Hey guys, I made a little application to generate the most "wanted" effect, yeah, the spectrum. Let's see some screenshots before to start.
►NOTE: The max. number of bars that you can set is 120
► Before to start
- Be sure to have the latest java update, you can check it in cmd (Just type java -version and enter), example
► Installation
- Download the rar file from current link
- Extract where ever you want
► How to use it
- 1. Open Spectrum.exe and there will appear a dialog, select your mp3 file and open it
- 2. Before to start, complete all the text boxes with all the values that you need
Open
- Style: Set the Style of spectrum {0;1;2}
- Save: You can set where you want to save your osb code, by default it will save it to your desktop . You can just type the filename and the txt file will be created in the same folder
- Path: The path of your image
- startTime: Here is where your spectrum will start (ms)
- endTime: Here is where your spectrum will fade-out (ms)
- fade:Opacity |1-full visible|0-hidden|
- ms before fade-in: yeah that (ms)
- ms before fade-out: you know it (ms)
- Color|r|g|b|: The color of your spectrum
- Color2|r|g|b|: The second color of your spectrum *You only need to enter a value here if you are going to enable ColorLoop*
- X: X position where the first bar will start appearing
- Y: Y position
- VH: Horizontal size of your bars
- Distance between bars: Distance between each bar (px)
- Origin: Is this really necessary? yes. The appearance of your spectrum will depend of this Example: BottomCentre,Centre
- Additive: Enable it if you want an additive blend effect to your image
- oneBeat: (ms)
- Loop: How many times the loop will work
- xWave: X distance for the wave
- Radius: Value for the circle shape
► Style
- 3. Before to start you should know that there are three styles for the spectrum, normal spectrum, waves and circular spectrum. What's the difference?, Well Let's see it now
Normal Spectrum
- A simple spectrum
Waves
- You need to combine images with the tool and you could get that kind of spectrum with waves style
- 4. Now you have to choose a style: |0 - Normal Spectrum||1 - Waves||2 - Circle|| I'll be adding more styles if you have any suggestion
- 5. If you will use the first style (0) you can ignore the next text boxes (oneBeat||loop||xwave||radius)
- 5.1. If not (Waves) , we have to introduce the next values now
Open
- oneBeat: Well, one beat, that, the distance between a white tick and the next one (miliseconds)
- Loop: How many times the spectrum will be moving (Waves)
- XWaves: How many pixels the bars will move in the Y position (20 should be okay, to have a soft movement)
- 5.2. If you will use third style (Circular Spectrum) we need to add these values and we can just ignore (oneBeat||loop||xwave)
Open
- Radius: The circle radius
- 6. Color Loop Option There's an extra feature where you can have a colorful spectrum with two color values like waves and circular spectrum example, What do we need for this?
Open
- Color(r,g,b): First Color
- Color2(r,g,b): Second Color
- oneBeat: (ms)
- Loop: How many times it will be being looped
- And the most important thing: Enable ColorLoop checkbox
- 7. Now Press START , wait a bit please, don't press it again. Why?. Because it takes a while to skip to the startTime ms
- 8. It should stop when it reaches the endTime value. Anyways you can press STOP button if you want to
- 9. Now go to your Desktop or the path that you've choosen to save it and there should be a txt file named spectrum.txt will all your storyboard code
- 10. Just copy all the code and paste it into your .osb file
►NOTE: The max. number of bars that you can set is 120
- If you want to work with coding be sure to take a look at Wafu's Guide
- There was an auto-updater but let's remove it for now since it isn't working very well
