OnCue

What Is OnCue?

OnCue is trial presentation software for legal professionals who need to organize and present case materials in court. The platform features trial exhibits, synchronized deposition transcripts, videos, and other presentation materials into a single case workspace. It also includes tools for preparing deposition designations and presenting documents or video during proceedings.

The software is focused on trial presentation rather than general document management or presentation creation. This makes it most relevant to teams that need a dedicated environment for managing presentation-ready case materials during litigation.

What Is OnCue Best For?

OnCue stands out for its ProSync tool, which synchronizes deposition transcripts with video on the user’s computer. Unlike workflows that require case materials to be uploaded to a web service for processing, ProSync keeps the synchronization process local. This can be particularly relevant for litigation teams that handle sensitive deposition footage and transcripts and for those who prefer to keep those materials within their own computing environment.

How Much Does OnCue Cost?

OnCue pricing starts at 50/month/user for its Firmwide plan. It includes 100 license minimum, 2 activations/license, basic training, and support. However, this plan requires an annual commitment. The vendor also offers the following subscription plans:

• Flex: $100/month (pain monthly)
• Pro: $75/month (pain annually)
• Team: $58.33/month/user (pain annually)

Beyond the base price, users can expect the following additional costs:

• ProSync Usage: Flex users can purchase ProSync jobs or credits at on-demand/custom pricing, while Pro and Team include one job per license monthly
• Additional Licenses: Additional licenses are available at plan-dependent pricing for organizations that exceed their subscription allocation
• Travel And Deployment Expenses: On-site implementation or training may incur custom travel and deployment costs based on location and project scope

Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

How Does OnCue Work?

Once OnCue is installed and licensed, users can create a case and organize the materials they need for trial presentation in a local case workspace. Here is how it works:

• Log in with your OnCue credentials and open the application to access your licensed workspace
• Import case documents, trial exhibits, and deposition videos directly into local workspace databases
• Use ProSync to automatically synchronize video recordings with text transcripts using your computer's local processing power
• Create custom interface layouts to organize tools, evidence lists, and editing windows according to your trial workflow
• Use designation tools and clip editors to trim audio/video segments, remove pauses, and link supporting exhibits
• Configure multi-monitor setups and toggle On-Air Mode to present clear exhibits directly to jury and judge displays without revealing preview screens
• Connect your Dropbox account to manage document transfers and keep local database files backed up

Who Is OnCue For?

OnCue is mainly suitable for:

• Trial attorneys

OnCue Use Cases

Based on OnCue’s current capabilities and the workflows, these are the scenarios where the software could be a good fit.

Trial Teams Presenting Large Volumes Of Evidence

When a case involves a substantial number of exhibits, transcripts, videos, and demonstratives, keeping presentation materials organized can become a separate task. OnCue can help here because its case structure brings these different types of trial material together. It doesn’t require the presentation team to work from separate applications.

Litigation Teams Handling Deposition-Heavy Cases

OnCue is particularly relevant to deposition-based trial work, where recorded testimony needs to be prepared alongside the corresponding transcript before it is used in court. The software supports this workflow through its deposition and designation process. This makes it a consideration for teams that regularly present recorded testimony as part of a case.

Trials Requiring Quick Access To Case Materials

OnCue supports a less linear approach to trial presentation. Attorneys can locate case materials by identifiers such as document ID, name, or Bates number. This fits proceedings where the next piece of evidence depends on the questioning or arguments taking place in the courtroom.

Legal Presentation Consultants Managing Different Cases

Courtrooms with separate presentation screens can also use OnCue to manage the display setup. The software supports independent display outputs, so the presenter can work from one screen while different case materials are shown on other connected displays.

Is OnCue Right For You?

If you are looking for trial presentation software that can handle deposition video, exhibits, transcripts, and courtroom displays in a dedicated case environment, OnCue can be a good fit. It is also suited to teams that prefer keeping case data on their own computers, as the application runs locally, not on cloud.

OnCue has a SOC 2 Type II report and uses role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication for core systems, TLS for data transfers, and AES-256 encryption for data at rest. These controls make it a good option for legal teams handling sensitive case information and requiring defined access and data protection measures.
