GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Can I Add A Pic To A Wav

Posted by: Phil66 Dec 23 2015, 10:30 PM

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to somehow embed a picture so that when you play a .wav file, the picture comes up in the player?

Cheers

You can't embed graphics in a .wav file. For that reason, I usually mix down to .aif, which does permit embedded graphics. That said, if you're just trying to get a graphic to display in your player, it probably (depending on what player you're using) has a way to display a non-embedded graphics file when the .wav file is played.

Thanks Rammikin,
What I'm doing is putting all of my collabs and creativity workshop takes into a folder. The creativity ones would be nice to see the picture it was created for. I guess I need to create an mp4?

You can just place a picture in a folder where the mp3 belongs and almmost every player will show that picture, but I don't think this can be done for a picture for each song.

Yeah, video might be easier. Reaper is capable of this as far as know.

Thanks Mertay,
Yeah I wanted a different pic for each tune.
Cheers

If you have to use .wav instead of .aif, probably the simplest thing to do is make a .mp3 copy of the .wav, embed the graphic in that, and play the .mp3 file instead of the .wav file.

Thanks Rammikin,
I'll have a look how to do that
Cheers
