Scoring To Picture

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

Hi Guy,

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

Hi Noise Source, You can

Hi Noise Source,

You can import video and work in smpt time code with ableton 6. What version are you running?



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 won’t stop believing-wishes do come true,I gotta believe you



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)
