AVS's 2 MOVIE???

Hey,
I'm want to record some AVS's into some sort of video format, what software can I use to do this? (preferably free?)

Be reading the FAQ

And be sure to search the forums!

if you figure out how to easily get a clip of avs into an animated gif file, for free, let me know...

You use AVSGrabber to get an AVI, and then you use a simple freeware anmation program capable of opening/saving AVIs and GIFs. It ain't hard nobby.

i have yet to find a freeware program that does that. what do you use?

I use Jasc psp7(animation shop 3), but that isn't free.

It took me all of 5 seconds to find this: http://download.com.com/3000-2192-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1

Just go to www.download.com and search for "avi gif" - you'll find lots

You can use Gimp.

If you can find it..

Microsoft gif animator will take avi's and convert them too gif's. It used to be a free download from MS but it was soo good they decided to pull it. Googling will yeild a result or two.

How about listening to what people say. Get AVSGrabber: It's free, and it's great. There has just been a new release, just search the forums for it.

I think he was referring to the AVI -> GIF conversion, not the AVS grabbing part.

how bout the next release of avs grabber comes with avs -> avatar sized gif

=DDDDDD

And a mp3 conversion to MIDI which will then be added to the GIF 😉

"Midi playing AVS avatars"

😁

Get real Tugg ... analyzing MP3, dividing into certain istruments and finding a good sounding midi replacement is insane!

I wouldnt want to let anyone code this (and i guess it doesnt exist), besides the result will be most likely to sound horrible 🧟

Heh, well i assumed sidd's post was a joke so i just continued the joke, i didn't really mean that 😉

Tough if it would actually work, you really could have fun with it. 🙂

Yeah, by simultanously listening to all the beeping avatars that are on the current page ... 😞

lol, that'll be horrible.

It would sound like one of those crappy old even pre-nintendo handhelds and would make me either smashing every single speaker of my pc or otherwise simply go mad...

NO! to Sound-Avatars 😛

Not even a sound jiggling/dancing T? 😉

LMAO @ T

You'd better NOT start this discussion again otherwise we'd have an avatar competition again.

But ... umm ... do show me if you got the sound T working 😛

LOL

Yeah, i don't want to change my avatar again! Not even for that 😉
Also i lack the software and knowledge to apply sound to gif's 😞

Same over here, i'm sticky and happy with mine too. 😉
Plus it's impossible do do some wicked weird psychedelic Simon Posford like trance with midi only 😛

(and it was it would be a fucking huge avatar in respect of the filesize)

Not necessarely, i mean, what do you do when you want a background sound for your webpage with a wav? (i know you don't want this, but let's assume you do 😛) The answer is you make it LOOP! With midi's being pretty small files already even if it's a full lenght song, a 10-30sec looping midi would be really small and would go under the 15kb limit along with the animation in your avatar. Now i don't know how long music or how many frames you could have, but it can sure go under the limit if needed 😉

Im mostly guessing, but im pretty sure it's possible and not only "in theory" 😞

But i really do hope that no one will ever get the urge to do it! 😁

Lol, me to

Theoretically, it WOULD be possible, but midi's capabillities are limited to the soundcard on the one hand (how many instruments, etc) and on the other hand to just sequence and arrange those insturments ... no filter effects, no reverb, no phazers, no flangers, nothing 🙁

As for music loops, have a look here:

This is a funny made guide to electronic music describing nearly every style you can imagine featuring sound loops from popular artist.

Give it a try, have a look at Trance > Goa and what come futher and then tell me wheter you can redo this in midi or not 😉

Yeah, no way you can make that in midi to sound like anything, but...

Jungle -> Experimental -> Sample 3 "Aphex Twin - 4"

That sounds like a midi already! 😁

Anyway, im sure that the inter-web is full of midis even 10sec loops, just go pick one 😉 So why should i bother to make my own?

btw. great site that guide thing, thanks!

There are actually already mp3/wav -> midi converters, but they don't work well at all(even on simple 1track pure-instrumental sons). Doing it requires a lot of work, and is beyond our capabilities currently.

I have made my own soundformat before that could fit thousands of hours of music in a file the size of an mp3. It used the system bell to make the sound. 😛 Annoyed the hell out of my family - lol.

LOL!

post it!

I no longer have it - it isn't difficult to create though.

lol, damnit. I would love to have it.
