I'd like to create a video of a MIDI track so a friend can practice on their keyboard. I'd like to have the Big Piano Window included in the video active showing keys being struck as the song plays.
If the RT you're using has a video RT associated with it, it's possible to export the backing straight to video.
Other than that...
If you generated and then froze the track, you could screen-capture the track as it played. The track could then be exported as audio and the video and audio could be matched in a suitable video editor. This wouldn't be hard to do at all.
Thanks Noel! It is only a MIDI track I am interested in and not an RT.
I already tried video capturing the screen and reintegrating it with audio in a video editor. The problem is it is really difficult to exactly line up the video and audio. I tried several times and it always seemed to drift out of synch over the 5 minute duration of the song. And the moment the highlighted piano keys don't match the audio it becomes useless as a teaching tool.
I was hoping this could be output to video with the Big Piano window intact for a perfectly synced video.
Thanks Pipeline. I downloaded three different free ones and none of them would capture audio along with the video. So I tried capturing video, exporting audio and then integrating them in video editor but did not get useful results. Lots of trial and error and the finished video would not keep them synched prolly because I did not have them perfectly lined up.
Do you know of a free capture program that will also get audio? I own an older version of Camtasia and it will work but I don't wanna pull it out of mothballs and install it!
Active Presenter https://atomisystems.com/download/ will record audio with the video, you can slide the track to the left after to sync if there is delay.

Thanks so much for this suggestion! Active Presenter worked like a charm recording screen and audio perfectly synched and then saved out to mp4!
Yes I gave it ago as well works very well. But wont record the Audio for me if I use My AKAI pro interface Asio driver. However if I use MME driver for the program I am trying to screen capture with sound it works fine and also with Bandlabs Cakewalk This is probably due to Asio driver only allowing one instance. Still as I say fine with onboard sound chip and hd sound driver for my big screen sound. So nice find thanks Pipeline! Mike

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
