Script Viewer, Notes & Cues in CueCall
The script uploaded and read in-app, with notes and cues pinned to specific pages, page overlays, versions, and page insert/replace.
Transcript
This video shows how CueCall's Script Viewer helps manage your production script, notes, and cues. First, you upload your script as a PDF, and it opens directly in the viewer.
Once uploaded, you can read through your script page by page, just as you would at the table.
Use the search function to quickly find any word or phrase, or jump directly to a specific page number. This helps you quickly navigate large scripts.
With your script in the viewer, you can add notes directly to specific pages using the side panel. Notes are automatically tied to the page you are viewing.
Switch to the Cues tab to add lighting, sound, or other technical cues right on the relevant script page. Each cue is linked to its scene and trigger.
CueCall automatically manages script versions, ensuring all your notes and cues remain safely tied to the specific script they were created for.
