powertab
video output
Description can learn guitar from video generated by power tab
Additional context power tab have a feature to generate video e.g. powertab -i ost_titanic.pt2 -o ost_titanic.mp4 --show_score=true --show_tab=true --show_fretboard=true --zoom_percentage=150
n.b. there's a lot of converter from midi to piano visualisation, but not found for guitar tab yet e.g. https://github.com/ArjunSahlot/piano_visualizer https://github.com/jxmorris12/synthviz
guitar tab that can record video online https://www.soundslice.com https://www.soundslice.com/help/en/player/advanced/21/visual-fretboard/
thanks and best regards
I would love this feature. Earlier this year, I started creating instructional videos of cover songs including video of the tabs. Its a pretty cumbersome process, but here's an example of the result (all of my videos feature tabs from PTE!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odjhphn57S4
With out the ability output video from PTE, I instead have to record my screen while PTE midi player is playing. There's some annoyances with this approach. As the midi player scrolls through the tabs in play mode, the size of the systems vary and the placement of the systems moves around in my video... no good. When I merge the tabs video with my guitar video together, I have to cut and splice the tabs video into segments - one segment per PTE system - so that I can position the video segments in the same place in my video... hard to explain here, but trust me - its a pain. The other thing I have to do that doesn't come out great is that I have to remove the background of the tabs in my videos so that the tabs video is transparent (except for the actual notes and tabs which appear over top of my guitar video). But the color scheme within PTE makes this a bit difficult since the way it works it by replacing a color in the video with transparency. it'd be helpful if I could make the background pure black with high contrast pure white notes and tabs.
But all of that might be avoided if PTE could output a video from the MIDI player scrolling thru the tabs.
