Practicing pieces on the piano and doing it perfectly is satisfying. I know some people (like me) wants to make these Synthesia top down videos themselves but this tutorial is still helpful in so many ways. However if you do not have these kinds of equipment and materials, don’t lose hope. Be creative and resourceful. Make use of anything around your house in order to get the same outcome as these professional setups. Remember that performance is the one being monitored, not how the setup looks like. Of course, a better setup has a more visual appeal but in the end, it’s how you manage to deliver the play ❤️🔥
Summary: if you want to create these kind of video, you need: 1. Piano skill 2. Video editing skill 3. 3D software skills 4. Video shooting skills 5. Audio engineering skill, 6. Motivation. 🙂
There’s no need to audio engineer skills and 3d software some free and motivation is your skill issue not everyone’s and if you don’t have piano skill why you even here and it’s just basic video editing
This is such a great video! Exactly what I needed. I've recently gotten back into piano and I've noticed that I seem to forget some older pieces after learning a couple of new ones, so I wanted to record each new piece that I've mastered to "keep it" in some ways. I think it's also a great way to document my progress over a few months and years. I've always wanted to do these top-down piano videos and this video helped me so much, trying to set up everything up today.
Thank you Eric for sharing your music video production secrets. Excellent clear instructions and video. The final piano key light show results look quite magical.
Ahh if only theres a video like this before I started making videos. Really informative, clears most of the confusion for people that want to learn more about midi and editing
Yo this was helpful! Have the same problem with the window light. It's only good to record at a certain time of the day, which sucks. Will definitely try those lights. Thanks!
Damn, I was hoping they made “guitar hero” style digital pianos these days. Evidently not, mind blown at your level of effort. Excellent work, keep it up!
Damn. You are so good at teaching. I do not have piano, do not play piano, and knew nothing about piano. But i finished your videi until the end. Interesting indeed
Hi Eric Lee Thank you so much for encouraging us to make professional videos like yours. I was very surprised and happy to know that there are people like you who have this greatness to pass on knowledge. I have a 6 year old son and he is very advanced on the keyboard, which brings me a lot of joy. And after your video you encouraged me to do a more professional life. I've watched your video more than 50 times, I didn't know any software that presented it, but believe me, I'm already doing my gradations..kkk. One thing I didn't understand and if you can answer me is: Why the need for the Rode VMGO Microphone, if you're recording straight through the cable on the laptop? And another question: My keyboard has a micro usb output, can I record directly through a vst, with midi extension or do I need the midi editor? When recording with the camera from above, does it record midi too? Does it indicate a free piano vst? Thank you so much and congratulations! ps: sorry for the english, i'm using the translator.
Hi Lizenon! Thank you for the kind message and using a translator, the english is fine! If you're recording your audio straight through the cable on the laptop, you do not need a rode (or any) microphone. I sometimes use my rode microphone to record a grand piano if it's not a digital piano. You don't have to use midi editor, you can also use a daw (digial audio workstation) like fl studio, reaper, or ableton to also record your midi. I don't think you can record your midi directly to a vst (I haven't done it before). When you use the camera from above, the camera doesn't record the midi. The camera records the visual of my hands playing the piano. Using midi editor or a different software will record the midi. Try googling or youtubing for free vsts if you're looking for one. Hope this helps!
wow thank you for this tutorial , I've worked with MIDI for years and always thought "I'll figure out how these guys are doing this" and I never did figure it out ... (I didn't even know how to search a term to look into it ! ) eventually I searched "Cool MIDI graphics" and your video shows up ; lmao ! this is fascinating , thanks again
I wish an actual piano like that existed. It’s like playing a rhythm game but on the grander scale. I’d love to have a piano with that kind of a screen you could feed scripts into and play with.
That's awesome! I've been working on some piano videos of my own, and I have a much different setup. Instead of a lit room, or one with a studio lighting, I use an RGB strip, and complete darkness. To record my hands, i use my phone camera, which is a Samsung A7 5G phone :3 For the visual, i have Embers, made by LyricWulf, which looks fantastic, but is $20 per month. But I also use Reaper and Davinci Resolve!
Great tutorial - one piece of advice, why don't you eliminate the middle man and record straight into your DAW? It seems like an unnecessary hassle to go from piano to midi editor to DAW...
Damn, actual tutorial that shows everything, and explains easily. Although I don't have the equipment yet.. I did save this for the day i will have the equipment. It did help me in Da Vinci tho, I recently started on Da Vinci! Nice vid! Also 'video is sponsored by like button'😆😆
@@buries_r try adjusting the pitch and yaw in your recorded video/keyboard in your video editor and then upload to seemusic and scale. hope that helps!
@@EricPiano got it, thanks. And how to make light on key when it’s pressed, like in Rousseau videos ? It’s software editing or LED lent ? I guess it’s LED, cause light falls on his fingers too

Thank you Sickaroony!
@@EricPiano hi thanks, I have a question. Can u also take the black screen behind the notes away, to see only the notes falling and your own piano?
@@acfg9095 you should be able to hide the black background. I haven’t done it before but you want to mask the black background in post production
I love this piano covers and always wonder how they do this vfx. Thanks for this video.
Wow. Your dive into the "editing magic" and the breakdown is such a nice surprise. Thanks for showing us the logic :)

Thank you Erica!
Thanks a lot for the helpful video! One question i have is how do you record midi for grand piano if using microphone? Thanks~
This is seriously the best tutorial I've watched , bravo!
thanks JawJX!
@@EricPiano thanks, can you also make a video from the side, so not from above??
@@acfg9095 yes! You can make a video from the side, you’d have to distort the notes falling in post production
@@EricPiano can I do that in see music for windows?
Thanks? Can you also rotate the keyboard position? So the keyboard of seemusic, not my own keyboard.
Thanks so much dude!

How to remove watermark in see music app
Pay to remove watermark
Great tutorial - one piece of advice, why don't you eliminate the middle man and record straight into your DAW? It seems like an unnecessary hassle to go from piano to midi editor to DAW...
Super informative vid! Love it! I can’t decide on a video format for my piano vids lmao
Thanks Ryan! Haha that's okay, I can't decide a video format either :)
Thank you. But why can’t you just record directly from the saw from the get go ? Instead of doing all those midi exporting stuff ,?
Awesome, now time to learn piano lol
Have fun!
Is there a way to add note names as labels to particles while falling? it gives it more educational aspect and People can play along with the video.
Great thank you
