Singular Software, developer of workflow automation applications for digital media, announced a public beta program for its new PluralEyes for EDIUS, the popular NLE editing system from Grass Valley. PluralEyes is known in the postproduction community for its acceleration of workflows for multi-camera, multi-take and dual-system audio productions by analyzing audio information to automatically synchronize audio and video clips. PluralEyes can be used for a wide range of projects, from live events to documentaries, commercials and indie films.
“I can’t tell you how many times [PluralEyes] has saved my life on a project because it allows you to start editing right away,” says producer, director, DP and editor John DeMaio. “Trust me, you don’t want to spend hours syncing things together. You want to start editing and getting creative!”
“Expanding our list of host applications for our software is key in reaching the largest group of editors and postproduction professionals we can,” says Bruce Sharpe, CEO of Singular Software. “EDIUS is a widely-used editing suite, and we are thrilled to open beta testing to Grass Valley customers.”
“EDIUS is a very powerful multi-cam editor, but still it is recommended to take the necessary preparatory steps to synchronize the cameras beforehand,” explains Alex Kataoka, EDIUS product manager for Grass Valley. “If the cameras are not synced in advance, and there are no obvious reference scenes you can use to sync the video, then PluralEyes is the perfect tool for the job. We are very pleased to announce this relationship with Singular, because it really is very complementary to the way EDIUS works and gives us a very comprehensive solution for multi-cam editing.”
The PluralEyes for EDIUS public beta is available as a free download via the Singular Software website.
