The front desk you don't have to pay for.
A front desk open seven days costs about £120 a day: £840 a week, £3,640 a month. Cue does that desk's work from £39 a month, or £89 with smart locks that open the door. It takes the booking and the payment, sends the door code with smart locks, reminds the customer and asks for feedback afterwards. Studio 808 runs without a front desk.
Sample workspaceSaturday evening across five rooms, three sessions live, then three days and the week.Cue
01Bookings paid at checkout, with a short hold while the customer pays and no double bookings. Nothing to chase.
02With smart locks on Studio and Pro, every booking gets its own door code in the confirmation and the room opens for the slot, so nobody has to be on site.
03Reminders and follow-ups go out on their own. After a session, Cue asks for private feedback with a booking credit as thanks, whatever the rating, then asks for a Google review with nothing offered for it.
04Memberships that renew on their own. If a card fails, Cue pauses the member, sends a pay-now link and tells you. On Studio and Pro.
05Every SMS and email in one inbox beside the customer's bookings, with Instagram and Facebook messages on Pro. WhatsApp is coming soon.
06Email campaigns and a social composer that schedules your posts, on Pro.

A day's edit, down to the parts that need you.
A multicam episode used to take the day: two hours cutting each camera to whoever is talking, the grade and the mix, the upload, an email of timestamps to decode, then the social clips. Frame takes the cut, the client's notes and the clips off that day. The grade, the mix and the intro stay yours.
Sample episodeEach camera with a still from it. You pick where its sound comes from, then tick the wide.Frame
01The multicam cut, done. Frame cuts each camera to whoever is talking, with reaction shots, and can take out the long pauses.
02Sending for review is one button. Frame renders the episode in Resolve, checks it for black picture and silence, and uploads it to Send.
03No more emails of timestamps. Clients leave notes on the video, Frame pulls them in and applies the ones it can. Anything that needs you is listed first.
04Clips found, framed and captioned. Frame suggests the moments worth clipping (300 AI credits an episode), cuts them 9:16 framed on the faces and burns in captions you have checked.
05It works inside DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 or later on an Apple silicon Mac, so the edit is a Resolve project you can open and finish.
No more sending a download link and hoping the invoice gets paid. Your client watches the episode in the browser, leaves notes on the moment, then approves and pays on the same page. The files unlock when the payment clears, into your own Square account.

FAQ / nine answers
Before you sign up.
What problem does Cue solve?
The admin around every session: taking the booking and the payment, sending the door code with smart locks, reminding the customer, following up afterwards and answering messages across SMS and social. Customers book and pay on your page, the lock gets a code that works only for their slot, reminders and follow-ups go out on their own, and messages, bookings and contacts sit on one screen. Studio 808 took 720 bookings and ran 84 late sessions with nobody on site in Cue’s first six months.
Why is Cue better for a production studio than a general CRM?
A general CRM knows about deals and emails. It does not know that Studio 2 closes at 02:00, that the 02:00 to 04:00 tail is members only, that an extension needs a new door code and a new price, or that a podcast shoot needs the client’s brief and logos before anyone turns up. Cue is built around rooms, hours, rates, members and locks, so the booking page, the pricing, the access control and the follow-ups all read from the same facts and never disagree. You configure your rooms once and everything else follows.
What makes Cue different?
Bookings, payments through your own Square or Stripe, messages, automations and insights are one product with one login, with smart locks, memberships and Xero from Studio up and email campaigns on Pro. It is priced for a studio, and the system that takes the booking is the one that opens the door. Studio 808 runs on it every day before changes ship to anyone else.
How does the free trial work?
Every new account starts on a 14-day free trial of Pro, with everything included: Cue, Send and Frame, and Frame’s 1,000 AI credits. No card is needed and you are never charged automatically. Choose a plan before the trial ends; until you do, the workspace is read-only.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Plans are monthly with no annual contract, so cancelling stops the next month's charge.
Who owns my data?
You do. Your bookings, recordings and client files belong to your studio, not to Console.
How do payments work?
Bookings and memberships are paid through your own Square or Stripe account, so the money lands with you. Send invoices are paid through Square. Console bills your subscription separately, also through Square.
Do the apps work on their own?
Cue does: Starter is Cue alone. Send is included on Studio and Pro, and Frame on Pro. On the other plans each is an add-on: Send £19 a month, Frame £9.
Where is my data hosted?
Your studio’s database is in the EU (Ireland). A few providers, such as SMS delivery and AI-drafted replies, process some data in the US under UK transfer safeguards; the DPA lists every one.
