Is there a development framework for creating kinetic typography where animation is tuned to music?

Question

Kinetic typography is an animation of text synchronized with music or audio from movies. A great example is here . There are good tutorials that show how to create kinetic typography animations in Flash and Adobe After Affects, but I used the Animoto service and synchronizes the movement of the graphics with MP3. There are algorithms that select the movement, apply it to the object, and some - the time when the movement occurs with music.

Is there a library or an open source library that does this? Is it possible to do this with ActionScript?

UPDATE:

I found Kinetic from Johnny Lee , which is a Java platform that creates a QuickTime movie based on the animation it creates. There is an API with this library. It looks interesting and also difficult. I did some more research on web solutions and I am surprised that someone has not experimented with the Canvas tag for this. Does anyone know of the work done in this arena with Canvas?

Answer 1

Some possible solutions include

• Kinetic typography engine , uses Java and JMF

• Synfig Studio and jLipSync see here and here , you can also use yolo for audio timings

• Blender with BlendText also see here

• Processing see here , this option is probably the closest to the structure, but still requires an initial specification of the desired behavior.

• Jahshaka see here
