Most of the apps that do this only seem to work with the iTunes library. What I haven’t found yet outside of iMovie is something which will read wav files direct from the Files app or AudioShare, and automatically do the old sound to video thing that used to be so popular as screen savers back in the day. Though I have a sneaking feeling I might be having to drop thirty quid on Lumafusion

Together with public domain movie clips from the Prelinger Archive, which I found out about here:Ĭurrently, I am assembling these in iMovie, and experimenting with the free open source CapCut editor/fx app: I am using my own photos, video clips, and mashups made in FotoDa: Ions2+, which does great touchscreen-interactive particle effects. I am currently really enjoying Glitch Art Studio which has an insane amount of filters and effects for cheap, ideal for the art house experimental flavour I am going for: Thanks all for your recommendations, this is a whole new world of app purchasing opening up before me. Most of them are in the Entertainment category, and have names with words like.

Some respond to touch, some sound, some both. No auv3 or anything but still cool nonetheless. There’s a bunch some better then others, here’s a few to give you an idea. There are a lot of great apps like this, with some crazy visuals, but uzu is my favorite. It’s great for some stress relief but I could also see it being used to respond to sound for a video, or at least some b roll. You can randomize everything (colors, background, grains, trail, grain size, etc.) or set everything just the way you want it, it responds to touch, or sound. I like the idea of being able to dial the level of my interaction up and down, from frame by frame manual composition all the way to ‘hit this button to render video’ idiot proof one shots.įor preference, I really don’t want to become a detailed video editor, just looking for an easy way to create some distracting/ entertaining visuals to justify posting to a visual medium, with some scope to tweak/intervene. So I’d like to take the same approach to video as my music creation, that is, from a basis of not much skill, and using auto generation and visual fx as much as possible to create abstract, experimental ‘arty’ footage from collaged and sampled sources such as still images, sound-to-motion ‘screensavers’s, public domain films etc.Ĭan anyone suggest a suitable app, preferably capable of melding music and images in app in a single pass, and uploading direct to YouTube, or alternatively, that can quickly create footage that I can easily lay up against the music in iMovie?

I routinely post my stuff to SoundCloud, but it occurs to me that I am missing a trick by not also publishing it to YouTube.
