💡 SETUP

Required Files:

music/ (folder for all song files, .wav only, no spaces in the name)

titles/ (input videos that are LONG - only for long intro /outro songs, .mp4 only)

videos/ (all other input videos, .mp4 only)

⚫ INSTALL DEPENDENCIES FROM A CONDA ENVIRONMENT (strongly reccommended)

make and activate new conda environment

conda create -n [myEnv] conda activate [myEnv]

navigate to the MusicVideoGenerator folder then run

conda install --file Requirements.txt pip install -r Requirements2.txt

🟢 USEAGE:

python MusicVideoGenerator.py -songName [song.wav] -bpm [int] --output [outputPrefix] --dynamic [True/False]

🛑 FAQS:

What does it do?

• This program cleverly assembles your previously downloaded scaffold videos into a tempo synced music video based on a provided input song and bpm

How does it do it?

1. Analyses a .wav file (located in music/)
2. Generates 3 seperate tempo and dynamically synced music videos out of random .mp4 videos located in videos/
3. Combines them through the use of overlay FX into one video located in output/
4. Applies chroma shifting to the final product to make the videos bleed into eachother for contrast.

What does "dyamically synced" mean?

• Louder sections of your input song have a higher chance of faster / more intense visuals and vice versa.

What does it not do?

• Generate music videos from thin air.

Where can I find sample videos to use?

There are also a small selection of videos in this repo to allow you to test the program. These are from pexels.

What is the ouput format?

• Video is 720p, audio is 256kps AAC

How fast is my song? What is my songs BPM?

Richard, this thing is so slow it's making my head spin. I could do it way faster in Generic X movie editing software!

• Look, fair. My counter to that is you can leave and eat a sandwhich, call a loved one etc rather than have to sit through the the video editing process.
• You may have luck speeding it up by using smaller pool of scaffold videos, or using the --dynamic False flag if you only need tempo synced visuals.
• My runtimes are generally ~60 - 70 minutes per super loud song (16gb RAM). More RAM allows more videos to be loaded into memory and speeds up the process significantly. I acknowlege that this is nowhere near optimal performance, this is my first proper project. I am more than happy to collaborate with this project going forward.

I've used this to make videos that now have billions of hits, how can I credit you?

• A public link to this repo in the description would be appreciated :)

I run a company looking for a programmer like you, would you be interested in a position?
