🎵 Python Audio Reactive Visualizer

An audio-reactive visual generator built with Python, OpenCV and MoviePy.

This tool transforms a static image (or the first frame of a video) into a dynamic, music-driven visual experience.
Designed for ambient, artistic and cinematic content.

✨ Features

• 🎵 Audio spectrum analysis (low / mid / high bands)
• 🔍 Reactive zoom based on audio energy (RMS)
• 🌊 Liquid warp effect driven by low frequencies
• 💡 Glow effect driven by high frequencies
• 🎥 Cinematic pan movement
• 🌑 Subtle vignette for depth
• 🎬 H.264 video export (MP4)

🎬 Example

python Respira.py --image artwork.png --audio music.mp3 --out output.mp4

| Parameter      | Description                         |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `--image`      | Input image (jpg/png)               |
| `--video`      | Input video (first frame extracted) |
| `--audio`      | Audio file (mp3/wav/m4a)            |
| `--out`        | Output file name                    |
| `--w`          | Output width (default: 1920)        |
| `--h`          | Output height (default: 1080)       |
| `--fps`        | Frames per second (default: 30)     |
| `--base_zoom`  | Base zoom level                     |
| `--zoom_range` | Zoom reaction strength              |
| `--pan`        | Camera pan intensity                |
| `--warp`       | Liquid distortion intensity         |
| `--glow`       | Glow intensity                      |

🧠 How It Works

The script performs:

Audio loading and spectral analysis using librosa

Frequency band separation:

Low frequencies → warp

Mid frequencies → pan movement

High frequencies → glow

RMS energy → zoom

Frame-by-frame image processing using OpenCV

Final encoding with MoviePy (H.264 + AAC)

The motion is smoothed for an ambient and cinematic feel.
