How it works

  1. Upload your cues. WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3 or video, with alt mixes and stems nested under each cue.
  2. Organize by scene or reel. Playlist sections that match the edit, so the director knows where each cue goes.
  3. Share and track. One link for the director and picture editor, with every play and note in front of you.

Notes at the exact second. Not in an email thread.

Your director clicks the waveform at 1:14 and types that the hit needs to land harder, and the note stays pinned to that moment. The picture editor can comment the same way, with no account to create.

Know what they heard. Before you walk in.

Per-recipient analytics show who opened your link and which cues they played. Walk into the spotting session knowing what the director has actually heard, not what they promised to listen to.

One cue per scene. Every version inside it.

Upload the full mix, instrumental, TV mix and stems, and they nest under one entry the director can expand. Add a password or an expiry date for pre-release material, and turn downloads on only when you are ready.

Common questions from film composers

What is the best way for film composers to share cues?

Use a link that lets directors and editors stream cues in the browser instead of downloading files. On DropCue you send one branded link, organize the playlist into sections by scene or reel, and see every play. That is cleaner than a Dropbox folder or a WeTransfer link, and faster when a session is two days away.

Can my director leave timestamped feedback on my cues?

Yes. Anyone with your link can click the waveform to leave a comment at an exact point in the track. If your director says the hit at 1:14 needs to land harder, that note is pinned to 1:14, not buried in an email thread. Comments are on Pro.

How do I know if the director heard my cue before our session?

Each shared playlist shows per-recipient analytics: when each person opened the link and which tracks they played. Before you walk into a spotting session you know which cues the director has actually heard.
