       | Any demo video to understand what kind of output it will be?

         | The trailer contains footage of the music videos produced (the
         | part with the fancy effects and transitions synchronized with
         | the music). It's basically a real-time video that plays within
         | the app alongside your music - it doesn't output videos as
         | files. I need to probably make that part clearer somehow.

       | Are real-time videos just photo transitions with effects?

         | Yeah. It's most similar to the kind of edited stuff you see
         | people making with programs like Adobe After Effects and etc.
         | The effects and transitions are synchronized with the currently
         | playing audio, so there is real-time aspect to it.

         | Oof, thanks for reporting this. I think something might've
         | broke in the code signing/notarization process for macOS

         | Could you post an issue with the details on the issue tracker?

       | I've been working on a music player that combines audio analysis
       | and shaders to create music videos that play alongside your
       | music. The videos are similar to the style of edited music videos
       | you can often find on youtube and the like, but are done in real-
       | time!
       | 
       | edit: to clarify some confusion, this app is basically a music
       | player similar to wallpaper engine but with more focus on
       | visualizations. the trailer contains an example of the videos
       | produced - you load your images into the app, and the app uses it
       | to create a visualization synchronized with the music similar to
       | the style of edited music videos.

       | Project looks great!
       | 
       | Tho, out of curiosity: Is it open source/will be?

         | Thank you :)
         | 
         | I haven't decided yet on whether or not I want to open source
         | it. But I am definitely open to it and may do it in the future.

           | aswell :D

       | Are there any demos available? Like, examples of what the music
       | videos look like?

       | I'm a little wary of downloading what appears to be closed-source
       | software and running it, especially if I don't know if it's
       | something I'd be interested in using.
       | 
       | Otherwise, it's a really cool idea (I _LOVE_ the old winamp
       | visualizers).

         | Hey, thanks for your interest!
         | 
         | The footage in the trailer shows what the music videos look
         | like. All of it is recorded directly from the app, and there's
         | a section where the UI is hidden and it's mostly effects and
         | transitions going on (that's the music video part). In
         | hindsight I might not have made that part clear enough.
         | 
         | Also, the old winamp style visualizations were super badass!
         | They played a huge part in my interest in audio visualization
         | :-)

           | Not to be hyper-critical, but that video was a bit
           | underwhelming. It might be helpful to find a more impressive
           | example to highlight.

           | If so, does it do other things or just anime girls?

             | You can use whatever images you want. You load your images
             | into the app along with your audio and it uses those
             | images. There's a bunch of effects like filters,
             | transitions, particles, etc. that you can customize to
             | adjust the visualizations.
