out of sound design projects, the framesync library

Posted on Monday, 22 November

One of the things that I find most interesting and useful about free software is how the tool gets developed as part of the process of making the result.  I was just working on the sound design for the video Undervine, which is a visualization of data about the wine industry.  I’ve worked on a couple other data vis projects, and some sound design for video in different contexts.  I used Pure Data for these projects because I’m deeply involved in it.  So out of these projects, I’ve started developing a library to make it really easy to sync up sounds with video, then make it easy to skip around and compose while keeping everything easy and in sync.

This library is starting to take shape, and I’ve started to document it, not only for others, but also to remind myself how to use the things inside.  If you are interested, check it out: framesync
