AUVideoPlayer

Last Halloween a world wide collective of musicians from the IPad music makers AudioBus Forum collaborated on a new score for the classic horror movie Vampyr. I used this app inside AUM to live score my contribution to the soundtrack. Very, very pleased with the result. It made what could have been a tricky task very easy and creative. A great app!

I purchased AU Video Player a few months ago and realised the potential that the app had. As a musician and a video creator I wanted the opportunity to create a piece of video and then score it in a music DAW like Cubasis, GarageBand or Nanostudio 2, but couldn’t find anything. I approached Hiroshi and asked for the ability to be able to see my video in the host DAW while working on another midi or audio track. Hiroshi began to experiment, included me in the beta testing and here you have it in version 2, PinP support. I can now score to my films on my IPad. Result. Hiroshi is so attentive to the needs of his customers too. Thank you so much Hiroshi for this great app.

I gave 4 originally, but you have responded quickly with the two important updates to be able to loop and now access photo library. So, now I can really make better use of this very user-friendly and accessible app 👍🏽👏🏽

I am pleased it is now possible to compose music to video directly in Aum...so well done developer. Please continue to develop functionality and keep those 5 star reviews combining in 👏👏👏🎩👍🦄 Limbic

The Picture in Picture feature is amazing and essential! Thank you!! 🙏

It is a very basic player that syncs with the host app playback, in my case Cubasis 3. I write music to video a lot and this is awesome to get a rough scratch idea. I wouldn’t trust that it is frame accurate to sync my final composition, but it is good for getting a rough music idea down to a video on the go. I write on my laptop normally using Cubase Pro 11 but this app makes Cubasis 3 a great music scoring scratch pad. It has a basic layout: play, sync to host, import video, and that’s it. It will load the audio track of the video as well. It has no website or additional info (personal grip), I like to know about who I am buying from. My main grip is sometimes the video playback stutters.

I’ve tested the player in a multitude of different ways, and while there are some major limitations at this juncture, this app is freakin’ amazing! Voiceovers in AUM alone is so worth the price. The developer has stated there is more to come and I think if they can make it more friendly with the DAW’s then this could up the level up the whole audio/video ability to create on the iPad in general. I think if you are here, looking at this, then you already have an idea of how you’d use it. If you a looking to justify the price, I think I paid more for coffee this morning and it’s long gone. This has the potential to change my life.

This looks promising and works as advertised.
