generative film and audio synch

owen lloyd's icon

hi there,

i've made a generative film in jitter which also generates it's own soundtrack in msp. is there a way of outputting some of it to a quicktime movie complete with audio in sync?
the thing is i want to do it at pretty high resolution so it can't really be done in a realtime dump to a camera as it drops frames at high res.

thanks for any help

use jit.vcr perhaps, if you want it high res, make sure your audio
timing is linked to your video timing and run things in non-realtime
mode.

search the archives for randy jones's render_node, too

i've had a look at render_node and am trying to figure out how to integrate it into my patch.

i wonder if jit.vcr is simpler but in tests realtime and non-realtime mode both drop video frames. i'm probably making a simple mistake but all timings (audio and video) are linked and i'm using the same realtime message that jit.qt.record uses. is this correct?

thanks again for all help

We do a record stage first, in which 1) all basic parameters of the processing are stored every 40 ms (make sure you use a metro (not qmetro) and overdrive for this) and 2) record the audio. In the second stage we use jit.qt.record to render frames back one by one, setting back all the parameters we recorded in the first stage. In stage three the audio file is added to the resulting movie with jit.qt.movie's editing commands.

Btw, this only works if none of your processes are timebased.

Greets,

thanks mattijs,
i think i'll give this route a try :)
all a bit brain frying (i am quite new to jitter)

cheers
