Okay, normally I'm not into product pimping, but...

Sony's Cinescore has been my "secret weapon" the past couple years for generating soundtracks for the HC videos as well as other videos. They're discontinuing the product so I guess other people didn't find it as incredibly useful as I did...it's a real loss, maybe they'll sell the engine to someone else if we're lucky.

 

Anyway, this is a helluva deal so I thought I'd give y'all a heads-up. I can answer any questions you have about it :)

Are they going to bury it - or license it?

 

The timing seems wrong. Everybody and their nephew is mounting video at youtube and facebook, etc.. It seems like it would be a candidate for sale in the consumer discount channels.

 

Did they develop the program in house?

Why do you think it failed to connect?

 

 

Good question. It was a little difficult to figure out how to use to its maximum potential, and also, the various themes added up $$$-wise if you wanted to have a full library. Also, I think it might have been difficult to explain how it worked from a marketing perspective - I certainly didn't "get" it until I had a copy to review and could delve into it.

 

They might have had better luck if they'd pushed it as a straight ahead music library that, oh by the way, you could also modify and customize if you were so inclined.

I assume it was developed by the former Sonic Foundry that also does Vegas, Acid, and Sound Forge. I hope they don't bury it, the program is really clever and deserves better.

Money's a little tight right now (I'm sure I'm the only one in the world in that situation, of course), but this looks like a great deal if it's anywhere near as useful as you say.

 

Any recommendations on theme packs?

 

I see there appear to be 16 but there's a 10-bundle offer. I'm a little beside myself trying to triage that one... my first inclination might have been to toss the music I had the least interest in -- but since I'm interested in these for online video/marketing stuff, maybe I'd be better off making sure I do get the stuff farthest away from my own tastes and music, since that is likely what I'd have the most difficulty coming up with on my own.

 

Or maybe I should buy the main package and maybe one theme pack and check it out before I commit to any of the theme packs... I dunno. I hate having to sweat purchases I used to make on a whim, but, dang, all that stuff finally started adding up... :facepalm:
