It is true that on a shoot, the use of the Tentacle Set is very easy and
efficient.
On the other hand, it is extremely common that the synchronization of
video and audio rushes is carried out by an image editor or within a
production company. As a sound engineer I never recover the video
rushes, and so it's never me, the sound engineer, who does this
synchronization.
The fact that the Tentacle Sync Studio software requires a limited
license (or the presence of a tentacle set plugged into a USB port) to
function, no image editor or production acquires this license because
they do not need the Tentacle Set in their workflow.
Thus, in a professional workflow, nobody takes advantage of this
synchronization software, video editors use the functions built into
Avid, FCPX or Premiere to synchronize.

I say it very clearly, the Tentacle sync Studio licensing policy is
ineffective, unnecessary, stupid.

How is their commercial policy to give this software away for free?
This would not at all preclude the need for sound engineers or freelance
videographers to purchase Tentacle sets.

For example, Sound Device provides free Wave Agent software to manage
metadata of sounds recorded with their recorder. It's smart and it
doesn't prevent having to buy their recorders.

They have already replied that no one else has found fault with this
policy, but I repeat it clearly and with a solid experience now, few
actors of the pro video sector use Tentacle Sync Studio because of this
restriction, so few production companies know the Tentacle brand and
benefit from the advantages it offers.

Thank you

Patrick puts on a good show, but the music is too loud; 'somewhat drowns Patrick out.

I wish these videos would stop using Tentacle Sync Studio, that's Mac only software and some of us either don't have a Mac or don't edit on one. The Windows software seems to do absolutely nothing in terms of embedding File TC or syncing the File TC to audio.
