ADR
Also known as automated dialogue replacement, additional dialogue recording, looping.
Automated dialogue replacement: re-recording dialogue in sync with picture after principal photography.
In practice
Editors and dialogue teams identify cues, performers re-record against picture, and the new takes are edited and mixed to match performance, perspective, room, and production sound. “Automated” is historical terminology; the performance is not automatic.
