Topic: Ambient videos while music playing

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Ok I want to be able to do something like what windows media has while music is playing, that ambient that changes to the beat and changes designs with the music and mood ? Can this be done ??

you tried sonique yet, you'll pick it up from downloads > plugins > video effects you need the official one, i think it has about 72 in it, once installed go through them one buy one as there is some real duff ones in the pack.

if you get stuck on the install just go to my blog page and there is a couple of tutorials there on how to do it. if need be, just ask and i'll post them here for you.
 
Ha,ha.that was my exact discription of what esentially is called "SONIQUE" the plugin is free on the plugin Download Page,GO GET IT!! (download,IMPORTANT! open(unzip) the winrar file by selecting "OPEN",not save,(I coulnt do it for a while until i learned that) ,if u download to a external folder,the copy& paste into VDJ's Plugin/video folder and install..any problems ,get back with us..good luck (by the way theres 72 effects in that folder,can use one OR all in SLIDESHOW MODE so its pretty cool !
 
Nice. I have been looking for something like this for a while also.
 
Do i copy the file or do i load each into the video folder ?
 
Yeah, thats what I'm having to do.
 
I figured it out, but it doesn't flicker to the beat like I want. Or is there a way to do that too ???
 
Cant figure out clipbank either grrrrrr
 
It really doesnt move to the beat, but it is the closest thing I have found.
 
wonder if windows medias plugin would work ???
 
soundspectrums gforce would be cool it it would work on VDJ
 
Just cheched out G-Force. That would be cool if some how it could be implemented in vdj.
 
Well I did say check out my blog if you had problems, but if Mohammed won't go to the mountain...

How to install Soniques


After downloading and installing, open VDJ, go into config > choose video tab > go down to the bottom right drop down window and select sonique, to the left make sure you tick the box, come out of config and select effects > select video tab > select sonique > select/click on activate > select open > this is where you go to where you have your sonique folder, now open the folder and double click on a file, this will now run your sonique effects. you can now play with the two sliders for the type of effect you want. slide show delay will give you how long each effect will run for and the transparency will let you fade the soniques over other effects like a video, show logo etc...

N.B If you have the time go through your individual soniques and delete the crappy ones, saves getting them up on the screen.

Or watch this




hope they help, if your still stuck pm me.
 
I thought of that..but heard nothing as far as an option.now the soniques ARE reacting too sound.Just STOP the music and you'll see.certain "patterns" "lay low" until the music starts again.Also theres the Spectrum (kind of like a Graphic EQ) in one of those that shows diferent frequencies.But like Tayla mentioned some of the Algorithyms are not so good Plus they use up alot of CPU & memory ,so you need to go thru them and check. the clipbank? load clips (if u got em, if not theres stuff on youtubes you can edit ) into each "space" by hovering the cursor over the loading "SQUARE", right click, choose load,search for the clips in your folders and choose! really straight forward...
 
HA,Ha... Tayla! you beat me to the punch TWICE!! (By just seconds! mind you.) nice!..you suppose we're devoloping a Psychic connection?...;-)
