Version 4.0.2
Actors Mobile ADR™ prepares ADR cues against picture, records takes on the device, and hands finished WAV files to the delivery route your production already uses. Nothing is stored on a Todd-AO server.
iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later. Purchase options are shown in the App Store.
Workflow
Three steps, in the order the work actually happens.
Import picture as MOV, MP4, M4V, a .toddao package, or an AMA batch ZIP. Build cues by hand, import them from an XLSX, CSV, or TSV cue sheet, or turn on Auto-Cue New Videos in Settings > Editor — off by default — to have AMA detect dialogue and create cues as each new video is imported.
Move through the work with Previous Cue and Next Cue, preview a cue against picture, then record. A timed cue stops itself. Press and hold Record for a Wild take on the current cue — audio only, not synchronized to picture.
Play a take back against picture and mark it Raw, Select, or Alternate. Send Video Takes returns that video's verified WAV takes with a CSV index through the iOS share sheet.
For teams
One app, two jobs. Editor Mode is a control in the player header, not a separate application.
Prepare picture and cues, clear the needs ADR Text and fix ADR timing flags, then create an encrypted AMA package for the performer. A video sent with no cues at all is delivered as a Whole Video: the performer records one full-length pass from Video Start instead of working to cue boundaries.
Packages use AES-256-GCM. Send the unlock code to the performer by a different route from the package — never in the same message — because AMA does not store the code for you.
Open the package with the code you were sent, work through the cues, record, and audition each take against picture before it goes out.
Takes you have already recorded remain exportable, and marking a take never changes what is sent.
Scope
Stated plainly, because productions need to know before the material moves.
There is no AMA login and no Todd-AO content library. Picture, cues, takes, and packages stay in the app's sandbox until you export or share them.
Todd-AO cannot decrypt a package and cannot recover a lost unlock code. If the code is lost, a new package has to be prepared.
AMA 4.0.2 does not receive returned takes. Sending stops at the iOS share sheet: you choose the destination, and delivery and DAW ingest follow your production's approved process.
