Split a film's soundtrack (dialogue / music / effects)
doseedo_split_soundtrackSPLIT A FILM'S SOUNDTRACK (dialogue / music / effects — "DME" — separation): the film's own audio into three stems that sum back to it, plus a report of what it holds: whether there is music already, where it plays (spans in seconds) and how much of the film it covers, where the dialogue is (cleaner than VAD on the full mix: a song's singer stays in the music stem), each part's level, and how far the music sits under the lines. Use it before scoring a film that already has music (soundtrack.stems.music.present): to REPLACE that music, lay the dialogue and effects stems under your score with doseedo_score_to_picture (production_audio:"drop", tracks role "dialogue" / "effects"); to REMIX or RE-ORCHESTRATE it, the music stem goes to doseedo_separate_stems / doseedo_transcribe / doseedo_analyze_song; to KEEP it, score where the report shows no music. Input: video_key (the upload doseedo_spot_video read) or video_url; audio_key / audio_url for a soundtrack already on its own. One reel per call (≤ 30 min). The split is good, not perfect: the dialogue comes out clean, while some of the old music (its percussion most) reads as effects — about −10 dB of it stays in the dialogue + effects bed, which the new score masks. Async: job_id → doseedo_wait_task (about a third of the soundtrack's length: a 3-min scene ≈ 1 min, a 20-min reel ≈ 6 min). Cancel: the plane has no stop for a running split — it runs to completion (credits spent), the job ends as canceled and its output is discarded. Only a job still queued at the plane is refunded by the plane's own failure refund.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | Optional: a name for this job's files, e.g. "rainy-loop-3". Every file it returns downloads as <name>_<part>.<ext> (rainy-loop-3_Celesta.wav, rainy-loop-3_rough-mix.wav; one take: rainy-loop-3.wav), so the user can find them. Give each job its own name (a second take: "rainy-loop-3b"). Default: doseedo-<last 6 characters of the job id>. | |
| audio_key | No | An ingest key of the soundtrack on its own (WAV/FLAC/MP3/M4A), instead of the film. | |
| audio_url | No | https URL of the soundtrack on its own, instead of the film. | |
| video_key | No | R2 ingest key of the film (the same upload doseedo_spot_video read; starts with "ingest/"). | |
| video_url | No | https URL of the film, as an alternative to video_key (fetched through the URL up to 256 MB; upload a bigger film). | |
| idempotency_key | No | Optional. Any unique string for THIS request (e.g. a UUID). Re-sending the same call with the same key after a timeout returns the same job instead of starting a second one. |
