PRODUCING A SOUNDTRACK FOR MOVING PICTURE SEQUENCES

Apparatus for dubbing a film from a source language to a target language includes a replay device (1) which replays a film and a control unit (6) which generates an acoustic model of the scene. A dubbing soundtrack on the replay device (1) is fed via a line (2) to an acoustic processor (3). The acoustic processor (3) processes the dubbed soundtrack under the control of the control unit (6) to produce a dubbed soundtrack which is modified to take into account the acoustic environment of the scene. This soundtrack may be recorded on a recording device (5).The application further discloses the generation of soundtracks for computer generated scenes taking into account the virtual acoustic environment.
