Which term describes placing audio clips in the timeline in sync with video using cue sheets?

• A. Cueing
• B. Deliverables
• C. DCP
• D. Dead Cat

Answer: (A)

Cueing is the process of placing audio clips in the timeline so they hit the video at the right moments, using a cue sheet as the timing guide. A cue sheet lists each audio cue with its exact time code or frame position and a brief description, so the audio editor can position sounds, music, and dialogue precisely where they belong in the cut. This makes the audio sketch align with the picture during playback, ensuring actions on screen are matched by corresponding sounds. The other terms don’t fit this task: deliverables are final assets sent to clients, a DCP is the digital cinema package for projection, and a Dead Cat is a windscreen used on microphones.
