CINESCORE 1.0
Sony Cinescore provides an easy solution to provide royalty-free music for the user's video productions. After importing their media the user simply selects a region over which generated music is required and selects an appropriate theme. The theme can be adjusted using parameters such as mood, tempo and intensity. Further changes can be made to these parameters, to correlate with action in the video, by placing 'hints' along a time-line. Theme variations can produce anything from complex songs to short, stinger tracks, with variations on endings. Cinescore is supplied complete with a DVD containing twenty themes, and over 300 sound effects and audio transitions. Further theme packs can be purchased to expand the repertoire, contact Technical Support for further information.
Generated music is presented on a time-line interface as a stereo WAV file, and can be edited to hone the piece to the precise requirements of the user. A dedicated video track and its associated audio track are also presented. Although Cinescore is not a video editor as such, basic editing can take place on the time-line and an additional audio track is presented to include spot effects and transitions. The three audio tracks can be mixed accordingly. The end result can be saved in a variety of formats. Cinescore, when installed, becomes available as a score generator within Sony Vegas.
