I've been looking into adding videos to Stepmania simfiles, particularly for songs released in DDR games that have music videos by the artists but that weren't used in the DDR games.

The following songs are finished and ready:

This set of songs are those for which I found a Raw Video for the full song, but it needs to be edited down into the in-gamer cut and scripted. Videos available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-jV2eRGSOO4OGw4ScXt90EIWs702xaZF?usp=sharing

2nd Mix:

Boom^2 Dollar /King Kong and D Jungle Girls
Smoke /Mr. Ed Jumps the Gun

Tubthumping /Chumbawamba

3rd Mix / Korean:
Follow The Sun /Triple J
Get Up And Dance /Freedom [*]
Hogisim /Hans Band
Starian /Duke

I have done this a lot, often with fan videos. But I have done the same thing with official music videos.

Nice! I will give those a try!

All the while, if you or anyone else has more, bring 'em! I might clip some more if I can find the original videos.

They match with the simfiles offset? in this case #BGCHANGES:0.000 ?


* if possible can you make a cut for follow the sun, never gonna make or shooting star, i will be grateful.

I've tested 3 videos from your folder : mr.wonderfull, get up (before the night is over) and get up and dance, the only that is synchorined is get up and dance. The others is not in the right offset and the singers lips is offsync, can you share the .sm, .scc file with the vids?
Siga me os Bons..

I understand this, and that is why my OP is filled with disclaimers. This is a work in progress, and help filing down the last of the edges would be helpful. I haven't actually set up SM or SSC files for them yet. I might try to, but I figured I'd start by offering up the rough drafts of the videos.

And: Daniel, if you can recommend me a program to clip the vids more precisely, that'd help!

Update. I will see about clipping videos when I have time, but for now, I listed the Raw Videos I've found, and if anyone wants to try to clip for them the in-game cuts of the songs, speak here.

I have already done a lot of these. Please list your sources for the videos too as I often use DVD as a source. Some of the songs listed I never did because a suitable video can not be found.

Oh: share the ones you've done, please!

Almost all of them are on YouTube. I could gather links, though I also saved them just in case, and so they can be edited at a later date.

OP has been updated with Links to completed songs and to a list of videos for which I found but have yet (to my knowledge) be clipped for the in-game cuts of the songs.

I've got a lot going now but I might try to clip some of the videos on the list. All the while, they're available for anyone who wants to ready them for Stepmania. Upon completion the finished video and simfile will be added to the OP with a credit.

I was doing this a few years ago, I added videos to Sunlight, Cotton Eye Joe, Will I? 5,6,7,8, Drifting Away and more.
If you're going to re-cut it, It's Raining Men Almighty Mix is the same speed as the original video! So that'll be an easy one to do Big Grin

While I haven't tried those videos yet, I was hoping that they were made to sync at beat zero so that those who don't prefer to use them won't have issues displaying in game.

I have a few I made myself, though some of them may not have passable quality at least from your POV.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j5wc8f7cupc7grq/AACKx1oCknw8jU2Lqust9Thza?dl=0

Please take note of the ff.

-All songs, except for 7 Things, use the old difficulty rating (1-10).
-Butterfly has a video for a banner.
-I couldn't time Right Now properly.
-He Said She Said uses the original video, which was released after DDR SuperNOVA 2 was released. The brightness was reduced to prevent the flashing lights from straining our eyes too much.

On a side note, if anyone has the promotional video of I Do I Do I Do by Creamy, please post here (not getting my hopes up). It's so rare that YouTube doesn't have it.

Excellent; I'll add these to the OP probably tomorrow or Monday, with a credit of course. And hey, I'll take what I can get for now, and if higher quality originals can be found for any of them, we'll see about a re-cut. I didn't think to look for post Max 2 USA vids since that was the first game to start using them, but per the He Said She Said example, I can see now that there may be some from the newer era to add after all!

An update:

So I've been testing the added videos we have so far. They look great, but I noticed that some worked fine, but there were also a few that caused frame drops and crashes after a while. I even repeated the experiment and got the same results in particular songs. Then I compared the working videos to the ones that crashed the game and found a reason.

It seems Stepmania works well with AVIs, but struggles when there's MP4 files. It might be my specific setup though, as I have yet to test them on computers other than the one I use for my arcade cab. I might convert the files and post AVI versions, though I'm also kind of hoping that future versions of Stepmania are made to handle MP4 and MPG video files better.

OP updated with DarkFeline's arrangements.

So, I found an old torrent from 2007/2008 on a CD-rom that has a lot of my old simfiles, I said to a friend a few days back that I'd open it just in case, and I checked a moment ago and it's on 5.95% so, I'll re-cut some of these videos, I noticed the pack has some 2UNLIMITED as well Big Grin
