Generating a movie

 

Principle


Harmony Assistant provides several methods for sharing your music. You can use your MUSL space, generate multi-platform files in MyrWeb format or create movies.
It is this last method that we will detail here. In a few clicks you will create a movie that can be shares on YouTube, Facebook or other social network.

First step : document setup

The movie will be the most faithful representation possible of the music which scrolls when you play it.

Once your music is loaded in Harmony:
- Choose if you want a representation in scroll mode or page mode because both are managed
- Adjust the size of the window: it will be the size of your movie
- Adjust the scale of your document so that it scrolls in a pleasant way

Play your music to verify that the settings are correct.

Second step :  movie setup

The menu "File > Export> Movie" opens the export configuration box.

A movie consists of three parts:

- opening credits
- the score which scrolls with the music
- end credits

White or black fade effects can be added as well as sequences between texts.
The durations of the effects are adjustable.

In the texts you can use the escape sequences: $T, $C, etc. A contextual menu offers you the most useful sequences.

A "Preview" button previews the first seconds of your movie.

If you do not want text, set the text duration to zero.
If you don't want to fade out, set the fade time to zero.

Once the parameters have been adjusted, click on "Ok" to choose the name and format of your movie.
You can specify the extension, like mp4, mov, mkv, avi etc. This will determine the format of your movie.
Generation can take several minutes.

Additional step : ffmpeg install

Harmony Assistant uses the free ffmpeg software to generate movies. It must be installed on your computer.

If this is not the case, a message will be displayed before the export configuration.

Please use this link to download the latest version of ffmpeg.
