ToTheBeat :: [Pics] -> Song -> [Durations] -> Sexy Montage
ToTheBeat is a Flask webapp that allows a user to upload photos, a song, and, by tapping to the beat of the music, get a montage of the photos changing to the beat of the music.
First, I tried to use OpenCV and QueryFrames to write the video and NumPy to do some crazy liner algebra on the input song to get a best fit curve of the slideshow cuts based on the approximate durations. However, that didn't work so I switched to user-based timing input.
Much of my project's logic is indeed in javascript. However, I did spend many fruitless hours working on beat-detection in python as well as significant time setting up my flask server, backed by pymongo and then hosting my app on heroku (which is non-trival for Flask!) and setting up hosted mongodb on mongolabs.
