Can the new spectrogram and oscilliscope have clear background
I'm just getting into video editing, I like the new oscilliscope feature and the spectrogram.
Is there a way to make the background clear, or none? I find that blending with an image, it absorbs the background as well, I'm not sure how to avoid that so I can have a clean image overlay with the effect also clearly overlayed without the background. thanks! dave

I do it with a black background. I shared some code with my video that removes black

+1 for background alpha, so you could overlay the spetro / osco with a background video or image.

So, it can't be done yet...? It would be cool if that could be changed like the alpha in the text background. I didn't see the part about removing the black...but if it's code I'll stay away, haha. I don't belong anywhere near code.

You don't need any coding to remove the bagground color from the oscilliscope/spectrogram - justadd an instance of the 'Combine: Chroma-key' preset in the video processor, after the osc/spect (and adjust wich color you wan't removed).
That being said, it would be nice with alpha on the effects in the first place. -W

You just create a FX chain with the following FX: - Video sample peeker (JSFX) for interpreting incoming audio as video info - A video processor with your oscilloscope or spectrometer (But keep the background black.) - At last you put another video processor in the chain but this time you don't choose a preset rather then saving your own. Do the following: copy the following code Code:
// JT: lighten/screen overlay // black is removed. use after inverting color img1=0; img2=input_track(0); gfx_blit(img2); gfx_mode = 1; gfx_blit(img1,0); - Press ctrl+s or similar on mac (This compiles the code and makes it working) - goto the +menu and save it as a new preset aka "Remove black". This process can be found as tutorial here: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=213832 If you want I can send you an example project. Greetings Eli

I tried to add alpha to the grx_set function but this only fades the bg color to the foreground. I'm only a programming noob so ... this needs some more experienced people or Justin himself.

FYI, this also works on the spectrogram!

and anything with a black background.
OR if you write on some paper, film it, invert the image and use that code, you get floating hand-written text in a video.

I can't seem to get this to work. Trying to overlay the spectrogram on a video, but leaving the black area transparent. I must be missing a step or something. :/
My FX chain: JS: video sample peeker Decorative Spectrum Analyzer (requires JSFX video sample peeker Chroma-key (RGB version) - video processor (and/or) JT: lighten/screen overlay - video processor I also tried it with the JS: video sample peeker on my mix track (since the video has no sound), and with it on both the mix track and the video track. So far, no matter what I do, the black area won't go clear so I can see the underlying video. |

Please download the example project from my thread with the ring preset. https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=237528 (First post!) This works for some reasons. You then just replace the oscilloscope with the spectrometer and disable the kaleidoscope. I will take a closer look, if this is really a new bug, because I just put something quickly together without luck. Hope this helps for the moment greetings Elis

I think it will work if the track order is correct.
(it is working in v6.12 on my mac and windows systems)

Ah! Got it. Holy ...!
It only doesn't work at the same track. I never realized that. So if you use three tracks, one for the oscilloscope, one for the video/image and one for the sound it works like expected. Embarrassing! So earhax, it has to be like this order: track 1 (on top) -> video processor with spectrometer -> video processor with black key preset -> video audio peeker track 2 (second) -> your background video or image track 3 (last one) -> your audio routed to track one for the spectrometer This should work. Because I used it all the time. Greetings and blushing Eli
