Atomos has announced an integration with ATOMOSphere and PlanckOne FoleyAI that is said to transform video stored in ATOMOSphere into synchronized, fully editable Foley audio
Developed by Mocha Chai Laboratories, PlanckOne FoleyAI can analyze anything from a single shot or scene to a complete edit. It identifies the actions, materials, and environments shown on screen, then generates synchronized diegetic sounds such as footsteps, fabric movement, and impacts.
Key features
- Analyze video directly from an ATOMOSphere workspace
- Generate synchronized footsteps, fabric, and impact sounds
- Requires no audio stems or reference sound
- Create an editable Foley starting point within hours
- Adjust individual audio layers independently
- Integrates into existing editorial pipelines
Through the new integration, users can send videos from an ATOMOSphere workspace directly to PlanckOne FoleyAI for analysis. The process requires no audio stems or reference sound; PlanckOne FoleyAI requires only the visual information contained in the footage.
PlanckOne FoleyAI is claimed to deliver a synchronized starting point within hours, reducing a process that might otherwise require weeks of preparation and scheduled Foley stage time. The generated audio is separated into independent, fully editable layers, including footsteps, fabric, and impacts.
“Foley is a vital part of creating a believable and immersive soundtrack, but it can also be one of the most time-consuming stages of post-production. Integrating PlanckOne FoleyAI with ATOMOSphere gives filmmakers and sound designers an intelligent starting point much earlier in the process, while keeping creative decisions firmly in the hands of the people shaping the final mix.”
Peter Barber, CEO of Atomos
According to Atomos, the cadence, weight, and texture of individual layers can be adjusted without affecting the rest of the mix.
PlanckOne FoleyAI is built using open-source large language models and trained using Mocha Chai Laboratories’ in-house sound library and real-world post-production data. It is designed to integrate directly into established editorial pipelines.
Availability
PlanckOne FoleyAI is currently in beta. A localized native version and subscription service are scheduled to launch soon, but there is no indication about pricing or whether it will be part of the premium ATOMOSphere subscription.
