Reconform in Pro Tools
We need your help!
Pro Tools needs better reconform... but there's not much else we can do till we have some integration with Pro Tools. We need to make Avid see our plight, so we’re asking for “victim statements” from the sound post-production community. Right now Conformalizer relies on sending simulated keyboard events to Pro Tools in order to make the recut. It’s an embarrassingly crude method. It’s slow, It’s flakey, it’s easily broken and it's just so 1990s. As Film, TV, Web and Game industry sound professionals, you all know that reconform is now an absolutely crucial part of our work. If we can help Avid understand the scale of the issue, we might just get some action. So please take a minute to complete this short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SNPYHPR |

AVID should be rolling out a red carpet for you third party developers focussed on post-production for making PT a (fairly) efficient post production tool. Without you it would still be in the stone ages. It's also amazing how many additional tools we have to buy to turn ProTools into a workable machine for audio post production. Without them we'd literally drown in the flood of recuts and today's crazy demands. Without third party tools we wouldn't be able to do: -ADR management in PT (we had this more than a 1.5 decades ago in AVID AudioVision) -Still absolutely no efficient way of managing notes and markers inside a given project. We're still re-purposing audio tracks and region groups as markers and note-pad like more a decade ago. -Conform -Efficient sound library workflow -Prep Panning for immersive sound formats -All sorts of EDL cleanups and unbelievable workarounds to help translate conform info from MC to PT that are made by the same MFG.

Re: Reconform in Pro Tools
Frank, I have to agree.
If you see the whole picture it's really bad. Nuendo came up with many of those tools in the last years. AVID was lost in the cloud. I can't follow the decisions that were made by AVID, which features should have priority. It seems that they don't use their own tools (ideascale). Cheers Maik

+No elegant video handling solution for years. No multiple session support. Still no modern multi channel analyzing tools built in.

Re: Reconform in Pro Tools
Having a unified session format shared by Media Composer, and Pro Tools would be a solution.
Perhaps as a convoluted interim, given that Pro Tools uses the Avid Video Engine, and Media Composer has been steadily moving toward (and may even have - I've lost track) the Avid Audio Engine, is there some way PT can get picture cut information from MC, and MC can get sound cut/mix info from PT??? Seems logical you ought to be able to interchange sessions, and session data between the two - without having to jump through any hoops : open the session in MC and you have limited audio functionality / open the session in PT and you have limited video functionality / import session data is fully bidirectional. Of course, there are still going to be issues with FCP etc, but Avid seemed to have 3rd party interaction in mind when they first started touting Cloud Collaboration ; the implication (or perhaps with hindsight, my rather optimistic interpretation) being that Avid were going to be offering 3rd party developers a free toolkit to integrate Avid Cloud Collaboration within their own software. If it turns out that when Avid mentioned the free 3rd party collaboration scenario, they were thinking no more radically than Pro Tools First (and presumably a Media Composer First), that's yet another missed opportunity that limits CC's potential.

Audiovision was their interchangeable audio software. It was dropped in favor of Pro Tools.

Luckily all the third party programs give PT extra abilities, although full integration of some of those abilities inside PT would be even better. But I gladly filled out the survey, Conformalizer is a great tool. gt
