seewav 0.1.0

Visualize waveform

SeeWav: animation generator for audio waveforms

Installation

You will need a decently recent version of python, most likely 3.6 or 3.7. You will need ffmpeg installed somewhere with sufficient codec support. If you are using conda, install it with conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg. Alternatively, on OSX with Homebrew, you can run brew install ffmpeg.

# Optional, if you use conda, otherwise find a way to install it.
# conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg
pip3 install seewave

Usage

seewave AUDIO_FILE [OUTPUT_FILE]

By default, outputs to out.mp4. Available options:

usage: seewav [-h] [-r RATE] [-c COLOR] [--white] [-B BARS] [-O OVERSAMPLE] [-T TIME] [-S SPEED] [-W WIDTH] [-H HEIGHT] [-s SEEK] [-d DURATION] audio [out]

Generate a nice mp4 animation from an audio file.

positional arguments:
  audio                 Path to audio file
  out                   Path to output file. Default is ./out.mp4

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r RATE, --rate RATE  Video framerate.
  -c COLOR, --color COLOR
                        Color of the bars as `r,g,b` in [0, 1].
  --white               Use white background. Default is black.
  -B BARS, --bars BARS  Number of bars on the video at once
  -O OVERSAMPLE, --oversample OVERSAMPLE
                        Lower values will feel less reactive.
  -T TIME, --time TIME  Amount of audio shown at once on a frame.
  -S SPEED, --speed SPEED
                        Higher values means faster transitions between frames.
  -W WIDTH, --width WIDTH
                        width in pixels of the animation
  -H HEIGHT, --height HEIGHT
                        height in pixels of the animation
  -s SEEK, --seek SEEK  Seek to time in seconds in video.
  -d DURATION, --duration DURATION
                        Duration in seconds from seek time.
