Analyse video pixels and transform into audio

vvvv beta question
#1

Hi.
I’m beginner in VVVV, and I came across such a problem. I was hoping I would be able to help in that. Does not know which way I would transform data from video file to audio line. Is it possible to transform change on the basis of color pixels from the video? Supposedly it we can build a decoding frame for color brightness difference, but I can not figure out a way how to analyze, would not know anyone in that order? I I have read another threads about this, but I have not found solution.

If you have a minute,I would be very grateful.

Thanks.

To get color information from a video, you could use the Pipet (EX9.Texture). Or better, Pipet (EX9.Texture Simple)

Look at the helpfile; make node select F1. There is a Filestream + Videotexture Combination there.

Now you got some colors, you can use a Node like HSL (Color Split) or [HSV (Color Split](https://vvvv.org/documentation/HSV-(Color-Split) to get the Hue, Saturation and brightness information from that color, as values.

…

I am not sure what you mean with “Audio Line”. you wanne generate audio? Or show some wave forms? For both cases, there is in the “Girlpower” a folder called, “the next generation”, and in there the Folder “Audio” with a lot of examples for Audio related patches.

in the VVVV.Audio pack is a demo patch which gets pixels from a texture and transforms them into a sequence of sine waves: VVVV.Audio\girlpower\VisualSequencer.v4p
and also have a look at: VVVV.Audio\girlpower\WaveTableSynthesis.v4p
this patch demonstartes how to send an arbitrary sequence of numbers to your sound card.

you can use the variouse texture fx filters to transform your video image to produce different kinds of source material for the pipet node. more on this here: Video Effects and Compositing.
