The Digidesign® DV Toolkit™ 2 option for Pro
Tools LE™ systems provides a comprehensive collection of tools for
producing high end sound for film or video. Whether you need a mobile
solution that gives you access to many of the same post production
features as full Pro Tools|HD® systems or a cost-effective entry to the
world of sound for fi lm, DV Toolkit 2 delivers professional audio for
your picture projects. DV Toolkit 2 adds even more features to the
original DV Toolkit, making this package an even greater value.
Use the included DigiTranslator™ 2.0 option to
import projects from video editing applications, such as Avid Xpress®
software. Record voiceovers and Foley, remove unwanted background
noise, replace on-camera dialog, or add music. Edit and sweeten with
the included collection of post production plug-ins and the wide
variety of specialized editing and session management capabilities
previously available only with Pro Tools® TDM systems. Building on the
utility of the original DV Toolkit, DV Toolkit 2 adds more
post-specific Pro Tools functions, the DigiBase™ Pro file management
tool, TL Space™ Native Edition convolution reverb, the Pro Tools MP3
Option for exporting mixes as MP3 fi les, plus the ability to expand
your sessions up to 48 mono or 48 stereo tracks at 96 kHz.
Essential Post Production Plug-ins
DV Toolkit 2 includes three powerful plug-ins that are ideal for working with sound for picture.
TL Space Native Edition
Use TL Space to instantly add realism to your
fi lm or video project by accessing a full range of authentic acoustic
environments. Choose from the chambers, rooms, and halls included as
part of the comprehensive library of reverb and effect impulses, or
import additional impulses to quickly expand your palette. The TL Space
convolution reverb delivers the sound of real reverberant spaces with
the familiar controls used in high-end hardware reverb units. By
combining sampled acoustics and advanced algorithms, TL Space provides
stunning realism with full control of reverb parameters in mono and
stereo formats, directly from within the Pro Tools environment.
DINR LE
Clean up on-location sound rapidly. DINR™ LE,
an AudioSuite™-only version of the original, award-winning DINR TDM
plug-in, effectively reduces unwanted noise—from street sounds to air
conditioner rumble—for cleaner audio. Since DINR analyzes and subtracts
noise entirely within the digital realm, the results can be virtually
free of side effects.
Synchro Arts VocALign Project for Pro Tools
Use VocALign Project for Pro Tools to
synchronize dialog to video, dub foreign language fi lms, tighten Foley
and sound effects tracks, fi ne-tune the timing of one music track to
match another, or achieve a perfectly lip-synched performance for a
music video. VocALign stretches or squeezes one audio signal to match
the timing patterns of another, automatically, making editing fast and
easy.
DigiBase Pro
The DigiBase fi le management tool (included
with Pro Tools LE software) offers powerful ways to view content on all
mounted volumes (disks), search across multiple volumes simultaneously,
audition files, and copy, rename, and move fi les easily. DV Toolkit 2
offers DigiBase Pro—an advanced version of DigiBase previously
available only with Pro Tools TDM systems. With DigiBase Pro, you can
create and share custom catalogs for quick and easy access to sounds or
files associated with a project. DigiBase Pro streamlines storing and
searching for material in a logical, project-oriented environment. It
is a valuable tool for working with the large number of files and
volumes that can add up on fi lm or video projects
DigiTranslator 2.0
DigiTranslator 2.0 makes the complex process of
file interchange simple and dependable. DigiTranslator seamlessly
converts and exchanges OMF®, AAF, and MXF files between Pro Tools
systems and Avid® workstations— as well as other OMF 2.0–, AAF-, and
MXFcapable audio and video applications. DigiTranslator is completely
integrated with Pro Tools and includes a full range of file exchange
options so you can import or export files directly from within Pro
Tools.
Extended Pro Tools Functionality
DV Toolkit 2 extends the functionality of your
Pro Tools LE software, adding key capabilities for working with sound
for fi lm or video. Many of the added features will already be familiar
to post production pros, providing a seamless transition from Pro
Tools|HD to Pro Tools LE systems. Time Code and Feet + Frames Functions
DV Toolkit 2 adds a Time Code ruler to the Edit window to make it easy
to spot sounds and sound effects according to Time Code or Feet +
Frames values. Replace Region and Edit to Timeline.
Selection Commands
Use the Replace Region function to quickly
replace multiple instances of a sound effect, room noise, loop, or any
other kind of audio region with another one. Select the Edit to
Timeline Selection mode to let Pro Tools LE software automatically
expand or compress the replacement region to fi t within a specified
amount of time.
Scrub Trim Tool
Use the Scrub Trim tool to quickly audition
audio, select a trim point, and simultaneously trim the region at that
point, simply by releasing the mouse.
Export Session Text
With the Export Session Text capability, it’s
easy to communicate essential session information, including the
session’s sample rate, bit depth, and time code format plus the edit
decision list (EDL)—a list of all edits with their time code in and out
points.
Continuous Scrolling
Familiar to many post production pros,
continuous scrolling allows the cursor to sweep continuously across an
updating track display.
Universe Window
Use the Universe Window to get a fast visual
overview of all tracks in a session and to navigate quickly to any
location. The Universe Window is a vital tool for the large sessions
that are common in sound-for-picture projects.
More Audio Tracks
DV Toolkit 2 expands your Pro Tools LE system
to up to 48 mono or 48 stereo tracks at up to 96 kHz so you can create
larger, more complex mixes. Whether you’re creating a mammoth
soundtrack or managing a large session with dialog, Foley, music, and
more, DV Toolkit 2 gives you the tracks you need. With support for up
to 96 kHz (using a 96 kHz–compatible interface), you can capture and
work with those tracks in full fi delity. Pro Tools MP3 Option By
including the Pro Tools MP3 Option, DV Toolkit 2 makes it easy to
listen to a new mix on a portable device or quickly share it with other
members of the project team. Bounce a mix to an MP3 fi le so you can
send music ideas to a director, producer, studio, fi lm editor, or
music supervisor. The MP3 Option uses the original Fraunhofer MP3
algorithm to deliver high-quality results. With a full range of
conversion options, the Pro Tools MP3 Option gives you a simple way to
bounce mixes directly to MP3 without having to use another application.
Post Production Made Easy
DV Toolkit 2 makes it easy to build a fully
functional, cost-effective, and mobile post production solution on a
Pro Tools LE system. With essential plug-ins, special Pro Tools
capabilities designed for delivering sound for picture, plus support
for 48 mono or 48 stereo high-resolution tracks, DV Toolkit 2 gives you
the tools you need to get your work done.
