ClearCue

Editing feels easier when timing is visible.

A precision timing system for shaping rhythm, pacing, and cinematic flow.

What’s a ClearCue™?

ClearCue creates a visible timing architecture directly inside the timeline. Choose a pattern, set the tempo and time signature, then generate. Drag it into your edit and cut directly against visible timing instead of guessing pacing or relying on music. ClearCue externalises timing structure so pacing can be shaped visually rather than mentally reconstructed during the edit process.

ClearCue turns timing structures into a visible editing reference so pacing, rhythm, and movement can be designed directly inside the timeline.

Shape Timing Visually

Shape edits against visible timing architecture rather than mentally tracking pacing across the sequence.

ClearCues Are MP4’s

Import ClearCues directly into your editor like any normal media clip. No plugins. No setup. No compatibility headaches.

Design Timing Directly

See timing directly in the timeline instead of hunting waveforms or guessing where cuts should land.

Layer Timing Structures

Stack the Cues and combine different timing guides to experiment with pacing, structure, and movement inside the same edit.

Maintain Temporal Flow

Keep momentum while editing. ClearCue helps reduce mental load by giving you a consistent visual timing reference throughout the sequence.

Revise Edits Easily

When timing is already structured, changing music or reshaping edits becomes faster and less destructive.

A Structured Workflow

Stack timing guides directly in your timeline
Test pacing instantly
Keep what works. Remove what doesn’t

No guessing. No overthinking.

ClearCues are MP4’s; they can be cut, saved, copied, and stacked. No AI anywhere!

FAQ

You receive access to the ClearCue timing engine, a browser-based tool that generates frame-accurate timing guides for editing. You can create your own timing patterns, tempos, structures, and variations, then export them as video timing guides for use directly inside your editor.
A ClearCue is a timing guide you drop directly into your timeline. It contains visible timing markers and an optional audio click so you can cut against structure instead of guessing pacing manually.
Choose a timing pattern, set tempo and time signature, then generate your timing guide. Import the exported file into your timeline like normal media and edit directly against the markers.
ClearCue works best in DaVinci Resolve but can be used in any editor that supports standard video files, including:
- Premiere Pro
- Final Cut Pro
- CapCut
- Vegas
- Avid
- Resolve
No. ClearCues are standard MP4 media files.
There is:
- no plugin installation
- no compatibility setup
- no rendering extension
- no background process
You simply drag them into your timeline.
No.
ClearCue is designed to help structure pacing independently from music. You can:
- edit silently
- design pacing first
- add music later
- swap music without rebuilding the edit
Yes. Many editors use ClearCue alongside music to:
- tighten pacing
- align cuts more consistently
- reduce waveform hunting
- revise edits faster
Beat detection attempts to infer structure from audio transients.
ClearCue generates structure directly.
This gives you:
- stable timing
- consistent pacing
- editable timing systems
- frame-accurate visual references
without relying on waveform interpretation.
Yes.
The engine allows you to design custom timing structures using:
- tempo
- density
- variation
- pattern modes
- directional timing systems
You can generate both simple and experimental pacing structures.
Yes.
Many editors stack multiple timing guides to:
- test pacing options
- compare structures
- layer movement systems
- build more complex edits

Yes.
Because ClearCues are media files, they can be:
- cut
- trimmed
- duplicated
- stacked
- saved
- reused
like any other clip in your timeline.
The engine supports common editing frame rates including:
- 24
- 25
- 30
- 48
- 50
- 60
- 120
Additional frame rate support may expand over time.
Yes.
Engine updates are included with purchase.
No.
The ClearCue Engine is a one-time purchase.
No.
ClearCue is a deterministic timing system designed for direct creator control. Nothing is automated, generated, or edited using AI.
Most editors hold pacing mentally while editing.
ClearCue externalises timing into a visible structure directly inside the timeline. This reduces cognitive load and makes pacing easier to manage over long edits.
ClearCue is designed for:
- video editors
- filmmakers
- music editors
- trailer editors
- short-form creators
- motion designers
- hybrid audio/video creators
especially those who work rhythmically or care deeply about pacing.
Video files are:
- portable
- editable
- cross-platform
- timeline-native
This avoids plugin compatibility problems and allows ClearCue to work across multiple editing systems.
ClearCues are 15s
As the Cues are video files, you can copy and paste them easily to create any duration you want.
Its designed to be like Lego.
Yes.
You can use ClearCue in commercial editing work and client projects.
