Cuevue vs Frame.io — for audio

Frame.io is built for picture. Cuevue is built for sound.

If your review is a mix, a podcast episode, or a music master, your feedback lives in transcripts and DAW markers — not picture frames. Cuevue is the review platform that speaks audio, with video as an equal citizen.

What audio review actually needs.

The things a sound workflow lives or dies on — and where a picture-first tool leaves you re-typing notes by hand.

Transcription, not just a waveform

Every upload is auto-transcribed with speaker labels. Reviewers comment on the words, not a featureless waveform — and you export the transcript as SRT, VTT, or plain text.

Notes that land in your DAW

A client's “2:30, tighten this” becomes a named marker in Pro Tools (.ptx) or a MIDI marker for Logic, Cubase, and Reaper. No re-typing timecodes into your session by hand.

An audio-first review player

Time-synced comments on the waveform and the transcript — built for a mix review, not a picture cut with audio bolted on.

Internal notes stay internal — on every plan

Each comment has a team-only / client-visible toggle in the composer. Reviewers only ever see public comments. It's not locked behind a per-seat upgrade.
