VoCo for Experimental Film

Question

Hey all, this will be my first post here, hello!

I have done some searches on the VoCo project that Adobe showed a few years ago but cannot find a lot of updates. It seems like most everything I have found looks to point to the direction that the project is not set for inclusion in any Adobe products any time soon which is a shame, but understandable as to why it might not be included considering the incredible power that is wields.

I am an artist that is working on an experimental film that the VoCo project/process seems absolutely perfect for. Rather than to use it to recreate another humans voice in the sense of mimicry, I want to use it in an experimental way (that I can talk further about if you all are at all interested). I am curious if there is any good avenue for connecting with the staff at Adobe to see if there is a way for me to use the project? Or to at the very least start a dialog with someone to explain why I see it as a great fit for what I am doing. I would love to learn more and to see if what I am thinking about is even possible in the first place.

Thanks all! Sorry to bother with more calamity regarding VoCo -- just very excited about how well I think it may fit with the work that I am currently in the process of making.

Looking forward to reading responses and hopefully building a connection with the Adobe staff --

My understanding is that Adobe's Legal dept is seriously unhappy about the potential consequences of letting anything like VoCo out of the door. If anybody's going to get sued, they'd rather it was somebody else...[Mod comment] I'm of the opinion that we don't need another 'me too' thread about this, as strictly speaking it has nothing to do with Audition. There are already sufficient threads about a product that doesn't exist, so if it starts happening here I will lock this one, and direct others to the thread that ryclark has provided a link to, which will remain open; it contains the largest set of comments.

A rather old and long thread about VoCo hereBeta Testing #VoCo that you may have seen. Doesn't make for very encouraging reading I'm afraid. There are a couple of comments from Adobe staff in amongst all the rest of the requests to try out VoCo.
