You know how YouTube channels that reupload music do that thing where they take the album cover and then sort of pulse it to the music, perhaps with the band levels displayed around it or something? Basically I want that but with my own digital music library. I don't really want to have to code it up myself either, so I would really appreciate if someone knows of something like this that has already been made. Thanks
You know, the usual things visualizers do. Makes the screen have little waves or patterns based on the volume of different frequencies in the audio. I just want one that puts the track art in the middle of it.
Vlc has some visualizers, in GUI go audio > visualization > Any of the listed For full cmd, you can use something like, Code: vlc --no-video --loop -I rc --audio-visual=goom PLAYLIST_PATH
I've been using those, but none of the ones I've found are particularly decent. I was hoping for one that would use the album art of the media file in it.
If ffmpeg works for you, Code: ffmpeg -y -i AUDIO.mp3 -loop 1 -i BACKGROUND.jpg -filter_complex "[0:a]showwaves=s=1280x180:mode=line:colors=0xb1aad6|0xf2b660|0x315b71,colorkey=0x000000:0.01:0.1,format=yuva420p[v];[1:v][v]overlay=(main_w-overlay_w)/2:(main_h-overlay_h)*3/4:shortest=1,pad="width=ceil(iw/2)*2:height=ceil(ih/2)*2"[outv]" -map "[outv]" -pix_fmt yuv420p -map 0:a -c:a copy -shortest OUTPUT.mp4 Explanation: -loop 1 -i BACKGROUND.jpg acts an infinite video input where every frame is the image showwaves (can be changed for some : s is the size of the waves colors are the hex values for wave output seperated by | overlay change the ratios to change where the wave is located pad is just there to ensure stuff works with odd dimensions This produces a video that is not great when it comes to compression but you can add that to the code or just compress it in another command.
probably easiest and most broad way for customizations might be winamp i think there was even an archive with > 100000 skins and other stuff
Download an app called spectrum. It's a music visualizer that has a lot more collection than vlc. Some others you can try are motionbox music visualizer, renderforest music visualized and magic music visuals. (Haven't personally tried these but heard that they're good.)
