Synchronos Light

Synchronos Light is a professional dubbing and voice-over software application whose purpose is to help you synchronize text with video content. It is also able to work with RS-422 slave and MIDI remote connections.

Clean GUI and supported file formats

The tool adopts a user-friendly layout that offers quick access to a preview panel and a timeline window where you can manually input the text. The concept behind the sync process is based on a simple yet efficient idea, namely the text that scrolls under the red bar needs to be in perfect coordination with the video.
What’s more, you can place multiple actors and help them easily read the text that is synchronized with the displayed frame. The app works with several video (MPG, AVI and MOV) and audio (MP3, WAV, AIFF) formats.

Creating a new project

Synchronos Light gives you the possibility to store all your settings with the aid of projects. A new project can be created by specifying the audio and video files, and providing the file name and saving directory.
The utility keeps a list with recent projects so you can easily access them and lets you enable the full screen display (so you can focus solely on your work), play or pause the current selection, start the recording mode, import text data from plain text file format and assign sentences to each actor, as well as place markers and actors.

Saving options

When it comes to exporting features, you may save the video to MOV file format. Several exporting parameters can be tweaked, namely change the resolution, alter the video size, adjust the frame rate, export the recorded sounds, pick the start and end points, as well as select the video codec (e.g. MPEG4, H.264).

Several configuration settings

Synchronos Light allows you to alter the text in terms of font, size and color, pick the audio device used for recording the audio stream, set up remote parameters, and change the looks of the application by selecting between different themes.

An overall efficient Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) app

All in all, Synchronos Light comes with a handy suite of features for helping you carry out video sync projects by positioning text messages to specific time codes. On the downside, not all of the program’s features are translated into English accurately.
If you are looking for advanced functions, such as layer and automatic cut detection, loop and scene management, text exporting options, RTF saving mode for sentences, and integrated audio recorder, you can check out the other version of the utility, which can be found here.
