Really interesting to see how you make these animations - I find it really cool to see how other fellow sheet music animators make these sorts of videos. Keep up the great work, they look amazing!
What I'd probably suggest as a faster alternative workflow: 1. Find a notation software file version of the piece on the web (there are sib and finale files of Chopin in the web), then, customize the paper format settings into that long long ribbon-like aspect ratio. 2. Export that as an image file. 3. Back to the notation software, hide the notes and all other notations, leaving only the blank staff behind. (crtl+Shft+H on sibelius) 4. Export that version as well (staff should align with the former image file ) 5. Fire up Photoshop, put up the two versions in 2 separate layers. 6. There is like a layer blending option there and i think is "subtract" or "difference"?? idk try experimenting. apply that blending mode on the top layer. 7. Viola, you've extracted the notations alone without the staff. export. 8. now that you've separated the staves from the notations, do with what you can with it with your workflow. I haven't tried it, but i think it'll work. Hope it helps! I LOVE YOUR WORK! ps: old hand-made Engraved editions are prettier, but wish we had AI tools for that in the future haha maybe i'll handwrite the music if im gonna do my version, scanning the empty staves first beforehand, to retain that organic look EDIT: I've thought of a faster workflow though with handgraved music 1.Use rectangle/polygon select tool and remove ALL notations in ONE pass, leaving only the staff behind. (easier than erasing it by hand one at a time) 2. export that white staff only version 3. Put that staff-only-version a layer on top of the original version 4. choose your layer blending option of choice on the top layer to extract the notations alone. (like what i did before) 5. Now with all the elements separated, its now easier to use a rectangle/polygon tool to do your usual thing
Wow this requires a lot of time and patience, and I would would probably be able to do it with enough motivation. Thanks for all your work! And coincidentally this is a piece I'm learning for my exam in 2 weeks
This is an amazing and very demanding work for editing! I tried to do the same myself with my own compositions and I thought It was a lot of editing by changing the clip speed to make look the scroller bar following my performance. I use Musescore which it has an invert color option and I just record the whole playback, then edit it on my video edition software to sync it with my video live performance. I wish I could create the same like you! make every single note appear instead of showing the whole score being played by a scroll bar. However I don't have the time for doing that. I wish there was an app like Seemusic app but for Sheet Music editing, maybe some future AI developer or a software developer will feel inspired by your work and will benefit everyone in the future you and me included! Great and amazing work!
omg yeah i feel like no one knows sayeedur123s videos?? he disappeared after he said he was gonna focus on his mental health and im so sad he deleted all his videos, glad youre the one making them now!
Simple, but with a crazy amount of manual work. At this level, I would do a pure programming render. Getting pieces with music notation files instead of PDF. And then doing the render with programming. Also, isn't it possible with photoshop to create two layers, one where you just remove the horizontal lines. It seems easier to manually remove the lines than to remove the notes.
@@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417 im like 1/5 of the way done with cutting the notes up and I'm DEAD. I dont know how the hell you did the pieces you did
@@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417 Okay so I fixed it, but Compound clips make it so anytime I zoom in, it gets blurry. i can zoom in fine with one png but when I make it a compound clip it becomes blurry. You got any ideas?
your work is amazing, but one thing I cant get out of my head us how miuch of this could be automated with a notation software and some davinci resolve scripts
possibly, there's parts where the brush is more helpful, like smaller specific cuts. either way, since this video, i've discovered a shortcut where you can draw a quick line with ur cursor and it erases through that line, which is similar and cleaner imo
Really well made tutorial. When you deal with long pieces, how do you transition from one long line of music to another one to make up for the 13500 maximum space?
This happens in most of my animations. If you slow it down, you see I pan the camera to the bottom left, then the next line just spawns in. When played at normal speed, it gives the illusion that you're turning the page into the next line lol By the way, 13500 isn't the max, it's just the amount that will usually fit a page of music, which is the amount I like to work on at a time
Davinci resolve can be slow on weaker computers, but the editing techniques are pretty light on the computer, you could probably do this with sony vegas on windows xp if you wanted to lol
Hey a different kind of suggestion here: Can you please make an animation on Mozarts 8th Piano sonata 1st Movements development section, its really stormy, and not very Mozart-like, which I find interesting
Wouldn't it be easier to use a midi file to find when to delete notes and a pdf, on a pdf you can just click on a note and delete it they are all considered separate objects so youll still have all the lines. After that you can convert all pdfs to png (please dont use jpeg for transparency) and animate, then stitch the lines together.
@wolowolowolowolowolowolowo2417 Midi files are just PDF scores but as the instructions to how to play the music. To use them in VLC you need to install a soundfont. There are online converters that allow you to convert a midi file to a PDF file, which will identically represent the midi file. Short: Midi files are PDF scores for computers.
@@coobik7973 you would have to go and manually add all the markings (text, slurs, pedals, dynamics, hairpins) though, but i could see that still being more efficient
@amaice You don't have to. You can delete one note at a time from the end of the midi file and save as PNG, then only the necessary part will be visible.
This inspired me to start a channel to make this types of videos, doesnt mind you if i go with 48 1 even tho you already did right? (also going with pogorelich so not completely copying)
Hello my friend This video inspired me to try to make an animation of the full op 27 no 1 nocturne. Yes, i am crazy But i'm wondering if and how i can merge different pngs together as the nocturne has 3 pages and i managed to make 3 pngs, each corresponding to one page
Hello. Ambitious, but it is very possible! I personally haven't found a way to merge multiple pages together. What I do instead is at the end of the page, the screen quickly moves to the bottom left, then the new page is inserted. This creates an illusion that looks like the camera is just panning to the next line below. You can see this trick used in several of my animations. But if you can find a way, then that will look very nice
Did you download it and can’t find it? If that’s the case, try checking your downloads folder, or quick search the name of the piece in your file explorer
Actually, the ravager is believed to be an innocent villager which Evokers captured, and have been genetically modified to follow their order. So they don't actually want to help the pillagers, they've just been brainwashed into doing so. Their soul is pure.

your reverting the last chord back to black and white is iconic at this point
The amount of effort and patience this must take is incredible. However the end result is likewise just as incredible
Steps unclear, I accidentally made a splatoon gameplay video with a sped up 8 bit splatoon song cover in the background instead.
I just realized his first video is a Splatoon one 😂
by the way you can use the rectangle select and delete to delete the details easily

I don't think I can make animations as cool as yours.
Not with such mentality!

EDIT:

1.Use rectangle/polygon select tool and remove ALL notations in ONE pass, leaving only the staff behind. (easier than erasing it by hand one at a time)

My exact idea, this should make the keyframe extraction step much faster
I’m sorry if this is an amateur question, but for the handgraved score how can you use the polygon tool to remove all the notations in one pass?
Thank you. I was able to get a glimpse of some of the truth of the universe.
I know that im probably never gonna make something like this but I enjoy watching you doing it XD. You´re underrated af bro.
Thanks man

Another time-saving approach: Instead of manually erasing each note, maybe paste a blank block of lines, one note wide, over the note to be deleted?
