I was expecting some news from Sony at IBC on a replacement Cinescore whether it be a built in solution for VP Pro 10 or a third party plug in like smartsound. a little disappointed.
Any one heard anything ?
I don't. I bought it, installed it and that was the end of it for me.
Smartsound has a HUGE library and now have music with vocals. Their product is NLE agnostic so their potential client base is much bigger than Cinescore's. That means they can amortize the cost of recording music over many more sales.
What I've found ever so useful with Smartsound is I don't have to find the music the client wants for them, I just point them to Smartsound and let them choose the music.
Their "shutdown" notice indicated "We're currently developing next generation music creation technology and the discontinued version of Cinescore will be the last." So at least at that time it sounded like they were working or planning on some kind of replacement...
