Experience the creative power of turning the best library music into a fully-cutomized music score. Sonicfire Pro 5 Scoring Edition offers the most innovative set of features for adding high-impact music to any type of project. Its familiar timeline interface and intuitive access to SmartSound’s patented music editing features make it immediately rewarding for video and audio editors alike.

Multitrack Timeline with Video
Scoring Edition features a familiar multitrack timeline interface that includes unique SmartSound features that add new levels of creative control. A video window is also available for you to synchronize the music precisely to your video sequence.

Mood Mapping
Make SmartSound’s Multi-Layer Music adapt to the changing moods of your production. Mood Mapping makes it easy for you to control up to 9 different instrument layers from a single track on the timeline.

Timing Control
SmartSound has been relentless in providing solutions to overcome the limitations of traditional library music by empowering a new level of creativity through technological innovation. Sonicfire Pro 5’s Timing Control features are the biggest new innovation in customizing library music. Now you can adjust when the section changes occur in a track or move a perfect musical beat to match an event in your video. Simply select the “Timing Control” option and these new controls are at your fingertips.

Spotting Tools
The new Spotting feature of Sonicfire Pro 5 lets you set the important music markers along any imported video sequence. Mark the music in and out points and also mark key events in your scene that need support of a well-timed change in the music. Once you’ve set your markers, the Spotting tool will turn your visual cues into a list of music search results that are ideally suited for the duration and pacing of your markers.

Smart Recall
Smart Recall is another great innovation from SmartSound. Every music file created by Sonicfire Pro works as a standard audio file in all of your media applications, but it also retains full customization control. If you wanted to change the length or adjust the mix of any other library music, it would be nearly impossible. With Smart Recall, your music files will open in Sonicfire Pro with the settings that were used to create the file. Make some quick adjustments to the length, variation or mix and update the original or save a copy with your new settings.

SmartSound's new Final Cut Pro Plug-In receives rave reviews from Final Cut Pro expert Larry Jordan and attendees at this year's NAB Show in Las Vegas.

Mark It, Score It, Send It - Instant Music, No Hassle SmartSound provides Final Cut Pro users with thousands of music selections that can be automatically edited to fit any length of media and dropped into your Final Cut Pro timeline in THREE simple and easy steps. Step 1. Mark It - Using our new Final Cut Pro Plug-In, Sonicfire Pro 5 automatically reads your Final Cut Pro markers and in/out points and calculates the exact amount of music needed to compliment your visual media. Step 2. Score It - Quickly search through thousands of tracks using keywords, categories, Sensory Searching ("More Like This, Faster, Slower, More Intense, Less Intense"), or our Tap Tempo feature, which searches using the tempo created by clicking your mouse. Once you find the music track you like, Sonicfire Pro automatically scores it to fit within your Final Cut Pro markers, while preserving the orginal beginning and ending of each music track so your SmartSound selections sound like they were uniquely composed for your project. Step 3. Send It - Once you have customized your music track in Sonicfire Pro, simply click the “Send To” button and your music selection is added directly to your Final Cut Pro project.
