Sonicfire® Pro’s Award Winning Mood
Mapping Feature

Set Mood keyframes to change the instrument mix at precise points on the timeline. Use these keyframes to automatically change the mix to match the appropriate intensity, texture, emotion, etc., of your scene as it changes.

What's your Mood?

Set the Mood (or instrument mix) for any area on the timeline. Select a preset Mood Mix from the list in the Mood window of the Inspector, or adjust the sliders to get the perfect custom mix.

Transition Time

Control the transition between moods with this slider. Make a subtle transition by setting it longer or set it to zero to make an immediate transition that emphasizes a change in your video.

Applying Mood Mapping

Mood Mapping is one of the most powerful tools available to taylor music to your video's changing dynamics, energy, and emotion. Use it to accompany dialog and adapt the mix to the respective speaker's energy level and tones. You can also increase intensity as the scene progresses, or decrease it after an important event or climax. As with Timing Control, Mood Mapping is unique to Smartsound and gives you with full control over what the music is doing at any given point in your video.
