Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

Hi kumar,

yes that is pretty much the idea, but i dont see anything you mention, (get some pictures add some music and use the style you mention it) only got these errors.

---------------------------
muSE
---------------------------
Context: muvee-global-effect

[muvee-global-effect], which is [visualMusicDescriptors], doesn't satisfy at least one of the conditions -
- be of type function
- be of type primitive

---------------------------
Abort Retry Ignore
---------------------------

AND......
---------------------------
muSE
---------------------------
Context: muvee-global-effect

Must be defined to a fn(start stop), not a symbol.
It is
visualMusicDescriptors
instead.

"It looks like you want some visual indication of the music characteristics to which the style is performing its edits. We have an effect (that we use for debugging purposes) which overlays some graphic meters that reflect the "loudness", "cut-hints" and "flash-hints" descriptors. (Style URL: http://muvee-style-authoring.googlecode ... escriptor/)."

but this is pretty much the idea, maybe a window reflecting these descriptors in a table associated to the correponding seconds.

Hi kumar,

i uninstall muvee and reinstalled and the problem disappear, excelent this will help to understand the behaviours of the sound,
chosen in a style


Thx again

[kumar]

It is strange that you had to do a reinstall, but my guess it then setup the right library file which contains the definition for visualMusicDescriptors.

Have fun!

I must have missed a step, when I try to save my new image it says the folder is protected, I go to the folder and unclick, but it still says it is protected.

Your account needs to have administrator privileges on your computer in order to modify the contents of the style folders. If you don't, you'll get these access permission errors.

Hello, This may sound stuppid, but how do you edit the graphics? I tryed to make an overlay but when I put it in it was all black.
Thanx!

Hello Again, Forget the last question, I got that figured out, but now I need to make a "title credit video" How do I do this.
Thanx Again!

Your question is a bit ambiguous. If I read it right, do you want to put a video into the title/credits sections? .. or are you asking about how to make a video that you can put into title/credit sections? I'll answer both, but do poke me if I totally missed your point

To put a video into the title/credits section, you can edit your style's data.scm file and tweak

Code: Select all

(title-section ..)

and

Code: Select all

(credits-section ..)

Those sections allow a background video to be specified and the duration of the title and credits sections will automatically adjust to the duration of the background if one is specified.

For an example, you can see the end of the "Cube Twist" style's data.scm. I've reproduced the section here for convenience -

Code: Select all

;-----------------------------------------------------------
;   Title and credits

(title-section
  (audio-clip "cube.mvx" gaindb: -3.0)
  (background
    (video "background00.wmv"))
  (text
    (align 'right 'top)
    (color 255 255 255)
    (fade-out)
    (font "-21,0,0,0,400,0,0,0,0,3,2,1,34,Verdana")
    (layout (0.25 0.10) (0.90 0.80))
    (soft-shadow  dx: 2.0  dy: 2.0  size: 4.0)))

(credits-section
  (audio-clip "cube.mvx" gaindb: -3.0)
  (background
    (video "background00.wmv"))
  (text
    (align 'right 'top)
    (color 255 255 255)
    (fade-in)
    (font "-21,0,0,0,400,0,0,0,0,3,2,1,34,Verdana")
    (layout (0.25 0.10) (0.90 0.80))
    (soft-shadow  dx: 2.0  dy: 2.0  size: 4.0)))


To make video for putting into the title/credits sections, you can use an WMV file with dimensions 480x270. You can even use muvee to create this video Btw if your video file is called "mybackground.wmv" and you have another file named "mybackground_hi.wmv" with dimensions 960x540, then the "hi" file will automatically be used when saving a muvee to HD formats.

Thanks alot for the info, but I already did it. Its cool playing around with the graphics to make new styles. I just wish I was good at making my own.
Maybe you could make a board were people could place gaphics that they would be willing to share. Just a thought. Love the site, Keep up the good work.
