See the relationships that shape your edit

The Problem

Every edit contains more than one kind of timing. Music has rhythm and phrases. Picture has frames and cuts. Dialogue and captions need time to be understood. Pacing creates another rhythm of its own. These systems don't always fit neatly together. When their relationships are hidden, you're left to feel your way through them. ClearCue makes them visible, so you can see what's happening before deciding what to do about it.

Our Philosophy

A good creative tool shouldn't decide what your work should be. It should help you see what you're working with. ClearCue works like a ruler for time: revealing relationships that are difficult to see by eye, without telling you what the answer should be.

That means:

• • Measurement without prescription
• • Structure without restriction
• • Clarity without automation
• • Tools that leave creative judgement with you
• • Follow the pattern. Bend it. Break it completely.

What We're Building

ClearCue is developing a new kind of creative instrument: tools for making timing and structure visible.

FrameFit is the first. Powered by the TimeVisualiser Engine, it reveals how musical time relates to frame time, then turns those relationships into practical timing guides you can use in the edit.

The technology will continue to develop, but every ClearCue tool begins with the same question:

What important relationship can't the creator currently see?

How ClearCue Started

ClearCue began with a practical editing problem.

While working on communication-led videos, founder Amir Bayley was constantly balancing different kinds of timing: captions needed enough time to be understood, picture needed its own pacing, music introduced another rhythm, and every decision ultimately had to land on actual video frames.

Each system made sense on its own. The difficulty was seeing how they related to one another.

Music already had a visible language for time: beats, bars, tempo and phrases. Video had frames and timecode, but very little for seeing the relationships between all the different rhythms shaping an edit.

ClearCue grew from a simple question:

What if those relationships could be made visible?

That question led to the TimeVisualiser Engine, FrameFit, and the broader ClearCue approach: measure the structure, make it visible, and leave the creative decision with the person making the work.
