These are text-to-video.

I have no experience with any of these. This is a combination of FREE, FREE TRIAL and PAID.

Thanks, but of the 3 free ones, 2 were business-oriented, not really AI at all, just stock images, and one said my Windows 10 wouldn't work with it, although its up to date.
 
I need one of those like you used to get on windows player years back sort of fractals/ oscilloscope trace type. They seem to have vanished. Or lissajous type.

Do you mean the "visualization" in Media Player? Different graphics would pulsate with the music played in Player? Windows 10 still has it. I found it in Windows 11 also. In Win 11, hitting the Windows Key, then typing Media Player should bring up the current Media Player and Media Player Legacy (this has the graphic visualizations). Selecting the Legacy allows for making Media PLayer Legacy available. Then it's a chore to figure out access to the visualizations, but I played around with that and finally found it.

Open Legacy, select View from the header menu, select Skin, right-click the blue area at the bottom skin's header (or bottom header), select Visualizations and go from there. There are several to work with and more can be downloaded. Other menu items will show Visualizations and appear to let you select them but they're dead ends. Working from the Skin headers gets to the proper items.

Nope. Not in my Win 10. And googling it shows it only in 11.

Just to clarify . . . is it Media Player you can't find, or Visualizations within Media Player?

My WIn 10 & 11 computers came with the old Legacy Windows Media Player and the newer Media Player. I didn't add the programs/apps. I did find this for anyone wanting to add them to their system :

Here's the legacy Media Player : See attachment below

If it doesn't show up when you press the Windows Key and type "media player", it's probably not installed. . . unless it's hidden somehow (unlikely).

The link I provided above will get you the old Media Player and the MS Store has the new Media Player (featureless compared to the old - useless, IMO). If you go to the MS Store for the new Media Player, make sure it's the Microsoft app because there are a bunch of similarly named third party apps .

No, that link is to MS, and it just lets me open the new Media Player, no options anywhere of the Legacy, which is not on my Win 10 machine (I bought refurbished). Are your computers 64 bit? I see the Winamp is still for x86, but it installed easily. Now how can I capture the Winamp 'visualization' to make a video?

OOps! Twicky wabbit. I edited the previous post and added an attachment .zip file for the legacy Media Player.

I'm all 64 bit on this end. I'm not familiar with the Winamp version, but it appears to offer much more refined and polished graphics.

Here's a few examples of Windows legacy Media Player's visualizations. There are lots of them included with the program but mostly they're just variations on two or three themes - and certainly not up to today's standards.
