1 vidi-player creates a video timeline starting from a MIDI file.
3 The video clips are taken from a "VideoFont" in which each sample clip
4 corresponds to a note. The samples are arranged following the time and value of
5 the notes in the MIDI file.
7 vidi-player allows to create more easily videos like these:
9 * Lasse Gjertsen - Hyperactive - https://youtu.be/o9698TqtY4A
10 * Vittorio Saggiomo - Mario Bros Column Chromatography - https://youtu.be/mxi3z2vDV_0
16 Create a synthetinc VideoFont:
18 $ ./create_test_videofont.py videofont
21 Play the timeline from a MIDI file using the samples from the VideoFont:
23 $ ./vidi-player.py examples/Beyer\ Op.\ 101\ -\ Exercise\ 008.midi videofont
26 Save the timeline to be edited somewhere else (e.g. in PiTiVi):
28 $ ./vidi-player.py examples/Beyer\ Op.\ 101\ -\ Exercise\ 008.midi videofont/ Beyer_008.xges
31 Render the timeline to a video file:
33 $ ges-launch-1.0 --load Beyer_008.xges --outputuri Beyer_008.webm --format="video/webm:video/x-vp8:audio/x-vorbis"
39 Of course if the idea is cool, chances are that others had it too. :)
44 A similar concept called midi-vidi has been developed by Marcus Fischer:

51 Midi-Vidi is also a very cool name, it sound like the Italian "mi dividi" which
52 means "you divide me".
