EdiChart saved me countless hours on Avatar. It's a great product.

EdiChart is the best program for cue sheets yet! It has all of the features that I need and my Foley cue sheets look very tidy, which is appreciated by the Foley crew. Crystal Skull ended up being a very dense Foley track and I really appreciated how customizable EdiChart can be. I think I might have saved a tree or two because of EdiChart's formatting and time/cue ratio settings. I also appreciate the addition of the older "legacy" formatting tags which made for a seamless transition from other cue sheet programs I've used in the past. The interface is simple and easy to use and the ability to store user presets is crucial when working with a partner or assistant. Overall, a great software application. Thanks!

Hairspray

We were 72 channels out to the dub stage and way more inside Pro Tools, to do cue sheets by hand would have been insane. EdiChart's great because it’s not a big deal to print something out, look at it, and then do it again if it's not right.

The tags are a great feature. I'm using [NM] all the time. Doing cuesheets used to be a really boring, and time-consuming part of the process. Now it's a snap - and they look great. My hat's off to you Mark.

The Simpsons Movie

I've become quite accustomed to making my own cue sheets as most automated programs don't meet my needs. After finding EdiChart I've been able to dedicate more time to working while still being able to turn out accurate and well organized cue sheets. With picture constantly changing over the course of a final mix I can give my mixer up to date timings and possible new layouts of cues without a second thought (or tonnes of White Out).

Ryan Rubin - Music Editor, The Simpsons Movie.

Da Vinci Code

EdiChart turns out perfect, elegant cue sheets of any density with an interface that is refreshingly simple, modern and stable. Using Export Session As Text files makes it future-proof and has the added benefit of not needing Pro Tools installed on the same machine. I love EdiChart!

Dan Pinder - Music Editor, Da Vinci Code.
