Magic Music Visuals

Right now when I have to blend 4 images I have to use 3 "Blend" modules because it only accepts 2 inputs. With more images (or sources in general) a scene gets very crowded. It would be much more convenient if I could connect all 4 (or more) images to one single "Blend" module, a...

Both music and the animation work well for me.
And it got lasers, that's a big plus

skarabee wrote:...Cubase and Magic...

My preferred choices as well!

Graphically nothing spectacular (I think flashy lasers and lots of scene changes don't work well for relaxing :lol: ), but this genre of music needs some love, too. Some of them are a bit older, but maybe they are (in one way or another) inspirational for other chillout-lovers. As always, best viewe...

I thought I'd add a channel trailer to my YouTube channel, and Magic was of course my first choice for the visuals.
As always, no video editing software involved, it's all Magic

Best viewed over at YouTube in HD to see all those little details:

A strange flower grown in my Magic garden. I'm normally not a big fan of kaleidoscope effects because they are usually a bit hectic/nervous and get boring after a while. Yours is very different, smooth with interesting movements and transitions, and it goes well with your music. I'll surely have a ...

Since my last trance video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6xZS6IAeGw) I'm having more and more fun experimenting with laser-like visuals. Probably memories from childhood or so... The setup is in some kind of future club/disco, the lasers are either controlled by frequency or loudness, sometimes ...

[...]I am sending USB audio out from a Pioneer DJM-900NXS ... Is there some sort of limiter/compressor? Actually since you're using external hardware anyway I'd use a cheap external compressor/limiter, your Pioneer DJM-900NXS has Send/Return connections to plug that in. Magic Video doesn't care abo...

My DAW has a nice feature: "Save as new version" which avoids using "Save as..." and change the filename by hand. It works like: Original: "filename.xyz" First "Save as new version": "filename -01 .xyz" Second: "filename -02 .xyz" Third: &q...

Water Lilies - Version 01 I like the subtle manipulations you did on the video, it's beautiful and quite relaxing to watch. And, I also like your piano composition, perfectly matches the mood of the video. BTW, you're not related to this Stockhausen? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlheinz_Stockhau...

Psytrance with a twist: the second half is (almost) the first half played backwards. Shows there's not so much unique information in this kind of music. If you're from a parallel universe where the time runs backward: welcome to my weird world :-) Lots of newly created visuals. Coding GLSL shaders d...

Some pseudo-code for my "Hold" function: if (Current_Time - Hold_Time > Old_Time) { Old_Time := Current_Time; x_old := x; } else { x := x_old; } Hold_Time could be dynamically computed in a global, but I see no way to remember Old_Time. Of course this wouldn't be necessary if the Hold para...

Eric wrote:It doesn't make sense for there to be variables that last more than one frame, because every frame is its own context and would keep overwriting anything you assigned more than one frame ago.

That's where writable globals would help, I could save context-information as long as I need it.

Variables may be practically unwritable, but you can assign values. For example, this will 'compile' in an expression:[...] Aaah...I've tried float, double and whatnot...that does the job. Thanks a lot What application do you have in mind? There is probably a workaround. A dynamic "Hold" ...

I want to save previous values of modules for later use/comparisons, but so far without success: - globals seem to be "read-only" from within a 'normal' module. - the only internal variables I know of are "x" and "y". Abusing y to save a x-value fails for obvious reason...

I think it's perfectly executed

Maybe (but just a little maybe) I would have grouped the balls according to the played instrument and the notes/frequencies played (what you partly already did) to make it easier to follow what's going on, but that's just my personal preference...

I know the AudioToImage module, but wasn't aware that the "Waveform" output is pretty much what I need. The "ToImage" part of its name was misleading me. For whatever reasons in my tests I always had "Spectrum" checked as well, and of course the result was always differ...

I would have tried to make the transition from skull to post-apocalypse more believable, contiguous, connected. I agree. But, to be honest, I didn't find a better solution (which I'm capable to implement with Magic. I'm still a beginner). The tunnel was interesting but a bit odd under the street an...

ISF shaders in general know audio and audioFFT inputs which allow very sophisticated audio visualizations. The problem is that Magic does not offer any module which outputs audio. I think adding a media module "Audio" (similar to the "Image" module") which provides an audio ...

It would be nice to have the option to "softly" change/blend from one input to the next selected one, similar to what's offered for playlists already. I've heard ( ;) ) that adding new transitions to the playlists and the MultiMix are on Eric's ToDo-list anyway, so adding this to the Input...

A bit louder than my usual music, set-up in some kind of post-apocalyptic downtown environment. Everything visualized with Magic Music, no video editing software was involved in the process. So far my most time-consuming visualization with lots of little details and blinkenlights. Learned (again) a ...

It's a bit long and maybe :D not the latest music style, but the perfect test bed for some GLSL-shaders I've ported over from Shadertoy. I have added tons of inputs for textures, lights, colors, camera paths and field of view and other stuff which I'll explore more if times allows. Best viewed in HD...

Put your graphic on the layer below (the pin on the following module that is below the pin to which LumaKey is connected).

Ah, that's what I did wrong all the time. Thanks a lot for your help, this works perfectly!

Let's say I have a moving graphic from a shader or a video or an animated gif. I would like to show (or blend in) another graphic only in the parts of the video whichare black (or darker as the rest in general). Ideally the level of brightness where this kind of masking should happen should be adjus...

Some more experiments with GLSL-Shaders and using a playlist to make things more interesting. I feel very happy to have invested into Magic MV, it's really good and quite addictive! And being a newb I still know only a fraction of what's possible with it. Feedback and improvement ideas are highly ap...

Just found this because I wanted to create such a feature request myself...

YES, more transitions for the playlist and the multimix module would be great, and the option to plug-in own ISF transitions would be fantastic

Sadler wrote:What do you mean by 'model'?

Unfortunately not what you would hope, 3D-model.
I've used 'model' like in photo-model or dancing-model.

Sorry for the confusion

Early proof of concept of a model dancing to the beat of music. Note that the goal was not 100% accurate moving (which would need excessive video editing for which I'm WAY to lazy) but a generic way to manipulate the moves so I can throw whatever music I like on it and it would still look somehow ac...

Needs to be mixed up a bit more (IMHO) but interesting nonetheless. Is that a 3d object you're using to occlude the the wave effects? Keep up the good work. Sadler Thanks a lot for your feedback, it's much appreciated. With "mixed up" do you mean making it louder or just mix it differentl...

Extract of a song I use for my daily workout.
Not my favorite genre, but a good excuse to play around with Magic again to find some more features.
Endless possibilities and I just own it for a week or so...

Another way to solve the problem: I've switched temporarily from an AMD to a NVIDA graphics card, and the Game(!) version of their latest drivers (they also offer a "Studio" version without some of the features) enable OpenGL even when you use remote desktop via RDP. Exporting a video work...

I just tested it, it (almost) perfectly does what I need.

Thanks a lot

This might be a VERY hard to implement feature, but it would make Magic way more convenient to use. There's a software called FlowStone (formerly known as SynthMaker) which is very similar to Magic, but for audio/DSP stuff, see http://www.dsprobotics.com/ One amazing UI-feature is that you can selec...

Hello, so I have no problems to see the vid, is it online again? Got my account back after writing a complain. But I'm still not happy because there was no explanation WHY it was suspended. Like the visualization very much, fits perfectly to the mood of the music. How you have created the rotation ...

Not bad, my YouTube account was suspended after just 5 hours, so far no feedback why this was done.
So my first impression as a YouTube newbie: not good

I wanted to create something relaxing where you don't have to include an epilepsy warning.

I'm a complete Magic (and YouTube) newbie, so any suggestions for improvement are welcome and appreciated.

Enjoy:

New user, many questions :oops: I am using multiple input tracks (drums, bass, piano) for my visuals, but I want ONLY the mixdown of my complete song in the exported video, not the other individual tracks added on top of it. The closest answer I've found was https://magicmusicvisuals.com/forums/view...

Yep, and I've found the reason for this strange behavior: when I use the PC via remote desktop (RDP), only the Microsoft driver is visible for Magic. When I work directly on the PC (or connected via VNC) the AMD driver is visible and exporting videos works. I guess the RDP server uses some kind of v...

I've just installed the latest GFX-driver for my card, it's a ASUS R9 290 C2 running on a Win8.1 64 box.

Hi all,
like the subject says, no matter what I do File -> Export Movie is greyed/not selectable in my Magic Performer v2.31 64 bit

Could this be a leftover from the previously uninstalled Demo version, and how can I fix this?
