[Announcement] Beatmeter Generator 0.3.0

[3xTripleXXX]

What video editors are you guys using to import these beatmeter image sequences?

I use Adobe Premiere. Just make sure that you're exporting the sequence from Beatmeter Generator at the same framerate as your video is going to be.

What video editors are you guys using to import these beatmeter image sequences?

More or less any real video editor software should be able to import a still image series. Just remember to match the frame rate. I use Davinci Resolve and just drag and drop the image folder into the editor media library.

Good luck.

One more question, why sometimes my generated audio file doesn't work?

Not sure. Never had a problem with that. How doesn't it work?

[TheElephantMan]

It's generating but it doesn't have a sound on it.

Sorry, no idea. It has always worked for me.

Hey hi its my first time posting here and i dont even know if i am in the right spot.

im a long time lurker and just started to make an CH. now i am using the BM-Generator and i love it (most of the time).
i have a few questions what can i do when it gets stuck in the middle of something like loading a saved composition or sometimes it gets stuck preparing to detect the BPM but right now for me it is impossible to save a song i have half finished. i have to finish a song in one session and hope it doesnt get stuck or crash what should i do?.
and the problem with the saves is it always gets stuck trying to load a song i was working on earlier.

and i even maybe have a solutions to this one

It's generating but it doesn't have a sound on it.

for me it never showed the type of file and therefore it had no sound try to change the format of the file into a .wav file and it should be with sound

thank you, your Mr.Deydey

Is there n a bpm limit or something when generating a beatmeter video, because when I tried to generate one with a really fast beat per second, it didn't work and gave me this super long string of numbers error message and just froze.

Not that I’ve encountered, though kerkersklave would be the best one to answer something at that level. I’ve mixed the music in my videos to 145 and 150 bpm and that’s not been a problem anyway.

I've had the same error as BrushieStroke. It isn't the BMP alone, it's any beat sequence that is too fast. Didn't test it to find the exact interval that is too fast. Seems related to the video frames renderer attempting to prevent overlap of beat graphics. Occasionally I've had to remember the hotkeys for selecting and resizing a window, to deal with the error prompt behaving badly because the offending beat sequence is long and the error reports every frame. Maybe the pre-render check is coded to do that because the frames are drawn in SVG and overlap messes it up.

I have that same problem when trying to zoom in to the end, it will jump to the left away from the end as you zoom in. Then you have to scroll over to get to the end.

Also working around this.

What video editors are you guys using to import these beatmeter image sequences?

I use Blackmagic Davinci Resolve. Dragging a Beatmeter Generator export folder into its timelines is handled plainly as an image sequence played at the frame rate of the timeline. Because BG exports as PNGA, Resolve reads the frame A channel as transparent.

It's generating but it doesn't have a sound on it.

Be sure that the track is set to play.

That one I haven't seen. Do "java -showversion" on a command line. If it's saying 1.8 through 1.11, then the problem shouldn't be that, and may not be the program itself either. It could be lots of things. Would need attention to diagnose.

Hi, I am trying to get this working, but struggle with loading the wav file. The loading dialog is just hanging. I have tried the window installer and the jar file. Same problem with both. Can anyone help me?

[digitalparkinglot]

Hey Assloverman,

The .wav file has to be the 16 bit version, it won't work with a 32 bit .wav

[qwksilver]

Oh this looks nice, sad that I've only just noticed, gonna check it out soon!

[Assloverman]

Unfortunately I still can't get this to work. I have tried to use an online converter (https://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-wav) to ensure a 16-bit wav file, but the program still freezes at det loading dialog. (The blue status bar never moves).

Are you sure you are importing the audio? It is possible to accidentally open an audio file as a save file and then things explode.

[Assloverman]

Bingo! That was embarrassing... Thanks!

[Assloverman]

Btw. It would be very nice if this program could auto generate scripts for The launch and The handy. You already have the beat so I would think that this could be added with not much effort. Or am I wrong?
