BG Builder

An innovative productivity tool tailored for Sound FX Editors. BG Builder's advanced algorithm matches and places recurring background sound effects into similar scenes within a Pro Tools super session. By importing Video Edit Decision Lists (EDLs), and Scripts or Continuities, the Sound Editors' past edits are assembled into a new episode or film reel.

Key Features of BG Builder (BGB):

1. Effortless Database Creation: BGB automatically generates a database file whenever an EDL and Script or Continuity is imported. This database is structured based on the hour information present in the filenames. These databases can serve as replacements for the original EDL and Script or Continuity files and can be conveniently retargeted to specific hours within your super session.

2. Comprehensive Compatibility: BGB has undergone rigorous testing with various source inputs. Recognizing that sound editors may receive EDLs and Scripts or Continuities that are new to us, we will rapidly integrate new sources into our datasets and update the application.

3. Platform Support: BGB is currently compatible with Mac OS ARM (M1 / M2), and support for Intel Macs is in development. Based on customer feedback we are actively considering support for Windows x86. For users outside the Pro Tools ecosystem, a conform.EDL file is automatically generated and can be used with your preferred DAW and assembly software.

4. Affordable Pricing: BG Builder is available for a one-time purchase price of $100, with an annual subscription fee of $20 for updates.

Todd-AO remains committed to the ongoing enhancement of BG Builder to empower sound editors with an even more potent and efficient tool. Our future development efforts will prioritize advanced matching capabilities and integration with computer vision technology. Customer input is always welcomed and encouraged.
