Quick start¶
Step 1: (optional) Upload a video into the dashed box.
Step 2: Select a musical style from the dropdown list.
Step 3: Enter timestamps (in seconds) to align the music to your video. If you uploaded a video in Step 1, “Start” will automatically be set to the beginning of the video (0 seconds), and “End” to match the length of the video. Different styles have different numbers of “Markers” that specify transition points in the music. You can set the Markers to the timestamps of transition points in your video. Setting consecutive markers to the same timestamp will skip a section of the music. If you leave some or all of the timestamps blank, Viviscore will fill them in for you, but they may not match your video as well.
Step 4: Click “Compose!” Viviscore will generate a unique composition. This can take a minute or so. When complete, a player will appear allowing you to preview the composition with a lower-quality synthesizer.
Step 5: Download the result. There are five things you can select when you click the Download button:
- Midi file:
The downloaded midi file can be opened in third-party software such as a digital audio workstation (DAW) or music notation software for further editing or synthesis.
- Score:
a pdf of the score, allowing live or recorded human performance of the composition.
- Rendered audio:
an mp3 of the composition with high-quality rendering. This can take a minute or so.
- Video with new audio:
If you have uploaded a video, this option will automatically merge the new audio and video, providing a new video file with any original audio removed.
- Video with mixed audio:
If you have uploaded a video, this option will automatically merge the new audio and video, providing a new video file that mixes the new audio with any original audio.
