BORIS FX/MEDIA 100 PARTNER WITH SOUNDTRACK TOOL DEVELOPER
The partnership compliments the Boris FX and Media 100 effects and
editing workflows by allowing users to quickly create original,
royalty-free, broadcast-quality soundtracks. Abaltat benefits by
tapping into Boris FX & Media 100’s strong North American
distribution channel.
Muse ($495) is Abaltat’s flagship application and allows editors to
design soundtracks that match their picture sequence. The tool offers
royalty-free music and seamless integration into Media 100 editing
solutions. Its MIDI export functionality allows users to import
directly into Digidesign Pro Tools or Apple’s Logic applications. The
tool also provides editors with a “first draft” of a composition, which
they can use as a guide track and further refine at a later time in the
post process.
Abaltat Express ($230) is designed for users of Apple’s GarageBand or
Logic applications and allows editors to create professional
soundtracks while using the audio engine and sounds that are native to
standard desktops systems. The results can be exported to any software
that supports the standard MIDI file format.
And Abaltat Beat ($75) automatically calculates the best rhythmical fit
for a video by analyzing the EDL. The resulting “best fit” is played by
Abaltat Beat as a MIDI drum track and is expressed in beats per minute.
The speed of the drum track, as well as time signatures, can be
adjusted.
