What term refers to setting up the dubbing session (making the slugs)?

• A. Dubbing Setup
• B. Lead Dubbing
• C. Pre-Dub
• D. Final Dubbing

Answer: (C)

Pre-dub is the preparation phase before the actual re-recording begins. In this stage you set up the dubbing session and organize everything you’ll need, including creating the slug lines or placeholders that indicate where ADR lines will go and how they should align with the picture. It’s about planning, coordinating tracks, reference takes, and the overall structure of the session so the later dubbing runs smoothly. The other terms aren’t standard labels for this setup stage: dubbing setup sounds like a general equipment/configuration step, final dubbing is the last pass of the process, and lead dubbing isn’t a recognized term in this workflow.
