Processing Capabilities. Video Generation
Nov 25th, 2009, 5:07am  
Hi,  I have been searching the web for a program that would create generative video. Processing keeps coming up.

My question is, can processing create 30 fps video output synchronized with audio (many, many tracks)?  Now, I don't care about how long it takes to render each frame. Its more about detail and accuracy than about live performance.

And then finally, can the output be sent to Video (uncompressed) or images (uncompressed) that I can turn into video in another program.

Thanks,

Peter J. Fischel

here's a useful thread where davbol goes into non-realtime analysis of the sound input and then uses the saved data to generate frames:

i also saw something posed on flickr the other day that linked to video and source and which does the same thing (i think). er, here: http://thoughts.jonobr1.com/?p=472

what i normally do is generate a bunch of stills and use something else (mencoder) to stitch them together (so the required framerate isn't really relevant to the processing side, you just need lots of disk)

but if you're after something that already exists and requires no sketch writing by yourself (which re-reading your question you might be) then processing probably isn't the answer.

Thanks!  Seems processing is the answer then.  I am a programmer so I don't have a problem with writing sketch.

Check out Andres Colubri's Library "GSVideo" in the Reference/Libraries/Computer Vision section. It may be a useful library for you.
