.exe won't open?

[zafkiel-P]

I don't know if I'm missing a step or something, but when I try to run syn2midi, it doesn't do anything. I am on Windows. I downloaded the .zip file and extracted them to a location. I assume once the exe opens I can input the "syn2midi -m mask.bmp -i Every27Years.mp4 -o Every27Years.midi -l (40,96,167)(112,167,211)(252,182,92)(246,126,16) -r (237,120,122)(232,79,78)(140,242,44)(92,170,11)" line (replacing -m part with mask, -i part with my input and -o with the midi output). Just to be sure, does the video need to be in the same folder? Anyway, I am not sure why it won't run. Here's an image of the folder.

Hello. It is a console application and it will not open any windows by itself. You need first open 'cmd.exe'. It is standard windows program, you can find it by pressing Windows button and typing "cmd". Then you need to paste and run commands in it. First, change directory to the one you unpacked syn2midi to, like this: cd C:......\Documents\Applications\syn2midi-v3-win32 (Full correct path you can copy from file explorer) Then you can paste syn2midi... command itself and it should work

Apologies for the reopening issue. I'm getting the massive chord issue when converting the video, as seen in the image below. Is this an issue with the mask (I am using mask88)?

Most likely mask does not fit. When I first tested, long ago, I created these 2 masks: mask.bmp and mask88.bmp. They are not for all videos. Try to create your own mask. The process is described in readme file, it should not take long.
