Digital Performer's track layout, mixing board, and transport controls are all you need for the foundation of a powerful computer-based production system.
Digital Performer for Film Scoring
From Hollywood blockbusters to indie classics, Digital Performer's film-friendly features make it the choice of film composers worldwide.
New film scoring features in DP 4.6Digital Performer 4.6 is packed with numerous enhancements for writing music for picture, including enhancements to Find Tempo, multiple QuickTime movies, multiple QuickScribe windows and exporting audio to a QuickTime movie.
Insert measures
Have you ever wanted to add more time to the beginning of the sequence without moving any existing material? Insert Measures is a feature that film composers will really appreciate. Let's say you have a SMPTE sync point that starts a piece of music you have composed. This music is perfect, but the director wants to add some lead-in music to build some tension. Simply drop in as much space as you need and Insert Measures preserves all times including SMPTE hit points following the insertion point.
Track Grouping
Digital Performer's track grouping feature allows you to create an unlimited number of track groups, and tracks that can be linked for mixing, editing, both or for a customized set of operations that you specify. Tracks can be a member of more than one group. Groups can also be "nested" within each other. Track grouping allows you to apply operations to the tracks in the group as a single unit. For example, for a mix group, moving the volume fader for one track in the group moves the faders in all tracks in the group.
FireWire QuickTime video playback
The Movie window has the ability to output a DV-formatted QuickTime movie via FireWire. You can then use a standard DV camera or FireWire conversion box to convert the FireWire video into composite video to view it as full screen video on a standard TV or video monitor-even on iMacs or laptops.
