I’ve noted that there is a small but loyal base of users that use Todour, but quite many download, try once and then never come back. Is it to difficult to use? Or is it just not what those users were expecting? Anyhow, now there is a video showing it in action to both help understand what it is and also understand how it can be used. Hope it is of value.
One thing that every respectable game on the Google Play Store seems to have is a video. Now, as Fallur is a very respectable game, I of course had to make one as well.

I took a part of the song No one knows (it’s a part of the game), shot some footage of me playing and massaged it a bit in iMovie to come up with this result.
Now the game is even more respectable I guess 🙂
Much to my surprise, I have come to realise that YouTube is used by many for music listening. That’s too bad, as I don’t know much about making videos.
For a few songs, i used iMovie to cut together some footage and text. See for example From the bottle below
But making these was a bit tedious, especially when it’s the music and not the video that interests me.
So, after some surfing, I ended up with this little script using ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i "The Stage (v1.01).mp3" -i ../cover.jpg -filter_complex "nullsrc=size=1280x768 [base]; [1:v] setpts=PTS-STARTPTS ,scale=768x768 [cover]; [0:a] showwaves=s=512x768:mode=cline [sw]; [base][sw]overlay=x=768 [tmp1]; [tmp1][cover]overlay=x=0 [out]" -map "[out]" -map a:0 -c:v libx264 -shortest -crf 18 -c:a copy "The Stage (v1.01).mkv"
There are more possibilities for using ffmpeg and generating music visualisation, but I found these two to be the simplest to use. This is perfect for us nerdy musicians that want to be able to script all boring stuff out of our lives 🙂
(note that the script does not transcode the music, it leaves it as is = good thing)
Got this simple idea one day on my way to work. How about just shooting a video with the phone and sing along to a song? Said and done, I put my Xperia Z2 on the dashboard and started filming.
Simple enough, and I guess it’s better than my normal music videos as there is actually a video in it 🙂
Enjoy
You can see all my videos on my youtube channel (just don’t expect to much movement)
