Over the past few days, I've been working on a new version of my music video generator thing.

-=-=-

It's nothing too complicated, right now, but I've been working tirelessly on the quality of the spectrum analysis, and now that it seems to be functioning to a decent enough set of capabilities, I'm now moving on to adding a few generators.



Alongside each generator are a bunch of settings, and also a few presets per generator. This gives MUCH more variety in the output of the effects, and should help my ALChoon videos have a little less monotony when I can't be bothered to make a "proper" animation for that week's choon.



Currently the engine only ever runs at 1920x1080. I'll have to add some settings to the thing to let it generate at lower resolutions for folk with lesser hardware, and it might also be nice to add a couple of different ratios for those YouTube Shorts or TikTok videos, too.



What I also want to do is add some sort of lyric engine into the mix, whereby I can paste all the lyrics into a single box, then tap keys when the words should appear. I think that'll probably be the easiest way to handle that. But that requires GUI work, and who can be bothered with that!?!?

You can Play with VidGen2 here.

How To
1. Load a song using the input box on the top left. (As with all my tools, this is 100% in the browser, and nothing is sent to the server)

2. Pick a Generator from the icons. At time of writing there's only 3 to choose from, though the variety you can get out of them is quite interesting.

3. Twiddle the settings, or alternatively select a preset from the little drop down box.

Hold the mouse down on the timeline to see the video from that point, or hit the Capture button to capture the entire video. It definitely needs a play button, though, as the "mouse down" bit isn't working on iOS for some reason. (and, yes, I added touches!!!)
