dialogue-editing-adr

dialogue-editing-adr is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (5,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for preparing and editing spoken audio in videos, films, advertisements, podcasts, and similar media. ADR, or automated dialogue replacement, means recording replacement speech to match existing footage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean production dialogue, repair performance or pronunciation problems, smooth room tone, combine takes, synchronize speech, prepare ADR cues, direct dubbing, and reduce harsh sibilant sounds.
Why use it?
It helps keep speech understandable, consistent, correctly pronounced, and aligned with the intended performance and story. It also clarifies what later editors, captioners, mixers, and localization teams need.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dialogue-editing-adr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Dialogue editing and ADR direction

Use this skill when spoken audio must carry story, brand, instruction, character, or accessibility. Treat dialogue as a performance and an editorial contract, not just a waveform. The job is to preserve intelligibility, intent, continuity, and rights while leaving the mixer, captioner, localization team, or downstream video agent with unambiguous material.

Evidence posture

Documented facts below come from professional standards, official platform guidance, official tool documentation, or rights organizations. Volatile platform/tool/legal facts were checked on 2026-07-10. Empirical observations are limited to listening/QC behaviors an agent should perform on the actual project; no universal audio-processing result is assumed without auditioning. Production heuristics are practical defaults to test against picture and delivery specs, not laws of audio.

First pass: decide what kind of dialogue problem this is

Classify each line or section before touching it:

  • production-edit: usable source audio needs cleanup, smoothing, fill, conform, or comping.
  • performance-fix: the words are technically usable but the read, emotion, pronunciation, emphasis, or timing fails the scene.
  • ADR-replace: production sound is not intelligible, has unrecoverable noise/clipping, contains changed script, needs a legal/brand correction, or must match a new cut.
  • localization-dub: new language or regional version must preserve meaning, performance, timing, and picture sync.
  • VO-style-dub: original voice remains partly perceptible or intentionally dipped under a localized voice-over.
  • synthetic-rerender: a licensed synthetic voice or generic TTS voice must be regenerated, edited, or directed.
  • caption/transcript-handoff: text assets must represent the final heard audio accurately and accessibly.

Do not choose ADR or synthetic replacement merely because repair is inconvenient. First determine whether the original performance can be made intelligible without audible artifacts, whether the actor/voice rights permit replacement, and whether the replacement will match picture and continuity.
