Sony Media Software, a provider of professional video and audio editing software applications, has announced the launch of Cinescore software, a new concept in music creation technology that automatically generates complete custom soundtracks for movie makers, audio producers and other content creators who require royalty-free music to enhance and enrich their work.
Cinescore software provides content creators with a broad palette of musical themes that can be customized to match the specific moods and genres of the surrounding work. Producers select a basic Theme, then the Cinescore music
generation engine creates music that can be shaped to fit. The music¹s time and tempo, intensity, variation and repetition can be easily connected with associated video or voiceover down to frame level accuracy to create the
perfect soundtrack without requiring any specialized musical knowledge or technical skill.
³Cinescore makes the thrill of music creation more accessible than ever
before providing virtually anyone working in any creative medium the ability
to add the crucial dimension of custom audio composition to their projects,²
said Dave Chaimson, vice president of Marketing for Sony Media Software.
³The power and versatility of this unique software enables the expanding
market of professional, semi-professional and aspiring digital content
creators to produce fully finished pieces instead of having to settle for
rough cuts with inadequate soundtracks because of the expense or expertise
previously required to craft them.²
Chaimson also noted that Cinescore software comes complete with a core
repertoire but can be augmented with a series of professionally produced and
recorded Theme Packs to ensure a unique sound regardless of the scale of the
project or projects. Listeners experience sound that is as fresh as the
creative content it augments.
Behind this program¹s streamlined and familiar-looking Sony Media Software
interface, the full range of powerful Cinescore features include real-time
enhanced editing during playback and ripple editing functions that allow
changes across multiple tracks simultaneously.
