  • Thanks for that - it's a fascinating video.

    I am very interested in audio reaction. I've searched here on the Studio Artist forum and seen comments discussing the possible future implementation of such a feature, but the idea seems not to have prompted enthusiastic response.

    On one thread, John Dalton asked how audio reaction might be used; well, this video gives a good example of how it could be used - to affect transition of elements: scale, position, rotation, etc; and to affect colour and visibility.

    Currently, I use After Effects to create keyframes from an audio file to modulate various effects on a video, and then run that modulated video through Studio Artist.

    But I would like to be able, for instance, having separated out the various instruments/tracks in a DAW and created .wav, .aiff or .mp3 files of them, to then use these to modulate different parameters within Studio Artist. So that, as an example, the bass could modulate distortion parameters; the drums, brightness; and so on.

    • By enthusiastic, do you mean Synthetik or Studio Artist users?

      We here at Synthetik are actually very interested in examining ways to interface better to existing audio work environments for audio modulation and beat modulated control of effects generated in Studio Artist.

      I'm not going to say anything about the specifics of what we are looking at to facilitate that at this particular time.

      But i am very interested in any opinions or suggestions like what you just discussed for how people would want to use audio or beat structures to manipulate visuals within Studio Artist. This feedback is very good information to be included into internal decisions we are involved in now about how we should proceed in this area.

      • The feature I miss most when working with audio (which is most of the time now) is to be able to see, in the SA PASeq timeline, cue points/markers in the audio (and/or video) file, markers created in other applications. That would give me easier access to a way of working that now needs workarounds. Also, in previous SA versions, we were able to set in and out points in the source video, another thing I really miss these days.

Whats going on with this site?

Has anyone else gotten a warning about this site disappearing? An email form just popped up, asking me to contract the owner and leave a message to let them know that they may loose their "network"Did Synthetik forget to pay it's bills, or is something else going on?I think 8 months is more than enough vacation time. Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks

To Datamosh and beyond?

I expect most of you know what i'm refering to wit this effect. It's a glitching with codecs like h264 where the the last frame of a previous clip gets frozen and used as a colur pallete for the next. It's been exploited numerous times in edgy rap videos etc.StudioArtist seems ideal for making similar effects, given it's high levels of pixel manipulation controls.Expt 1What i'm trying out for a start is using two layers - Layer 1 (topmost) has a still image. Layer 2 has a video.On Canvas/Layer…
