A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions for carrying out a process of assembling performance first acting performance and a second acting performance, the process comprising:
- assembling a first acting performance with a second acting performance;
- wherein, the assembling includes
- assigning a first timing segment from a script to contain the first acting performance and the second acting performance, each of which is recorded remote from the other, the first timing segment configured with a first timeline to align a location and a duration of the data files in the first timing segment for the assembling;
- assigning the first acting performance as a first digital pace-setter to the first timing segment, the first digital pace-setter having a fixed position and a fixed duration on the first timeline, the fixed position configured to express a desired effect from the first acting performance and the second acting performance in the first timing segment, and the fixed duration configured to contain the first acting performance and the second acting performance;
- wherein, a start of the first digital pace-setter is bounded on the timeline by a fixed start tag, a stop of the first digital pace-setter is bounded by a fixed stop tag, and a duration of the first digital pace-setter does not exceed the duration of the first timing segment;
- calibrating the first digital pace-setter to the second acting performance to align the acting performances for the assembly, the calibrating including
- assigning a start pacing index on the first digital pace setter that correlates with a start pacing index on the second acting performance;
- assigning a stop pacing index on the first digital pace setter that correlates with a stop pacing index on the second acting performance within the first timing segment;
- assigning a start pacing index on the first digital pace setter that correlates with a start pacing index on the second acting performance;
- assigning a stop pacing index on the first digital pace setter that correlates with a stop pacing index on the second acting performance within the first timing segment;
- aligning the second acting performance with the first digital pace-setter, the aligning including fixing the position of the start pacing index of the second acting performance at the correlating start pacing index on the first digital pace-setter, measuring a distance on the first timeline between the position of the stop pacing index of the second acting performance and the position of the correlating stop pacing index on the first digital pace-setter and, when the distance exceeds a tolerable time limit, moving the stop pacing index on the second acting performance to align with the position of the stop pacing index of the first digital pace-setter;
- and
- and
- displaying the first acting performance with the second acting performance after the assembling.
