Magic Music Visuals

I did this a while back. You can get close to that effect, by creating a Landscape in Blender or other 3D software. Then send the 3D Landscape to duplicates of Translate-Scale, adjusting the Z Translate and Y Scale parameters, to make the 3D model feel it's one continuous object and connecting them ...

Try renaming your .png or jpg file if it has any spaces in it. If your file name is like this "my sphere" try renaming it to "mysphere". If you can export out to a collada dae file, the solid color should look right. You could also try editing the .mtl file in a text editor for t...

Thanks Sadler

Hi there,

Is there a way to make the starfield move outwards. I want to attach an object to the starfield one coming towards, and one going the other way.

thanks

Hi Eric,

Yeah, my bad I'd forgotten how the ramp actually works! had to find a previous project where the object was scrolling smoothly. I had one object and about 7 translate modules off-setted slightly on the z axis, then one translate module connected to them for the ramp. working all fine now!

Hi Eric,

Putting 'Scale' and another 'Peak' last in the chain of parameters seems to work!

Altering anything else before that just messes up the 3D.object placement alignment.

I can take down the example Youtube video now, seeing it served it's purpose!

Hi Eric, I was hoping for a speed parameter after the ramp, so as to control the motion of the forward movement, like in the starfield. Using the ramp values to slow things down looks visually to me, too jerky and it loses that momentum of going forwarding. I did look at the peak value, if you're su...

Hi Eric, Sorry, if i got the name of what I was describing wrong. I assumed they were called 'modifiers' after looking in the help file to see what each one does. I can reduce the ramp value down, but then the illusion that I was after is gone. By leaving the ramp value as it is, and having another ...

Hi Eric, Would it be possible to add a Speed Modifier in the modules? Like the one that's in the Starfield! I've been looking and can't seem to find something to control the speed of this effect I am working on, unless I've overlooked a modifier that can do it. I am using the ramp modifier for this ...

Okay artnik! I get your point, adding noise doesn't help!

Here are some examples from Particle Illusion! Some look okay, whilst others don't. Not my video BTW

Hi Eric, I do get clear videos exporting from Magic! :). But depending what image/content I put in Magic, then apply some affects the banding colour separation will occur. It's not the fault of Magic! it's a GREAT piece of software! I'm getting some excellent results from the presets I'm creating! I...

Ah! Okay

I did do a quick experiment, adding a little 'Bad TV' noise. It did improve the the pixelation when played back on my Laptop. Most probably experiment some more, rendering out a normal movie and another with noise, then combining the two.

Hi Eric, I came across this video a while back, and saw the discussion about 'YouTube Crunching the video'. Would adding noise/dither help?. Could a module specifically designed to do that job be of any use! Just wondering and putting this thought on the forum! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWAp7E...

I had issues with my Laptop playing back HD Youtube videos, fan spinning like mad! after seeing an Amazon firestick TV stick in action. I boughtt a NowTV stick. I played back some of the high quality videos through my NowTV stick, via the YouTube app, and the quality is crisp! @Eric, even the Magic ...

Thanks Eric :). Hmm yeah I see what you mean. I don't use Magic Music Visuals for live sessions, only for creating videos, and at the minute designing presets for when the time comes to use them in full Music Videos....for social media. It would be good to see how a Instagram preset in Magic Music V...

Hi Eric,

Would it be possible to add Instagram aspect ratio's in the Graphic Resolution presets? Or does it not matter anymore!

when I'm creating/designing a new pattern module. I sometimes duplicate them, with some changes, and save as a separate project. I've accumulated quite a few, with the aim of adding them in a new video project when needed. They can build up in the recent projects list. Would be nice to clear them, a...

Hi Eric,

Would it be possible to add a 'clear recent projects' tab?

Nice updates BTW. I especially like the - New Scale parameter for all the Media modules!

Auto Advanced Start Time

The automatic time feature is still useful when adjustments are needed for a whole playlist when exporting video. Only suggesting if it's possible to turn off that feature when creating/editing a playlist.

Thanks Eric!!

Thanks Eric, I will try the folder method. :D Auto Advanced Start Time In the first screenshot when I change the time of the scene 'Verse' for example, the second screenshot all the timings below that scene have been automatically changed. I like to use a few scenes as 'Key Frames' when I do a rough...

Ah! Okay, Thanks Eric! Because sometimes a few scenes are related to each other, and colouring coding would help knowing which ones belong to each other, and which ones are required for the playlist. also Is there a way to turn off the automatic timing in the playlist? when changing the time for a s...

Hi Eric,

Would it be possible to add a feature to colour code the scene tabs?

no, haven't seen that before. Okay thanks!

Sorry to intervene on your post smhopton, just having a look at the screenshot that sadler posted. I've never come across the VIDEO HEIGHTFIELD+ module in Magic Visualiser. I have the performer edition and latest version. Can you tell me where it should be. Thanks!! Thanks BTW sadler for replying on...

Hi Sadler, Thanks for your reply. I don't understand what you mean as there's a lot going on in that demo. The inbuilt spectrum analyser or waveform has the button option to change shape. So I thought instead of having bars, a simple ball or dot shape, could act as particles for one instance, and no...

Hi Eric,

I was looking for a GLSL particle shader, and came across this on Shadertoy. https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Xd3GRX

I'm wondering if the inbuilt spectrum visualizer can be turned into a dot/ball.

Thanks

Trevor

Thanks for the link artnik! my laptop isn't that powerful and I could hear the fan and cpu overworking when I clicked on both links. glad you can see where I was coming from with the Z parameter request. It would have meant I could move the bump towards me and not just being at one end. I do have ot...

ok will set it to public for a short time! surprised the link doesn't work after you logged into youtube

I've set this sample youtube video to private. let me know if you're having difficulty viewing it and I will change the settings to public. I won't have this up for long....

Hi artnik, I have been experimenting with the ISF modules. I would have to show you an example to what I mean by adding a Z parameter. At the minute I’m cleaning up my ‘project templates’, after Eric solved my problem. Most likely upload a sample to youtube with a simple beat or somebody else’s trac...

Thanks Eric, the 'Folder View' window has solved the problem. I haven't used that properly yet, but will do now!

Hi Eric :), Thanks for repyling back to me! :) I see, you can't modify the ISF modules by Vidvox in MAGIC. :( There is a work around, but it just means using up cpu by adding another 3D model or shader! A Z parameter would mean I could move the bump anywhere on one module! Ah! I just noticed the upl...

Hi Eric, I am testing out the beta version 2.01 and have no issues, all good, excellent!. My favourite ISF generator is the Bump Distortion! Would it be possible to have a Z parameter included? Also is it possible to delete entries in the playlist, not the main playlist. I took a screenshot, but can...
