Audorama 2.0 dark interface with video, sound tracks, visual events and footsteps

Designed to join the workflow

Built for sound professionals.

01 / Sound Editorial

Sound editors + designers

Begin with an inspectable spotting pass, then spend the session reviewing timing, replacing proposals, shaping perspective and building intention.

02 / Supervision

Supervisors + facilities

Review named editorial objects, preserve source organisation and move work into or out of established post pipelines.

03 / Picture-led teams

Editors + filmmakers

Use a guided route to an editable first pass, make straightforward corrections and prepare a clearer session for finishing or handoff.

Picture Analysis

Foley, made editable.

Before the sound comes the movement. Audorama tracks it for you. What you do with it is still entirely yours. Choose the sound, shape the timing, layer and replace until it's your scene.

Two independently analysed Footstep source lanes with editable clips aligned to picture

01 / Visual Footsteps

We track the steps,
you shape the sound.

Audorama follows movement in the picture and turns each footstep into an editable sound event, aligned to the frame, separated by performer and ready for your sound design.

  • DetectAudorama identifies people walking through the shot and tracks their movement frame by frame.
  • SeparateEach performer can have an independent footstep source, giving you separate, editable lanes for different characters.
  • PlaceDetected ground contacts are placed directly on the timeline at the corresponding moments in the picture.
  • ShapeChoose the sound, footwear, surface and character of each source. Adjust timing, density and placement to match the scene.
  • EditThe result is a starting point for your sound design, fully editable and under your control.
Three performers independently detected and tracked for Visual Footsteps

One shot.
Multiple performers.

When several people move through the same scene, Audorama can track them independently.

  • Frame-alignedFootstep contacts are tied to the movement in the picture.
  • Multiple SourcesTrack several performers within the same shot.
  • Independent LanesKeep each performer or source separate in the timeline.
  • Creative ControlChoose the sounds and shape the result. Audorama provides the first pass, you make the soundtrack.

02 / Visual Events

Turn visible actions into editable sound events.

Audorama identifies actions and events in the picture and turns them into named, frame-aligned material ready for sound editorial.

  • DirectDescribe the events a shot needs in your own words.
  • ReviewKeep, rename, move or remove, adjust detected events.
  • DevelopReplace, layer and shape the associated sound.

Visual Map

Let movement shape
the sound.

Use movement and visual properties from the frame to control sound parameters. A tracked subject can change level, pan, effects or instrument controls over time.

The creative studio

Spot, sculpt, mix and
deliver in one place.

Audorama 2.0 grows from a picture-aware spotting environment into a professional sound workspace, built around picture, with the tools to make a pass feel authored, dimensional and ready to travel.

Mix and loudness

Know where
the mix stands
before it leaves the room.

Programme-loudness meters keep integrated level, momentary level, short-term level and true peak visible while you work.

Set the required LUFS target and true-peak ceiling, measure the programme and apply loudness normalisation for a consistent delivery. Audorama keeps the loudness reading beside the output meter, so level decisions remain connected to the mix.

  • NormaliseMatch a delivery target while respecting the selected peak ceiling.

FAQ

What Audorama does,
and what it leaves to you.

What is Audorama, and who is it for? +

Audorama is a professional sound environment built around picture-aware sound editing. It analyses picture, identifies visual events and footsteps, helps find and organise sounds, and turns that information into an editable workflow. It is built primarily for sound designers, sound editors, Foley artists, re-recording mixers and other post-production professionals working with picture.

What are Visual Footsteps? +

Visual Footsteps analyses movement in the picture to identify performers and detect visible footstep timing. It can keep different people on separate source lanes, giving you frame-aligned, editable material from which to choose footwear, surface, performance and perspective.

What are Visual Events? +

Visual Events identifies relevant visible actions and places accepted detections into named, frame-aligned event lanes. Instead of manually spotting every action, you receive an editable first pass that can be reviewed, moved, renamed, replaced, layered or removed.

What is Visual Map? +

Visual Map turns tracked movement and picture properties into editable automation. Position, direction, speed, size, luminance, contrast or saturation can control level, pan, effects or instrument parameters, allowing movement in the frame to shape the sound while you retain musical control.

Can I use my own libraries, and what other sounds are available? +

Yes. Your local sound libraries are central to Audorama and can be searched alongside integrated sources. The macOS package includes a curated 20 GB Pro Sound Effects collection, plus in-app access to more than 200,000 additional PSE recordings and more than 600,000 Freesound community sounds. Both services can be searched directly from Audorama, with relevant licensing and attribution information and no separate Audorama search credits or per-search charges.

Does Audorama process my video in the cloud, and do I need internet access? +

No cloud connection is required for core picture analysis and processing. Picture Analysis, Visual Footsteps, Visual Events and timeline generation run locally on your computer. Internet access is needed only when you choose to search, preview or download sounds from connected services such as Pro Sound Effects and Freesound.

Does Audorama replace my sound editor or take over the creative process? +

No. Audorama accelerates the work without removing the sound professional from it. It can analyze, identify, organize and prepare a structured first pass; you decide which sounds work and how they should be edited, shaped, layered, mixed and delivered.

Can I edit the results or work on only one shot? +

Yes. Audorama creates an editable starting point rather than a fixed result. Review shot boundaries, change descriptions, keep or reject proposals, correct event and footstep timing, replace sounds and reshape the mix. Classic Analysis, Visual Events and Footsteps can also be run only on the shots that need attention.

Can Audorama fit into my existing post-production workflow? +

Yes. Audorama is designed to work alongside established production environments. It imports picture, audio, AAF and XML; hosts Audio Unit and VST3 effects and instruments; supports stereo and 5.1 mixing with programme-loudness measurement; and exports audio, picture with sound, AAF, Final Cut XML, broadcast WAV, MIDI and portable project material for handoff.

Does Audorama charge for picture processing? +

No. Core picture analysis and processing happen locally and do not use processing credits or incur per-minute processing charges.

Can I try Audorama for free? +

Yes. Audorama has a free Base version with no time limit, and a 14-day Trial provides access to the Professional feature set. Creator and Professional plans are available when you need longer projects, larger libraries, more tracks or broader studio capabilities.

Which computers does Audorama support? +

Audorama supports macOS 13 or later on Apple-silicon Macs with an M1 chip or newer. We recommend at least 16 GB of RAM and 20+ GB of free storage. Windows support is in active development.

Will Audorama offer a perpetual license? +

Yes. A perpetual-license option is coming soon to Audorama. Availability and pricing will be announced when it is ready.

Do you offer team, student, or NFR licenses? +

Yes. Special options are available for teams, educational users and NFR licenses. Contact sales@auralithic.com to discuss the right arrangement.

Audorama crashed—what should I do? +

Contact support@auralithic.com with your macOS version, Mac model and memory, the steps that led to the crash, and any error message or crash report. That information helps the team reproduce and resolve the issue quickly.
