Singular Software™, the award-winning developer of workflow automation applications for digital media markets, is pleased to announce the availability of Singular Software Presto™, a revolutionary new tool for creating presentation videos. Ideal for conference presentations, training sessions, and workshops, Singular Software Presto leverages sophisticated computer vision and audio synchronization techniques to automate the assembly of presenter footage, slideshow, and audio elements, creating a professional-looking video package in minutes instead of hours.

The Singular Software Presto step-by-step wizard lets users of all skill levels zip through the creative process, with simple output options to publish presentation videos to YouTube®, iPad®, DVD, and more. Users need only record video of the presenter and the projection screen, obtain the original slides, and optionally capture higher quality audio from the presenter’s microphone. In just minutes, Singular Software Presto automatically creates an attention-grabbing presentation that combines sharp and bright original slide images with a closely tracked inset of the presenter for a polished and engaging video.

“There is immense value in preparing and distributing presentation videos, but for most people, the traditional means of doing so poses a significant barrier. It is time consuming, difficult, and often requires a skilled editor,” says Bruce Sharpe, CEO, Singular Software. “We wanted to create an easy way to package this valuable information, all the while maintaining high quality. Singular Software Presto brings the presenter and his or her original slides together, quickly creating a captivating video that can be exported to a wide variety of formats, expanding audience reach and leveraging all the effort put into preparing the presentation.”

Singular Software Presto Key Capabilities
• Face-tracking technology keeps the presenter within an inset without requiring laborious manual tracking during the presentation; the camera recording the presenter can often be locked down.

• Slideshow image-matching technology ensures that the slide transitions are timed exactly as they were during the presentation when Singular Software Presto replaces the imported projection screen video footage with high-quality slideshow images.

• Singular Software Presto works with presentations in Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Apple® Keynote®, and other programs.

• A wide range of customizable slide transition effects and layout options are available to spice up the video.

• Users can easily navigate through the finished video using markers that are automatically placed at each slide transition.

• Singular Software Presto integrates with Singular Software PluralEyes™ to automatically synchronize the presenter video, projection screen video, and audio tracks.

• Simple output options make it easy to prepare the video for distribution in all popular formats, including YouTube, iPad, iPod®, and DVD.

Singular Software, award-winning developer of automation applications for video post-production, has announced that CEO Bruce Sharpe will be delivering a highly informative session alongside Roland Systems Group at WEVA Expo 2010, titled: “Enhancing Video Productions Using Multiple Cameras and External Audio.” This year marks the 20th anniversary of the international conference, which will run from August 23-26 at The Dolphin Resort in Walt Disney World, Florida.

The 60-minute session will present multi-camera, dual-system synchronization techniques common for HDSLR use, including: managing multiple cameras on-location; simplifying the acquisition of great-quality audio; and accelerating the workflow for edits of multiple recording devices. All presented techniques will reference popular non-linear editors such as Final Cut Pro(R), Premiere Pro(R) and Vegas Pro(R).

“Technology trends are constantly shifting and client expectations keep rising. In order to produce the highest quality work and stand out from the competition, videographers must be up-to-speed on all the latest tips and tricks of the industry,” says Bruce. “WEVA ensures attendees get the most out of the conference by providing a multitude of session options – something for every niche. I look forward to giving attendees new and pragmatic approaches to their end-to-end workflows.”

“Video professionals realize that good audio can separate them from ‘Uncle Charlie and his personal camcorder,’ and with the advent of cost-effective digital recording devices, multiple sources are commonplace,” says John Zale, Director of Educational Development at WEVA. “Up until now, one of the challenges has been figuring out a way to sync those sources accurately and in a timely manner. WEVA looks forward to having Bruce demonstrate the ability to handle this task with just a few clicks of the mouse!”

“Enhancing Video Productions Using Multiple Cameras and External Audio” will begin promptly at 9:30 AM EDT and conclude at 10:30 AM EDT on Wednesday, August 25. For additional information about WEVA Expo and conference sessions, please visit the link provided.

Winner of TV Technology’s 2010 Mario Award for its breakthrough technology, DualEyes is designed as a standalone application for the automatic synchronization of video and audio clips for dual-system audio production. Designed to work alongside any video editing application, DualEyes is powered by the same advanced technology as the popular PluralEyes(TM) product, but is streamlined for the task of replacing in-camera scratch audio with separately recorded high-quality audio.

With DualEyes’ technology, all original media files are kept intact and new media files are created for maximum flexibility. Import the video and new audio clips into any video editor and link them up to start the video editing process. Since DualEyes is a standalone application it can be used with any video editing software for easy retrieval of the highest quality audio for any video production.

Established in 2008, Singular Software pioneers the development of workflow automation applications for audio and video professionals. Its breakthrough solution, PluralEyes, offers innovative technology to automate and simplify multi-camera, multi-take and dual-system audio workflows.
