Spotsheet

Spotting and cue management for post-production sound.

Cues, notes and timecode are the spine of the session. Spotsheet runs in the browser and as desktop apps, sitting alongside Pro Tools so the workstation and the sheet stay on the same frame.

Timecode

Master timecode shared between the workstation and the browser, with linked picture.

Collaboration

Projects, members, assignments, per-cue notes — resolved or unresolved at a glance.

SFX

Search a real library, log picks and suggestions against a cue, stay aware of stems.

Create account

Pick a name for the session log — it appears on every cue and note you author.

The browser sheet

Every cue, its timecode, its scene, who has it and where it stands. Selection is shared — the row you pick is the frame everyone else is looking at.

Notes, people, and what's still open

Cues are assigned to members and discussed in place. A note thread belongs to a cue, not a mailbox, and it closes when the work is done.

Door slam too thin

From the spot session — keep it diegetic, no designed sweetener. Wants more low-mid body on the close.

Tried the metal lib take, too clangy. Wood/iron blend is the move — spotting a candidate now.

Fits the room you already work in

Nothing to reroute. The desktop app talks to Pro Tools, the browser follows the same timecode, and both write to the same sheet.

Browser

The full sheet, linked picture, notes and SFX search — open on any machine in the building.

Desktop app

macOS and Windows. Holds the link to the workstation and keeps master timecode authoritative.

Pro Tools

Session and clip awareness, marker and stem awareness, cues that land on the frame you're parked on.

Cue-first structure

Every note hangs off a cue with a timecode. No loose spreadsheets, no version drift between departments.

Shared selection

Pick a cue and the sheet, the picture and the workstation agree on where you are.

SFX picks

Search the library, attach candidates and suggestions to the cue, and keep what was chosen on the record.

Status at a glance

Open, flagged, resolved — per cue, per member, per reel, without asking anyone.

Start a project and spot your first reel.

Create an account, name a project, and invite the editors working the reel. The desktop app is a download away when you want the Pro Tools link.
