Hi all,

Could anyone recomend me a good piece of software for composing to picture besides Nuendo? Basically, I'd like something which accepts a wide variety of video formats and is VST compatible.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks

I agree with "FilmHits"

I agree with "FilmHits" above. After using nearly every package out there on virtually every platform. The best for scoring and sound design in my book is Digital Performer and a G5 PPC. It does twice what PT does and for 1/3 the $$ (ProTools HD-1) Nuendo is greta for a tracking studio with a powerful PC. I also like Sonar and Cakewalk for MIDI orchestration. But the best all around is DP/MAC combo.

Hi Guy,

I'm running version 6 but prefer not to convert my video files to Quicktime. It is Quicktime only right?

Thanks for the replies guys

Thanks for the replies guys though I should have stated I'm PC based.

I'm using Premiere at the minute Leo, composing in Ableton then dropping the audio in Premiere as you mentioned. Am I right in thinking it's pretty much just this method or Nuendo for PC then? I really need perfect sync, scoring directly to picture.

Maybe I should persevere with Nuendo...Grr Steinberg. I hope Ableton bring in scoring to picture in the next version...

Thanks again :)

I use both Digital

I use both Digital Performer,(www.motu.com) for Midi/audio work, as well as PROTOOLS, which you can download for free (protools LE), but you will need hardware such as the M-box for the protools ( www.digidesign.com)
