Synchro Arts Titan 4 (Discontinued) Synchro Arts

Titan is a set of three processes for use in audio post production workflows.

• Flash Conform – conforms multi-channel location sound recordings to picture editors EDL’s.
• Fix Sync – corrects synchronization discrepancies between location sound and audio from the picture editors.
• Flash Cutter – re-cuts Pro Tools sessions to follow changes in picture edits.

Flash Conform

• Creates Pro Tool 9 sessions
• Better handling of badly formatted audio files, will create file error report.
• Improved conform reports.
• Creates a simplified text report file that can be used in other applications.
• Warning if Source and Destination frame rates do not match the EDL.
• Can read Light Works EDL’s.

Flash Cutter

• Now works with Pro Tools 9

Fix Sync

• Compatible with Pro Tools 9.
• Improved alignment in fast mode.
• Sample accurate alignment mode.
• Can now operate on sessions which contain AUX, MIDI, and other non audio tracks

 

Requirements

Mac OSX 10.5 or higher and an Intel processor.

Fix Sync

Titan’s Fix Sync function automatically adjusts the position of manually or auto-conformed audio regions to sync precisely to a work track. Similarly the Fix Sync function can correct the sync of audio that has passed through signal processing devices and has been delayed by unknown amounts.

Fix Sync virtually eliminates the need to adjust sync manually while listening for phasing or visually comparing waveforms with a worktrack.

• Automatically corrects the position of audio that is out of sync by up to +/- 2.0 seconds to sample level accuracy.
• Hundreds of regions are corrected in minutes.
• Multi-channel Regions can be adjusted together to maintain phase relationship.
• Optional report indicates magnitude of errors, detection of signal inversion (180º phase shifts) and amount of shifting done.

Flash Cutter

 

Cut only mode (Conform)

Flash Cutter, avoids having manually to re-cut and rename edits in situations when tape is used to transfer audio from any editing system to a Pro Tools system, and an OMF transfer is not a practical option. Once the audio on tape has been transferred into continuous tracks in a Pro Tools session and correctly positioned, Flash Cutter uses a standard EDL from the first editing system to automatically re-cut the tracks and rename the audio regions.

• Automatically cuts and names several hundred edits in seconds.
• Simple assignment of EDL channels to Session Tracks.
• Regions, Tracks and Sessions are automatically named from EDL and user-supplied information.

Cut and Move Mode (Re-cut)

This addition to Flash Cutter allows user-selected tracks in a Pro Tools Session to be Cut into sections defined by EDL events source In/Out times which can be moved to new positions with starting points defined by each EDL events’ record (or destination) In time. This allows blocks of audio to be repositioned instantly and automatically.

• Each Cut (and move) event in the EDL can operate on multiple regions, fades and tracks at the same time.
• Given the original EDL used to confrom a sesison and a new EDL from the video editor Titan can calculate the re-cut and a re-confrom EDLs.

Flash Conform

• Flash Conform can conform audio loaded into hard disk and DVD drives from audio editors or location recorders.
• It supports a wide range of reel/roll and time code identification options.
• It can conform audio with mixed sample rates and bit depth, converting the audio to a single user selected sample rate and bit depth. (Supports all supple rates up to 192 kHz)
• An unlimted number of audio channels are supported. Audio channels can be identified in may different ways.
• It can create Pro Tools and AES31 sessions.

System Requirements

Titan 3.1.4 is included with Titan 4 to provide legacy support.

Macintosh

• PowerPC or better
• Mac OS 9.0 higher OS X or higher
• 20 Megabytes of Free RAM
• File Format: SDII,Wave, Broadcast Wave and AIFF (AIFF not supported in Flash Conform)
• Pro Tools session formats supported: 4.0 to 6.7
