HD Tutorial: iTunes Visualizer

2009-04-21
hey what's up everyone it's Marcus Brownlee from mkbhd and Tutera today we're going to be doing a tutorial on how to get the iTunes visualizer so this is obviously a tutorial that implies or that applies to both Mac and PC users what we're gonna do if you if you haven't heard of this already I did do this video earlier and I try to post this as a video response because when I did this the first time I was using camstudio so now that I have Camtasia Studio 6 hopefully this won't be as frame II it'll be good quality and you can see everything so that's really I'm gonna maximize this because the visualizer does look better maximized so we're gonna do is obviously pick a song I'm just gonna play this soft blues song in the background and now that the song is actually playing I don't know if you can hear it or not we'll see at the end of the recording I'm actually in order to choose first of all the type of visualizer go up here to the iTunes toolbar and go to view and go to choose the visualizer you can either choose the iTunes visualizer or the iTunes classic visualizer so first of all we'll see what it looks like when we use the iTunes visualizer just hit show visualizer and there you go now I apologize if it is a little bit framing because the the screen recording won't pick up every frame but that is what the visualizer looks like so now if we go and hide the visualizer again and what I'm going to do actually now is go to video visualizer and go to classic visualizer so now when we go back up to view and visualizer you see the options menu which was grayed out before is actually open for us to click if I click it we can say cap first of all display frame rate and I may or may not we can cap the frame rate at 30 frames per second I'm going to uncheck that always display song info use DirectX and faster but rougher display those are the options we can choose from the classic visualizer so now that I hit OK I'm going to view the classic visualizer again go to view and show visualizer and this shortcut is available using ctrl T so here's the iTunes classic visualizer obviously these sounds coming out of the Apple logo and it might be a little framing again but I hope you do get the idea that that is how you show the visualizer iTunes so if I pause it you can see the Rings stop really moving all that much because the sound has stopped if I the play button again we'll get out of those rings emulating or coming out of the Apple once again so there we go that's how you show the visualizer I'm gonna go ctrl T here to hide the visualizer and that is basically it so I hope you liked this HTT tutorial I hope it helped you guys if you are trying to get that iTunes visualizer working if you just want to full screen and at a party or a disco jam whatever you're doing that's how you get the iTunes visualizer I hope this tutorial was helpful if you do have any requests feel free to subscribe and message me and I'll try to do a request video for you so again this has been an HD tutorial from mkbhd thanks for watching peace
