NORTHRIDGE,
CA (Dec. 19, 2000) -- Sonic Desktop Software today announced a bundling
agreement with Adobe Systems, Inc., where Sonic Desktop's SmartSound Quicktracks
software, a specially-designed plug-in offering custom length royalty-free
soundtracks, will be included in Adobe's newly announced Adobe Premiere
6.0 software package.SmartSound's
focus on the soundtrack creation process enables video editors, multimedia
authors and Web site creators to author music and audio for their projects
quickly and efficiently. By navigating five simple, click-thru screens,
the user can select a type of music, mood, length and arrangement to fit
their visual images. SmartSound then generates up to 10 soundtrack variations
based on those choices.
"SmartSound
Quicktracks is a multimedia content creator's dream come true," said
Dave Trescot, group product manager, Dynamic Media at Adobe Systems,
Incorporated. "It comfortably and reliably takes care of the audio
so the user can focus on the visual side of the project."

bundling agreement, with the software suites having been partnered in
version 4.2 of Premiere for Windows.
"SmartSound
has long been the leading choice of Adobe Premiere users for soundtrack
creation. Now with this bundle they get an integrated package that puts
the process at their fingertips," said Sonic Desktop CEO Kevin
Klingler. "The technology in Premiere includes automated hyperlinks
that allow users to browse and find additional music and sound for their
projects, giving them nearly unlimited choices and flexibility in their
audio creation process."
