Obviously, before getting to this point, Studio One needs to support multiple video tracks in the timeline, but that's a request many of us have already expressed, so I'll brush on past that. Allow me to explain what it is I'm looking for and why I need it... and why so many other people would move to Studio One as their DAW of choice if this feature existed.

I make something called virtual choirs, bands, and orchestras. If you don't know what that is by now, imagine a huge group of musicians performing their part in an ensemble, but on their own. They send me their videos, I then mix them into one big recording, put it into a 3D space, and create a product for the Internet to enjoy. This description is very diluted, but you get the point.

Now, imagine you have to do a mix of 500 musicians in Studio One--after normalizing video files into consistent audio files--then after that, you ALSO have to align those same 500 video tracks a second time in separate software, like Premiere Pro. The results won't be perfect because they won't contain the timing changes you made to each track in Studio One. However, what if we could totally bypass having to use a second program and save a ton of time doing it all in Studio One?

Imagine if you could drop videos into Studio One, or attach them to a normalized audio file (which by the way, batch processing videos into audio files would be super helpful in the batch processor) and timing adjustments in Melodyne would warp the playback speed of the video appropriately. Then each of these video files could be batch processed from the timeline into new video files.

If this was a feature available in Studio One, I guarantee the virtual music community would throw their money at you. During these COVID times, virtual ensembles have multiplied through the roof. There are over 1000 members in the virtual music forum I started a few months ago that would love something like this.
