March 10 2016 Professional video editing software, Forscene is leading the editing evolution at NAB 2016 with new features aimed at solving some of today's biggest post-production challenges.

Scheduled for release to Forscene customers on the 29th of March 2016, the new functionality provides the ability to autosync multiple source material in Forscene as well as to easily satisfy current and impending U.S. closed caption regulations.

Autosync for simple workflows and saved storage

Forscene's new autosync tool makes it easy for users to create synced, multi-track sequences irrespective of whether the source footage has synced timecode - or even any timecode at all. Editors can create sync maps for numerous video and/or audio sources in Forscene using either the original time code or by assigning an auxiliary timecode to the source, and then edit from a multi-track sequence or a multicam clip. As well as simplifying the sync-mapping process, this development significantly reduces media storage requirements during post-production. Because Forscene proxies are created directly from the camera source, the post house doesn't need to store the original media during the rough cut, and only high-res source for shots included in the cut-down sequence needs to be ingested for finishing at the post-house.

Meeting closed caption quality standards

The FCC and CVAA deadlines for closed captioning video content extend beyond just the requirement for T.V. and online programming to include captions. The FCC has set strict quality standards for television captioning, which sets the precedent for online video captioning as a whole. Forscene's newly improved closed caption tool allows users to ingest, create, edit and publish captions just like a video or audio track on the timeline making it easier for clients to ensure that their content complies to the standards.

Close caption Quality Requirement Forscene Capability

Accuracy: Captions must relay the speaker's exact words with correct spelling, punctuation and grammar with 99% accuracy. Forscene automatically imports closed caption metadata into sequences. Users can then extract closed captions that are embedded in media and edit the existing metadata to ensure 100% accuracy.

Program completeness: Captions must be included from start to finish. Users can create closed captions from scratch, directly on the Forscene timeline.

Time synchronisation: Captions must align with the timing that the words are spoken. Because closed captions are treated in the same way as titles or other media tracks in Forscene, it's easy to trim captions to match the audio, directly on the timeline.

Placement: Captions must be positioned on the screen without blocking important content. Forscene users can choose to publish sequences with closed captions embedded in the video or with separate caption metadata. Captions can be exported in various formats including sidecar files, AAF and Avid SubCap.

Forscene is exhibiting at NAB 2016, 18-21 April at booth SL5305.
