What it does
Viper is "a simple plugin for overlaying visual cues onto your video to cue your actor or Foley artist." It is aimed at ADR and Foley recordists and composers working to picture who still cue performers with beeps or older streamer software.
- MIDI-triggered wipes: visual streamers are fired by MIDI notes in your DAW timeline.
- Template-ready: it lives in your session template, ready when a session starts.
- Customizable: options such as wipe color can be set and automated, with a preview inside the DAW.
- Smooth playback: recent versions sync the wipes to the computer's display refresh rate.
Version 1.6.2 was released in April 2026. A free trial is available.

When to use it
Viper does a job nothing else in the site's utility section does: where tools like Youlean Loudness Meter 2, Metric AB or Insight 2 help you judge the mix, Viper helps you run a recording session to picture. Pick it if you record ADR, Foley or scoring sessions and want visual cues driven from your DAW instead of beeps or separate streamer software.
- Best for: ADR, voice-over and Foley sessions, and cueing performers to picture.
- Genres: film, TV and game post-production.
- Look elsewhere if: you need audio processing; this is a cueing tool only.
- Standout: MIDI-triggered streamers that live inside the DAW session.
