Video effects controlled by music / tempo?

Post by tavasti »

I would like to have video luminosity (and maybe saturation) to react on music tempo. And sure, possibly also some other similar effects. Is there some software for making such? I don't need real-time reaction, it is ok to do with batch-processing. Anc because music is self-made, it would be perfectly ok to define tempo, and have 'cuts' on given places. But not willing to do all those by hand, for example in kdenlive it would mean adding 3 keyframes to effect per one 'dip': normal before peak, peak, and back to normal.

Visualization software lebiniou would be one possibility, but it is not handling video with real colors, but instead working in 256 color space, and even there not 'normal colors' but mapping them to something else. And I think it does not have suitable plugin, but sure that is minor problem, I could code such :-)

Recently discovered... they are in "On Master" effect list, there are few analyzer then Lightshow and Dance. Sadly a very limited choice.

Other potentially interesting thing, sound node for Blender https://github.com/negdo/Sound_Nodes

That Sound_nodes (at least free version) did not work for me when I tested it, but today found out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8RHRNZQEuE

Yeah, familiar with them, specially with lebiniou, even coded some stuff for it :-) There has been some discussion about lebiniou earlier viewtopic.php?t=19267

With lebiniou it is possible to process video, but it is not something 'subtle', colors are replaced fully and possibilities to control effects are limited. And because it is targeted for live performances, it does not have timeline editor where you can time your effects, etc. Possibilities are using static timings (change to next set of effects after X seconds) or control them live. And changing them live, accuracy is limited by operator, and I am not at my best on such.
Lebiniou performance is limited by cpu (mostly single thread), so to run it live you either take hit in framerate or have to use low resolution. And because main developer got his final rest, most likely there won't be any major changes to it (unless someone adopts it).

ProjectM just generates its own visuals, not giving possibility to process video input.

I used a plugin in Blender that makes things move to the sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSzceg_ ... nnel=Gps4L

Which plugin?

It looks like DaVinci Resolve might be the thing I've been looking for. Unfortunately could not run that yet in my linux system (devuan) because it needs libsystemd0, and that causes conflict in my system. I have seen some libsystemd0 depency earlier computer, related to lebiniou build depencies. Then I did some dummy package and everything worked, maybe same thing works this time.

I did test video with DaVinci in windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kbpf5dbZqE

I wonder if Ducky 3D has removed some of his older tutorial vids.
It was his vids mostly that got me started.

The thing I do remember, bake sound to F curve, and then you select your song.

I lost the blender file, so I cant look it up anymore.

Its not something extra you have to download.
