I had the same idea. I intend on sharing my beatmeters, and the links to the music that they correspond to, for this exact reason.
Can I suggest a different format though? Perhaps something open-source?
I intend on sharing my beatmeters as the .JSON files output from the beatmeter generator:
https://gitlab.com/SklaveDaniel/BeatmeterGenerator
This has the added advantages that anyone who wants to use/create these beatmeters can:
- Alter the beat pattern
- Alter the style
- Download minimal data (just the JSON and a link to the music)
- Not have to pay for expensive video editing products from Adobe or DaVinci
- Host these beatmeters anywhere without fear of DMCA takedown (no music included)
- Make these beatmeters compatible with future software from this community
- As text-only files these can be version controlled, hosted on GitHub, forked, etc.
Obviously, whatever way you go, props to you for this effort. We need more creators like you that put in the time to make things easier for the rest of us. Thank-you.
Also, I'll admit that I don't have any experience with the Timeline.XML format and that that might also be a good way to go, for many of the same reasons. Personally, I think that the XML file format as a whole needs to die a quick and painful death, but if the industry still uses it...
As for songs, I'd love CH rounds set to the music of:
- Work from Home, by Fifth Harmony (great for amateur rounds)
- Candy, by Doja Cat
- Breathe, by Alexi Murdoch (good for breath play)
And I do plan on making them, if nobody beats me to it. I'd be more than happy to collaborate, as long as I don't have to pay for or install any video editing software.
