This crashes on macOS for me: > … not valid for use in process: mapped file has no cdhash, completely unsigned? Code has to be at least ad-hoc signed.

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

Could you post an issue with the details on the issue tracker? https://github.com/Hyperchroma/hyperchroma/issues

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.

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.

Ooh, glad to hear, I wish you all the luck with the project 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 int…

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

I’m on iOS, the trailer from the website does not load for me. Do you have the video on YouTube?

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.

> it doesn't output videos as files

Er, might I ask why not? Be a lot cooler if it did...
