Claude drafts scene-by-scene sound cues from your checked script, then tidies the sheet. You check every trigger and decide.
Have ready: script copy
Draft the cue table
Check triggers, save
Use: You
The script copied into a working copy labelled Scene 1, Scene 2 and so on.
Check nothing was changed or added to the script. Keep the original unchanged and work only in the copy.
Use: Claude
Upload the checked script into a Claude project. Ask for a cue table per scene: number, sound in words, exact trigger, purpose.
What to paste into the tool
Task: a cue draft for each scene. The uploaded document is the checked script. Use only the script text. Return a table with these columns: scene, cue number, intended sound (described in words only), trigger (the exact line or stage direction from the script, copied word for word, or 'not confirmed - director to decide'), purpose (one short sentence), notes. Give no more than three cues per scene, and write 'no cue suggested' for a scene with none. Describe sounds in words only. Do not name a recording, website or file, and do not say any recording exists; write 'availability not confirmed' in notes. Do not add lines or events that are not in the script. Task: a clean cue sheet and a sound list. Put this cue table into scene order with cue numbers 1, 2, 3 and so on. Keep each cue's words exactly as written. Then list each intended sound once in plain words with 'availability not confirmed' beside it. Do not add, remove or reword cues. Do not name any recording. Return the cue sheet first, then the sound list. Table: [paste the corrected cue table].
Use: You
Read each cue next to its scene, fix or delete bad cues, ask for the clean numbered sheet in the same project, then check it.
Check each trigger is word for word in the script. Check recordings and rights yourself later. Nothing is sent or bought.
Gemini Notebook reads your checked script, drafts cues with triggers, then flags weak triggers and missed spots. You decide.
Have ready: checked script
Draft cues, check triggers
Compare, decide
Use: You
The script as a working copy, word for word the same as the original.
Compare the copy with the original: every line and stage direction is the same.
Use: Gemini Notebook
Upload the script as a source. Ask Gemini Notebook for a cited cue table, then a check of every trigger, open choices and missed spots.
What to paste into the tool
Task: cue suggestions that cite their scene. Use only the uploaded script. Return a table with these columns: scene, cue number, intended sound (described in words only), trigger (the exact line or stage direction from the script, copied word for word, or 'not set - director to decide'), purpose (one short sentence), notes, and the scene it comes from. Use only trigger lines that appear in the script. Give no more than three cues per scene. Describe sounds in words only; do not name a recording and write 'availability not checked'. Do not add scenes, lines or events. Task: check triggers, list open choices and flag missed spots. For each cue in the table, say whether its trigger appears word for word in the uploaded script; list every cue where it does not. Then list every cue that has no trigger set, two cues close together, or a sound that could confuse the audience. Then list any line or stage direction in the script where a sound cue would help but no cue is planned. Only list. Do not decide the choices and do not add cues to the table. Return one line per item with its cue number or the scene and line. Table: [paste the cue table].
Use: You
Compare every trigger with the script word for word, delete cues that add events, and make each open choice yourself.
Nothing is sent or bought.
You mark the cues and fill the table yourself. ChatGPT only writes plain sound descriptions. You check everything.
Mark the cue spots
Fill one row per cue
Describe each sound
Insert, check each
Check against script
Use: You
Read the script and mark each place a sound could help, with a cue number.
Mark only what the script supports; never mark a place just to fill a scene.
Use: You
Fill the table yourself: scene, cue number, a rough sound note, the trigger copied word for word, purpose, notes.
Copy each trigger word for word from the script. Write 'availability not stated' in notes.
Use: ChatGPT
Ask ChatGPT for 1 plain sentence describing each rough sound note, using only the length or loudness you gave.
What to paste into the tool
Task: one plain sentence describing each sound. For each rough sound note below, write one plain sentence describing the sound in words, using only any length or loudness I give in the notes; if none is given, write 'not stated'. Do not add cues, change the order or invent triggers. Do not name a recording or say a recording exists. Return one line per cue: cue number, then the sentence. Notes: [paste the cue numbers with each rough sound note and purpose].
Use: You
Put each description into your table.
Check each description matches what you meant and adds nothing new. Fix any that changed the purpose.
Use: You
Check the finished table against the script and save.
Check triggers are word for word and numbers run in order. Nothing is sent or bought.
