Exporting Feedback

Once a review cycle is complete, you may need to move your feedback into external tools like DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), NLEs (Non-Linear Editors), or project management systems. Cuevue supports a wide range of professional export formats to bridge this gap.

Click the Export button in the Review Player header to open the export menu. Exports are organized into collapsible sections:

Media

Download Audio / Download Video — Download the original media file for the current version.

Transcript

Available when the version has a transcript:

SubRip (.srt) — Standard subtitle format for video editors and media players.
WebVTT (.vtt) — Web-native caption format for HTML5 video.
Plain Text (.txt) — Simple timestamped transcript for reference.

Comments

Exports comments, replies, and review markers in various formats:

Basic exports:

Formatted Report (.txt) — Human-readable comment summary with timestamps and context.
SoundFlow Markers (JSON) — Marker schema for importing into Pro Tools via SoundFlow. Includes session timecode and frame rate settings.
Comments (JSON) — Developer-friendly payload for integrations or custom scripts.
Comments (CSV) — Structured rows for Excel or Google Sheets with timestamps, authors, and status fields.

Review Export (unified comments + markers):

Review Export (TSV / CSV / JSON) — Comprehensive export combining comments, replies, and review markers into a single file. Includes timecodes, thread relationships, marker metadata, and status information.
Pro Tools Review Export (TSV / CSV / JSON) — Lane-based layout optimized for Pro Tools workflows. Organizes items into lanes: Comments (lane 1), Replies (lane 2), Point Markers (lane 3), Range Markers (lane 4), and Misc (lane 5). Each row includes timecode, marker name (e.g., C001, C001-R1), and event type.

NLE Markers

Available when comments or markers have timestamps. Exports timeline markers for professional editing software:

Premiere Pro (.csv) — Tab-separated marker format with In/Out timecodes for Adobe Premiere Pro.
DaVinci Resolve (.edl) — Edit Decision List format compatible with DaVinci Resolve.
Final Cut Pro (.fcpxml) — Final Cut Pro XML format with chapter markers.

Integrations

Export directly to connected services:

Export to Multiple — Push to multiple destinations simultaneously (Megaphone, YouTube, Dropbox, Google Drive) from a single dialog.
Share via Email — Send the version to collaborators via email.
YouTube — Upload directly to your connected YouTube channel (Studio plan).
Megaphone — Publish to Megaphone for podcast distribution with ad markers (Studio plan).
Dropbox — Export media to your connected Dropbox account (Pro plan).
Google Drive — Export media to your connected Google Drive (Pro plan).
Descript — Export audio/video to Descript for editing (Studio plan).

Export Options

Review Export and Pro Tools Review Export support several toggles to customize what is included:

Include Resolved: Include comments that have been marked as resolved (off by default).
Include Replies: Include threaded replies beneath their parent comments (on by default).
Include Markers: Include review markers alongside comments (on by default).
Include Untimed: Include comments that don’t have a timestamp (on by default).
Frame Rate (fps): Set the frame rate for timecode formatting in exports (default varies by format).

What Information is Exported?

Every export includes metadata for each comment and marker:

Timestamp: The exact start time (and end time for range comments and section markers).
Commenter: The display name of the person who provided the feedback.
Comment Content: The full text of the feedback, including replies when enabled.
Status: Whether the comment is “Open” or “Resolved.”
Marker Data: Review markers include type (point/section), color, and label.
Thread Context: Reply exports include thread path and parent reference for maintaining conversation structure.
Project Context: The Space, Project, and Version names are included in the header of exported files.

Workflow Example: Audio Polish

Export as Text: The lead editor exports all “Needs Changes” comments.
Reference in DAW: They open the text file alongside their DAW (like Ableton or Pro Tools).
Execute Fixes: Using the timestamps, they jump to each point, address the note, and then mark the comment as Resolved back in Cuevue once the new version is uploaded.

Workflow Example: Pro Tools Session

Export for Pro Tools: Use Pro Tools Review Export (TSV) to get a lane-based spreadsheet.
Import via SoundFlow: Use SoundFlow to import markers as Memory Locations in your Pro Tools session.
Navigate by Lane: Comments, replies, and markers are separated into lanes so you can focus on one type at a time.

Workflow Example: Video Post-Production

Export NLE Markers: Choose Premiere Pro (.csv), DaVinci Resolve (.edl), or Final Cut Pro (.fcpxml) depending on your NLE.
Import Markers: Import the file into your NLE timeline as markers.
Address Feedback: Navigate between markers to find and fix each noted issue.

[!NOTE] Use the export toggles to include resolved comments or threaded replies depending on how much context you need downstream.
