pressing the audio so it matches the video being played too fast (25fps instead of 24) but preferably run the video
at the correct speed (24fps) and therefore the audio also.
Surround Post-processing
Conversion of a final mix from 24 to 25 for DVD/Video distribution of a film or 25 to 24 for film distribution of a
video shot and edited movie.
Pyramix allows stretching/squeezing a whole surround mix by selecting the menu Project > Surround Post-pro-
cessing and choosing the Prosoniq MPEX4 24/25 Time Stretcher module. This function stretches/squeezes a
whole 5.1 mix without inter-channels phase artifacts thanks to the new Prosoniq MPEX4 algorithm. This function
allows processing multiple stem surround mixes stem by stem. Due to artefacts introduced by most time stretch-
ing algorithms available until now, the normal procedure was to separate the dialogue stem and the music/
effects/ambiance stems, time-stretch them separately and remix them afterward. Although the Surround Post-
processing function allows this methodology, this is no longer required due to the very high quality of the MPEX4
module. Therefore a complete mix can be stretched in one pass retaining maximum sound quality.
Time fit
Compression or expansion of a portion of audio to fit in a given time, generally dialogue, ADR, translation or Foley.
Pyramix provides three ways to stretch/squeeze a Region of audio:
• Just select the Region or Clip to process and place the cursor at the position where the nearest Region
boundary should be extended to and select Edit > Stretch. A dialog will then allow the boundaries to be
precisely adjusted with the help of TimeCode entries, or simply click OK or press the Enter key to confirm
the operation.
• Select the Region or Clip you want to process and copy it (Edit > Copy, or Ctrl C etc.). Select the Region
you want the copied Region to fit into then simply use the command Edit > Fit Selection.
• Select the Region or Clip to process, select the menu Project > Render and choose the Prosoniq MPEX4
module.
