Psychedelic Music

[newportnews]

Newportnews did you produce those visuals (if so what software was used, my guess is milkdrop but looks like they have been tweaked)?those are some choice psychedelic visuals, they accomplish the intended goal. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for asking!

Here's the steps involved:

1. Milkdrop 2 custom presets (made using built-in, mash-up editor and a lot of patience) with a 1 sec duration, 30 sec transition, random order, captured, filtered, color adjusted, rendered.

2. Repeat process

3. Capture a third video source (8hrs of clouds in this case,) edited, cropped, filtered, and sped up.

4. Layer step 1 and step 3 at 70/30 ratio, filtered, faded, rendered.

5. Layer step 2 and step 4 at 60/40 ratio, edited, filtered, faded, rendered.

6. Finish final time edit, filters, fades, audio syncing, and rendering.

Total project takes about 5 days with computer processing 20 hrs a day. Back up between steps, because crashes become common at this workload.
