About
This tool create synthesia-like piano tiles effect from midi files.
Although Synthesia provides nice animation, it is not for free. Hence, I use matplotlib to create the piano tiles animation.
The output video can futher be imported in video editting software such as After Effects as an overlay of your video.
Usage
# some video settings
VIDEO_DPI = 1000
VIDEO_FPS = 60
VIDEO_WIDTH = 1080*2
VIDEO_HEIGHT = 720*2
# the proportion of keyboard display
KB_RATIO = 0.1
# speed of the falling tiles (pixels per sec)
# notice that this value also affect the height of each tile
TILE_VELOCITY = 500
import pianoTileCreator
ptc = pianoTileCreator.PianoTileCreator(video_width=VIDEO_WIDTH,
video_height=VIDEO_HEIGHT,
video_dpi=VIDEO_DPI,
video_fps=VIDEO_FPS,
KB_ratio=KB_RATIO,
tile_velocity=TILE_VELOCITY,
key_color="green",
showKeyVelocity=True)
ptc.loadMidiFile("<input midi file>",verbose=True)
ptc.render("<output video file>",verbose=True)
Parameters
video_width (int)
: the width of the output video (px)video_height (int)
: the height of the output video (px)video_dpi (int)
: the dpi of the output video (px)video_fps (int)
: the fps of the output video (px)KB_ratio (float)
: the proportion of the piano keyboard display. This value should be in [0,1)tile_velocity (int)
: the velocity of the falling tileskey_color (string)
: the color of the tilesshowKeyVelocity (bool)
: if True, the velocity of midi notes will affect the opacity of the tiles
