FYI to anyone who has viewed the Cinescore training videos and is looking forward to Cinescore Studio. Key features of what I saw in the training videos that you don't get in *Studio*:
1) choice of multiple compositions within a theme
2) hints to adjust intensity (this is the big one)
As delivered in VMS9 Cinescore *Studio* might get you through one short video. If you are a home videographer then you have basically one audience. How long will it take to tire your audience of the music? In a 30 minute video, I say before its over. Shorter video's then I would say about the beginning of the second one.
I'm no music expert, but what my ears hear is that a Theme is basically the same tune no matter which variations you choose. And *Studio* gives very little option to do anything else with it.
I can't imagine any video of length getting by on that. You get 2 Themes which, IIRC, are themselves the same tune. (I'm not at my VMS computer so I can reverify that right now.)
It would seem goofy to me to have a 30 minute video with all the clips playing the same tune, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes this, sometimes that.
I wouldn't even bother to buy additional themes for Cinescore Studio missing the key features mentioned above. There's no way the default for a theme could hit your impact points (without intensity hints).
So basically I find it useless other than to make me wish I had the money for the real Cinescore which from what I saw in the training videos is great for non-musical people like myself. Alas, to get that with a useful set of themes would be more than I paid for VMS and my HD camera.
Am I wrong? Is anyone getting anything useful out of Cinescore Studio without additional themes or even with additional themes?
I read a post where some one had real Cinescore. Does it integrate as a plug in to VMS9 as well *Studio* integrates? So that you don't have to render/import your video to Cinescore in order to score it?
