Re: Render and animate OctaMed songs in batch processing

Henning Thielemann:


Decades ago I arranged more than 200 songs using MED/OctaMED/OctaMED
Studio on various Amigas. In the meantime I converted them all to MMD1 and
MMD2 format. I wanted to render them to audio files (e.g. WAV) for use on
CDs or MP3 players. I could render the MMD1 files without problems using
UADE, however UADE refuses to render MMD2 (with mixer mode). XMP seems to
play some MMD2 modules, but not all of them (maybe has to do with mixer
mode).

 
Radium seems to accept only MMD2 and not MMD1, but when playing
there is only silence (whereas demo songs make noise, so no Jack problem).

That makes sense. Radium only import MIDI instruments from MMD2 and MMD3
songs. I made Radium to replace Octamed, so I needed to import
my MMD2/MMD3 songs, which only contained MIDI.



Next step: I want to create music videos from the playing modules for
upload, say, to YouTube. I am certainly not patient enough to perform all
songs in OctaMED in an Amiga emulator (FS-UAE) and record the performances
using a screen grabber (like ffmpeg -f x11grab).

I guess you could create a script and let it run over night. Something like this:

1. Modify S/startup-sequence to load and play the next module.
2. Start a program that monitors the audio output of uae. When uae
stops producing sound, the script shuts down uae.
3. Goto 1.

 
If playing in Radium
would work, I could check whether it is possible to control Radium and
screen grabbing from a shell script.
 
I've used obsproject.com to create the youtube radium videos. It
performed far better than everything else I tried. Almost no
problems recording glitch-free 1900x1080@60hz on my ~10 year old computer.
It's probably possible to script it somehow too.
