Spotsheet. Spot it. Find it. Get it into Pro Tools.

The loop

A sound editor's loop, end to end.

Three moves. The third. Getting the take into Pro Tools. Is the one no spreadsheet makes, and the one Spotsheet is built around.

01. SPOT

Spot the cut

Drop timecoded notes and cues against picture, organized by category. Foley, FX, dialogue, music. Type them in, or pull director and client notes off any web page with the browser tool.

02. FIND

Find the sound

Pull the take from your own libraries and the tools you already work in. Spotsheet holds the cue and its exact frame, so the sound always lands in the right place.

→

03. INTO PRO TOOLS

Get it into Pro Tools

The money move. Each cue lands in your open session at the exact frame, live.

Live-spot

Place the current cue in-session with the SSPT Cockpit.

Pro Tools. Live

Spot in Spotsheet.
Land it in Pro Tools.

This is the part a spreadsheet can't reach. The SSPT cockpit places your cues into your open Pro Tools session, live. Each one lands at the exact frame as a memory-location marker you can resolve in-session and restore anytime.

Live-spot the cue with the cockpit

SSPT Cockpit. Pro Tools companion

The SSPT Cockpit: large timecode and cue readout, the focused cue with its thread, a cue queue, the matched SFX for the cue with an audition waveform, and PT Connected plus Spotsheet Live status with Sync and Restore

↔ Scroll to see the full cockpit

Cockpit The companion that lives next to Pro Tools and tracks your open session. It places the current cue at its timecode. marker-select a single cue, embed its matched SFX, or link-to-push the whole queue. The cue readout, the SFX matches, and Sync / Restore are all one keystroke away.

SSPT-cue · menu bar

Menu-bar helper SSPT-cue sits in your menu bar and keeps the current marker in sync as you move through the session. Auto live markers follows the playhead; one click runs Sync now; and Restore my original markers puts your session back exactly as it was.

Capture from anywhere

The notes don't start in Spotsheet. Pull them in anyway.

A director's spotting notes arrive in an email. The client's pass is a Google Doc. The delivery list lives in a portal. Ingest to Spotsheet is a browser tool that meets them where they live. Select the text on any web page and pull it straight into a project as cues.

Ingest to Spotsheet. Capturing a director's notes from webmail

One click Select the notes, open the popup, pick the project. Ingest turns the selection into timecoded, categorized cues in seconds.

Any web page

Webmail, Google Docs, a delivery portal. If you can select it, you can ingest it. No copy-paste shuffle, no re-keying timecodes by hand.

Instant, local parsing

A local rule-parser reads the selection and guesses timecode and category for each cue. It runs in your browser. no server AI, nothing leaves the page until you ingest.

Straight into the loop

Ingested cues land in your project ready to spot, match, and push to Pro Tools. Capture-from-anywhere → Spotsheet → Pro Tools.

Members & permissions

Per-project, per-tab access

Grant exactly what a person needs. read, write, or edit, per tab. Notes-only, Cue Room, Review, History; the right people see the right rooms.

History log

Who did what, and when

A per-project action log with full change attribution. Every create, edit, and resolve, newest first, attributed by name and undoable row by row.

Why we built it

Sound supervisors run entire feature films from spreadsheets. Notes in one tab, assignments in another, stems on Dropbox, review feedback over email. It works until it doesn't. And it never reaches the session.

No timecode

Notes without context

Spreadsheet cells don't know what frame they're attached to. Notes get vague descriptions instead of precise timecodes. Editors waste time hunting.

No versions

Stem chaos

Which bounce is current? v3_final or v3_final_FINAL? Stems live on Dropbox with no audit trail. Wrong versions reach the mix stage.

No ownership

Assignments get lost

Who owns this note? Is it done? Sheets can't track assignment, status, or progress per editor. Supervisors chase people instead of managing sound.

No bridge

Nothing reaches the DAW

However tidy the sheet, every cue still gets re-keyed into Pro Tools by hand. The note and the session never actually meet.

Capabilities

Everything that holds the loop together.

Purpose-built for post-sound. The surfaces that take a cue from spotting note to mix-ready stem, all under the same roof.

Timecoded notes

Every note is pinned to a frame. Drop notes against picture, see them in context, jump to any timecode instantly. No more "around the 12-minute mark."

Cue Room

The spotting-session surface. Multi-device, real-time sync. The supervisor leads, the team follows, everyone on the same frame at the same moment.

Review Room

Clients review against picture. Directors, producers, and supervisors give feedback in context, and comments sync back to the notes automatically.

Stem versioning

Every bounce tracked. Upload stems, compare versions, lock finals. Full history from first edit to mix-ready. Never lose a version again.

Video sync

Picture-version management with timecode offsets, HQ and LQ proxies, and a pop-out video window that stays locked to your notes in real time.

Optional route

No Pro Tools in front of you?

The live routes assume an open session. When there isn't one, there's a quieter path that still feeds the editor.

Prep a Virtual Session the editor picks up

For a supervisor or assistant working ahead of the editor: audition the library and pool candidate takes per cue. Three to five options, narrowed and tagged. When the editor opens the session, every cue already has its shortlist waiting. A head start, not the main flow.

Secondary · no PT required

Multi-device

Desktop leads. Companions follow.

Run the full workspace on desktop. Use your phone as a capture device or audit companion. Real-time sync keeps everyone on the same frame.

Built for

Sound editors

Get clear assignments with timecodes. Pull from curated libraries, find the take, drag or live-spot it into Pro Tools, and bounce stems with version tracking.
