Great software, PianoVFX is an excellent tool for creating high-quality piano roll videos from MIDI files.
I would like to suggest a feature that could be very useful for tutorial creators: the option to display the note names (for example, C, D, E or C (Do), D (Re), etc.) directly on the keys or falling notes in the video. This would make it much easier for beginners to follow and learn.
Even as an optional overlay setting, this would add great value for educational content creation.
Thank you for your work!
Thank you.
There are a lot of necessary improvments, but this software works!
Is there any way to make it so that the synthesia for the black keys is darker than the synthesia for the white keys?
Not within the app, but you can use any MIDI editor to separate the black keys into a different track and then assign a darker color to that track in Piano VFX.
What do you call synthesia? Is it the background area where notes are falling? Thanks
Great app! There are a few bugs, but it looks very promising. At the moment, I keep running into two bugs consistently: 1) it closes when rendering and doesn't finish the render (toggling with S key didn't help); and 2) after going into the customisation screen where you can customise the colours and effects, there's no way to return to the previous screen.
Thank you for this! I hope you keep working on it and improving it, as I'd love to buy a full license copy once it's out.
the program closes when rendering, despite the fact that the laptop is not weak and all the necessary drivers are installed
The rendering plugin used in Piano VFX has been deprecated for 2 or 3 years, so some PCs might not work. Toggling the window mode by pressing S may help.
It does not help
I have a mac with Catalina... can I download the app with my mac?
