Spotting Session Cue Sheet Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

After a spotting session, composers need a precise list of every cue, but notes from a long session are messy and some decisions stay vague. This agent takes the session recording or notes and the current cut. It drafts a cue list with each cue's number, start and end timecode, length, scene, purpose, mood words the director used and any temp music references. Then it checks each cue against the picture: starts and ends land on sensible points, cues do not overlap without intent, and every scene discussed has a decision. Unclear items become questions for the director. It schedules writing based on cue length and deadlines. The composer approves the cue list before writing. Edge case: a scene where the director said maybe no music is marked as an open decision.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It ties each cue to the director's words and the picture, and asks when either is unclear.

  • 'Maybe' cues are open decisions
  • Overlapping cues need a stated reason
  • Writing time is planned per minute of music

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Cue numbering
  • Writing minutes per day
  • Mood vocabulary
  • Sheet format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Cue list
  • Questions sent to the director

Hard limits

  • Never sends questions without approval
  • Never shares temp music externally

It stops when

  • Done: cue list approved
  • Stop: cut not locked enough to spot

An example run

What happensA 90-minute spotting session on January 20 produced 38 cues. The check failed on three items: two scenes had no clear decision and one cue overlapped the next by 6 seconds. The agent drafted three questions. The director confirmed one cue, dropped another, and asked for the overlap as a crossfade. The composer approved the updated list.
