audio-visualizer-python
=======================
This is a little GUI tool which creates an audio visualization video from an input audio.
You can also give it a background image and set a title text.
This is a little GUI tool which creates an audio visualization video from an input audio file. Different components can be added and layered to change the resulting video and add images, videos, gradients, text, etc. The component setup can be saved as a Project and exporting can be automated using commandline options.
I have tested the program on Linux (Ubuntu 14.10) and Windows (Windows 7), it should also work on Mac OS X. If you encounter problems
running it or have other bug reports or features, that you wish to see implemented, please fork the project and send me a pull request and/or file an issue on this project.

I also need a good name that is not as generic as "audio-visualizer-python"!
Dependencies
------------
You need Python 3, PyQt4, PIL (or Pillow), numpy and the program ffmpeg, which is used to read the audio and render the video.
Python 3, PyQt5, pillow-simd, numpy, and ffmpeg 3.3
Installation
------------
### Manual installation on Ubuntu
* Get all the python stuff: `sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pyqt4 python3-pil python3-numpy`
* Get ffmpeg/avconv:
You can either use `avconv` from the standard repositories (package `libav-tools`) or get `ffmpeg` from the [website](http://ffmpeg.org/) or from a PPA (e.g. [https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg](https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg). The program does automatically detect if you don't have the ffmpeg binary and tries to use avconv instead.
### Manual installation on Ubuntu 16.04
* Install pip: `sudo apt-get install python3-pip`
* Install dependencies: `sudo pip3 install pyqt5 numpy pillow-simd`
* Install `ffmpeg` from the [website](http://ffmpeg.org/) or from a PPA (e.g. [https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg-3](https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg-3). NOTE: `ffmpeg` in the standard repos is too old (v2.8). Old versions and `avconv` may be used but full functionality is only guaranteed with `ffmpeg` 3.3 or higher.
Download audio-visualizer-python from this repository and run it with `python3 main.py`.
### Manual installation on Windows
### Manual installation on Windows [Outdated]
* Download and install Python 3.4 from [https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)
* Download and install PyQt4 for Python 3.4 and Qt4 from [http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download](http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download)
* Download and install numpy from [http://www.scipy.org/scipylib/download.html](http://www.scipy.org/scipylib/download.html). There is an installer available, make sure to get the one for Python 3.4
