Great idea, I'll have a look. Maybe it's an idea to make it open source. It would definitely be cool to include this in the offline tease player 'TeaseMe'.

Thank you so much for making cock hero movies easier for the average person to create.

Are you planning to let it encode the overlayed beat meter into a video file? I ask because I'm not looking to play the video on just my computer, I want to make an entire CH video to share.

I love that you allow us to add our own assets.

I'd recommend that you make the .sxbeat file be an actual .txt file so it's easier to edit, unless you plan on adding a GUI for editing it.

I have to applaud you on the start of something great. I encountered no problems with the beta version. I like the minimal and clean meter at the bottom. At the moment it was hard to distinguish the beat to meter sync. But I'm sure that is because of the pre-existing beat in the video.

As a side note, the compression you used for the clip was impressive. The download totaled 55 mbs and fit an entire song with an adequate quality for my 720p screen.

Keep it up. You have something real good.

Awesome idea! Any chance you could style the text file to make it compatible with the RealTouch device? That would basically solve the whole converting Cock Hero to RealTouch thing pretty quickly.

Looks great sx, thanks, I could make my own CH now.

I couldn't hear the beat apart from the beat coming through the normal video. I had a listen to the beat.wav and realised it was pretty quiet, easily missed. As a test I substituted for the windows ding.wav, renamed in the same directory as the original beat.wav, still didn't hear it so something not quite right. I am on WinXP, WMP11.

Open the SxBeat file with notepad.exe to select another wave file.

I don't know if this file syntax was compatible with RealTouch, but I sure I can easily code a plugin. :-D

No, I do not think so, it's too complex to encode a video.:-/

Yes, I'm developing a GUI to edit SxBeat files easily. :-D

You can easily adjust the Beats with the audio only by editing SxBeat file with a text editor.

I'm using Any Video Converter to encode and trim video files. Simple and Free :-)

Pretty cool utility. Is there any way to add seekability to it, or to start the video at a particular time?

Hey,
I'm new on the forums as I've wanted to get some info on how to add stroke meter to CH videos. :)

My question is ... how does this software work? I tried looking at your website, reading the discussion but did not quite understand how this works and what exactly is does. Could you please inform me about what this program does and how to use it?

Sorry for being so lame. :-D
