Yes, the UI is all from scratch. My inspiration was from seeing other audio-reactive videos on Youtube, but those were rendered with either Adobe After Effects or a 3D program like Blender. I wanted to build something that was easy for the average person to use.
If you simply drop in a song, it will render in realtime. You don't have to render it to a video. I am working on a "live" mode that will act much like Winamp, where you would select a playlist of songs and have it cycle effects.
Hi everybody, I'm the creator of Astrofox. Surprised to see this here, but I'll be glad to answer any questions.
Astrofox has been my side project for several years now. It's basically my playground for trying out things like Electron, React and WebGL. It's open-source, MIT licensed, and totally free to use.
