Dancing Bars with Music and Effects

[Jeremy Rochefort]

Can do in Vegas. Haven’t done this myself but two video tracks should do the trick – or more depending on the amount of sliders you would want to animate, for example, or simulate a graphic equaliser.

Top track(s) would have your slider image(s) to which you would apply key frames as the music changes to move your slider up and down.

The video track below would containing the static image of your equaliser. Just remember that your slider(s) images would have to be done in a PNG format or similar using a program that supports these kind of images – eg. Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro

Good luck

so you mean i should have to create Equalizer my self and move slides up and down my self but in some videos the use diffrent effects instead using of bar equlizer they use digitle equlizer (LINE) that change the shape or broke or move up and down with music and when music slow it goes slow as a sample you can see in winamp

Thanks for your Help

A possible way is to use media player to play the audio – MP has a range of different bars, wavy lines etc which respond to the audio. With a screen recorder such as Camtasia, this couls be recorded and added to the timeline.

Peter? I’m not5 sure Camtasia will capture Windows Media Player output? I cold be very wrong. However, depending on the final quality you ARE after, a quick ‘n funky way is to actually video a screen directly to camera – yeah? PLUS having the audio being captured simultaneously with this method you will also have a “synch” when you get to the timeline.

Grazie

Good point Grazie – I’m a bit vague on these screen record/overlay matters – but as you say, videoing preferably an LCD screen to avoid flickers could yield good results.

Also, depending on your video card, you can have the display part of Windows Media Player go to your secondary monitor. My Matrox video card can send the video signal to my secondary monitor out a SVideo port on the card, which I can plug into my Camcorder, and voila, nice recordings.

This depends on your video card though.
