The Cargo Cult Launch Conformalizer 4 .1 With New Video Compare Feature

Our friends at The Cargo Cult have just released a major update to their audio post production tool Conformalizer that includes a new groundbreaking feature called Video Compare.

What Is Conformalizer?

Conformalizer enables sound editors to automatically conform and rebalance audio data to match a changed picture cut by comparing picture EDLs, XML, cutlists or change notes. Conformalizer creates new "change EDL" which reflects the difference between two versions of the picture. Conformalizer automatically conforms Pro Tools sessions, databases and mix automation to match new versions of cuts.

To upgrade, purchase and demo please visit The Cargo Cult website.
