ｖａｐｏｒｗａｖｅ　ｇｅｎｅｒａｔｏｒ　旺育栄

A ｖａｐｏｒｗａｖｅ music + image + video (+art soon, I promise) generator bodged together using code from various sources. Runs on Python 3. VHSVideo option is really really slow (Seconds per frame is 7.)

usage: main.py [-h] [-M] [-P] [-V] [-v] [-i INPUT] [-o OUTPUT]

| V A P O R W A V E || G E N E R A T O R |

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -M, --music           generate v a p o r w a v e music
  -P, --picture         generate VHS Style image
  -V, --video           VHS Style Video
  -v, --version         show program version
  -i INPUT, --input INPUT
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Output for specifying output video

If the program gives an error for sox, try running ulimit -n 999'. You may also need to run chmod +x get-beats

Installation

This was tested on macOS Catalina ( so should work on almost all macOS versions). Windows is unsupported at this time ( I need to find a way to use aubio's python module)

Dependencies

Linux

sudo apt install ffmpeg ffprobe libavl1 sox
pip install -r requirements.txt

macOS

Make sure you have brew installed

brew install noah # I would have had to re-compile the executeable :(
brew install sox
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

YouTube URL

python3 main.py -M -i <YOUTUBE_URL>

Song Title

python3 main.py -M -i Song Title

V H S I M A G E S

python3 main.py -P -i "image.jpg"

V H S V I D E O

python3 main.py -V -i "video.mp4" -o "output.mp4"

Bugs

This project is a result of bodging and therefore has tons of bugs which need to be ironed out. I need to swat some bugs in the VHSVideo file.

There might be a problem with the generated video not having audio, for that run the following

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn -acodec copy output-audio.aac ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -i output-audio.aac -c copy output-with-audio.mp4

To-Do

• Move away from using os.system calls, and use Python modules instead ( Looking at you, Sox and aubio)
• Clean the Code
• Add Artwork Generator
• VHS Picture Styler ( Added in v1.5 )
• Add Video Generator
• Add Custom Date to VHS Styler
