Resolume Forum

I was thinking about beat visualization to keep him on Resolume's layer.
Is that possible to get something like Winamp's basic feature in our vj software?

You don't want the frequency but the beat visualized, right? The I would animate a "beatViz"–clip with AfterEffects or similar, import it to Avenue and set the timeline parameter to BPM–sync.

Tschoepler - Of course we can do this. But it's not what i was thinking about.
Real-time frequency or beat visualisator can be very powerful tool in our vj performance.
Just imagine how many new possibilities it opens for you.

Developing tool like that for Resolume it's difficult technical issue?

I don't really see the advantage. Partly because you forgot to explain how this visualizer's features should look like(?). I had a closer look on Winamp and this is far from being a beat-visualizer. It's just a gain indicator. And that said you can set up a clip as I said before and set its timeline to be reactive to the whole audio stream (set the in and out points to include the whole spectrum of the stream).
Back to your question: writing an FFGL plugin for Avenue is difficult in any case. I don't have any clue regarding FFGL so I can't help. Still, doing this with an effect, you would have to rely on the presets that the author decides to include. With a rendered clip you got all possibilities.

Maybe you were talking about the spectrum analyzer on the far left of Winamp's GUI? If that's the case, sorry for talking about the wrong thing and still it is difficult to write a source effect that does the trick. On Mac it's pretty straight forward by using Quartz Composer. I don't know if you can do this with Flash.

hope that helps
