Visuals Move with Beat

dj_marv

1. How can i get visuals to move with beats say i had some mp4 eg a short video (that has visuals and sound + bpm mastered) in the media bank and i play an ordinary mp3 in Serato DJ will it move with the beat automatically? say the video sample has a beat of 120 and i play a tune that is 100 will it slow down to the beat. 2. will the visuals loop automatically if the song im playing is longer?

As we can automatically assign visuals to ordinary (i.e link audio with visuals) is this possible with the media bank. regards

There is no easy way to do this in MixEmergency at the moment - it's something that I would love to implement though. Technically you can do this with the Sample Player though. Anyway, while it isn't possible to sync the playback rate, it is possible to sync the effects that you layer over the sample. This is usually the best way to make it appear that the visuals are in sync with the audio.

Hi Nick, I am no expert in audio visuals. I am always overwhelmed with the possibilities of your program. Its time you start releasing video tutorials weekly or more frequently. If this is not your game perhaps you can get one of the master users of your program eg Docoptic etc to do it. Nothing to verbose, but in simple language like DJ Angelo's scratch tutorials or Konix' SL tutorials on youtube. You can take a feature or two on each episode and explain in details what they do eg the visuals layering, FX etc

Yeah, I need to make some more when I get the time. In the meantime, check out the Tips and Tricks section: http://www.inklen.com/mixemergency/tips/ As well as some of the tutorials by DocOptic: https://docoptic.com/tag/mixemergency/

Another thing that will be nice is to release theme based FX presets or FX Sequences for download occasionally. eg "Electro/Festival" "Big Room" "Hip Hop" "Disco" "Groovy" etc

Hello, Will i lose bpm if i convert MP4 into HAP (MOV files). I downloaded some visuals that are MP4 with bpm. I'm thinking of converting them to MOV (HAP) files to use in ME3. I have a MOV Scanner qtz. Which i have found very helpful for what it does. I'm not sure it recognises MP4 files.

Nick

Maybe (actually, it's likely) - it'll depend on the application that you're using to convert them.
