming one or more record tracks
Locating to each cue in the list with a pre-record length if required
Speaking the take number during pre-roll for ident purposes

Visual cues can only be overlaid on screens that are connected to a display port that shows up on the ‘Displays’ pane of the macOS System Preferences. Generally these are built-in Mac or graphics card display ports. The Pro Tools ‘movie’ window is positioned on this display so EdiPrompt can overlay its cues on top.
