A breakthrough in scoring for professional video
editors.
We at software editorial have been busy examining this product as to whether we feel this statement is correct, and we have to say that even in previous versions it was an amazing piece of kit, but this new version has a major surprise called Mood Mapping. But before we consider this lets examine what makes this piece of software stand out from the competition.
First of all the interface is very easy to follow, it is compatible with both Windows and Apple Mac operating systems, which means everyone can benefit from this magnificent box of tricks. Secondly it contains a smartsound format called audio pallets, this technology is amazing. Whilst most of us who enjoy presenting video, find ourselves having to manage importing a piece of music, only to find that it needs to be heavily cropped because it does not match the length of the video we are editing, we have to go through the long winded process of hunting for an audio editing software that we are happy to use and will perform the feature of cropping and fading the music in question and then finally to export the edited audio back into a compatible format. Sometimes we find after going through this process we suddenly feel that the piece we have chosen does not match the video scene we are editing after all, we then begin the long journey of hunting for music that is royalty free which invariably costs us a great deal of money just to give that finishing touch we want.
And perhaps you are wondering what should I do ?
Well folks ! Look no further I am glad to recommend Sonic Fire Pro 4, because it takes the hassle out of music production for video editors. As with other versions you just got the software but with version 4 you get two audio pallet CD’s as well, just to get you started.
So what do audio pallets achieve and what advantage do they have ?
1/ They contain Hollywood style virtuoso (44K) quality music.
2/ They contain the technology to put an ending in no matter how far you stretch the audio pallet. Which means no fading and cropping no abrupt stops in video viewing.
3/ It contains Mood Mapping technology which enables you to edit the tracks and set the correct mood for the piece of video you are editing, for instance you can alter the volume levels of each musical instrument which can give out a different effect.
4/ There are no licenses needed to use the music in your productions
5/ You can automatically preview and then purchase new audio pallets over the internet without leaving the program. Without any doubt one of the most amazing technologies that a video editor and presenter should not be without, there are many other features that you can read about, and explore for yourself which will no doubt be a revelation to you, please follow the button links to find out more.
However I did mention the brand new feature of Mood Mapping what else does this feature accomplish ?
a) Quickly select from a list of preset moods for each track, including "duck for dialog", "drums & bass", "acoustic", "atmospheric", "heavy" and more.
B) Set the Mood Map track to match the changes in your video then simply select the ideal mood for each section. The mix and feel of the music will dynamically adapt to each mood along the timeline.
C) Easily fine-tune individual instrument levels for each mood. Duck the horn section down or push up the strings to add suspense with a simple slider control.
D) SmartSound Multitrack Interface Import voice-over tracks or create layers of music and sound effects in a multitrack interface for complete control over the audio elements of your project.
In addition use the "Preview with Timeline" feature to play your video when sampling music tracks to quickly find the best fit. Drag and drop music right from the Maestro onto the timeline, move your imported video to start at any position on the timeline with the Video Offset feature.
Really seeing is believing so do not delay in ordering your copy now.
