ADR
The Fairlight page of DaVinci Resolve has a sophisticated interface for doing ADR, or
automated dialog replacement, in a structured and straightforward manner. Simple yet powerful
cue list management, industry-standard audio beeps and visual cues, and sophisticated take
management with star ratings and layered take organization help you manage the resulting
recordings to use the best parts of each take in your program.
When open, the ADR interface consists of three panels to the left of the Timeline: a Record
panel, a List panel, and a Setup panel. The controls of these panels are described in the order
in which they’re used.
The Setup Panel
As its name implies, the Setup panel is where you configure your ADR session. It presents the
controls letting you set up which audio input you want to use and what tracks to listen and
record to, as well as preferences governing what the actors will see on the display you output
video to, to help them keep their performance in sync.
The Setup panel of the ADR interface
The List Panel
This is where you create a list of cues you need to re-record, either from within the Fairlight
page, or imported from a .csv file that someone provides you. It presents controls for adding,
editing, importing, and exporting cues that you want to record.
