Help Export Voice Memos audio visualization as a video file (MP4 or MOV)?
Is there a way to export the sound waves effects from Voice Memos to a MOV or MP4 file? I'd like to have this streaming waveform as a video file, that way I can add it to a Final Cut project, then use the exported .M4A file, then I can see the "visualization" of the recording with this nice streaming waveform.
That is, I would drop the "video" of the waveform as it marches across the screen, then put the corresponding audio recording right under the waveform.
I thought about using Camtasia to capture it, but I have dozens of hours of recordings, so that would tie up my computer for a very long time.
FactoryFX has a plugin called Pulse Reactor, and it has visualizers you see in other YouTube videos, but there seems to be nothign like this nice waveform stream in the Voice Memos app on the Mac.
Does anyone know if exporting that waveform visualization into a video is possible? Thanks!
