Oh, sorry. There's some stuff from U&I software on the Mac that can read in
a video file and output audio - maybe just digital audio
http://www.uisoftware.com/ . It's commercial stuff, however.
And I can tell you about a few algorithmic composition tools that will scan
a bitmap and extract data that can be used to generate MIDI notes - but not
an animation.
Let me know what you come up with.
Best,
Dennis
