Harrigan. Uploaded to Amynet by: Martijn Thieme Support BBS Sysop: Wim Rumping DESCRIPTION With VideoTracker you can make a videoclip around a ProTracker or OctaMED module. You can also let images react to your CD-player, or other audio-input, with use of extra hardware. You can use pictures, brushes, animations, animation-brushes, palettes, colorcycle, routines (like Plasma, Rotate/Magnify), texts, objects, vectorobjects, amigafonts, karafonts, landscapes, colorsets. When the video is finished, you can save the module and video data as a "Vidule". A vidule is a crunchable executable file which plays the module and the video. You can make a small intro or a big house-demo. You also can use VideoTracker with a GenLock and, for example, make professional movie-titles with colorfonts. When the module plays a sample, VideoTracker shows an "effect" on screen. This effect can be a picture, brush, anim, routine, etcetra. or a combination of these. You can edit for each of the 128 song-positions the 31 samples and use up to 256 effects in a video. All the explained effects are used in the example-videos. VideoTracker works on PAL and NTSC Amigas. UPDATE This version is debugged for high end Amigas like the 4000/40. It is written on A1200HD 68030/28 MMU 68882/28 4 meg fast. The routines in the v1.42 version, didn't make good use of fastmem, that's changed now. I rewrote VideoTracker and all routines to make maximum use of fastmem. As an example, the memory usage of the Bonzai video: Size Fastmem Chipmem VideoTracker v1.42 1547k 75K 1473k VideoTracker v2.0 1600k 756k 844k There is a way now to make VideoTracker react on music from a CD-player, tape, or a live mixing DJ. I have a rebuilded 3-way lightorgan connected to my computer, instead of sending the signals to lightbulbs, it sends them to electronic switches that are connected to a Joystick-plug. I made a player that reacts on signals from joystick port 2, I've put a testvideo called "Joystick" on this disk. The video must be 8 songpositions, it reacts on left, up and right, the button selects the next songposition, when it's at 8 it restarts at 0. For better bass and hihat reactions, you can add an Equalizer. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Kickstart 2.0 or higher. HOST NAME Any Aminet-site, eg. "ftp.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4)."
