Sony Cinescore is software that meets the strictest requirements for soundtracks creating and video postscoring. Cinescore features advanced technology settings, the great level of performance and previously unavailable productivity. Sony Cinescore software is a breakthrough in professional soundtrack creation, automatically generating fully composed, multigenre, production music perfect for movies, slideshows, commercials, and radio productions.
Sony Media Software’s Cinescore is targeted primarily for non-musically inclined people (and even engineers and producers) who have the need to create custom music beds with a minimum investment in time, effort and money. Cinescore may be of particular interest to project and personal-production studio owners looking to offer an alternative for canned library music to their clients.
The main window of Cinescore most closely resembles Sony’s Vegas video/audio editing software: a horizontal timeline-style area for the display of the video and audio tracks across the top half of the window, and a multi-purpose window-docking area across the bottom half that can be used to display various windows including a file explorer, project media explorer, audio meters and video preview. Like other Sony Media applications, section divisions can be resized and windows can be shuffled, layered in tabs or undocked and placed elsewhere on the desktop.
The program comes with 20 Theme sets. Each Theme comes with around 20 Variations. The program limits the number of tracks to one video track and an associated audio track for extracted synchronous audio, a dedicated audio track for the Cinescore-generated music, and an “Audio Transitions” track that can be used for hits, sweeps, swells, sound effects or anything else that strikes your fancy. Cinescore can import a wide variety of media formats including AVI, AIF, BMP, JPG, MP3, MPEG-1 & MPEG-2 video, PCA, PSD, QT, SWF, WAV, WMA and WMV. Finished projects can be rendered out as AVI, AIF, AVC, AAC, MP3, MPEG-1 & MPEG-2 video, Real Audio & Video, WAV and Windows Media Audio & Video.
Cinescore is impressive for a first attempt, but it can be frustrating to use and would be far more effective as a plug-in for a video editing package rather than a standalone tool.
