So, I decided to do these videos from the performer's point of view. For more about this feature, see the main conducting patterns page.

Bounce Metronome Pro Settings used for the videos on this page

skip back

I might add this "look" as a preset to Bounce Metronome Pro in a future upload.

Meanwhile here is how to set it up to show the animations just as in these videos:

Notice how you can hear the beats stereo pan to left and to right to follow the motion of the batons. You can switch that feature on in the Stereo Pan (Ctrl + 50) window - switch on Auto Pan and then in the How to Auto Pan drop list, select Follow the Bouncing Balls.

If you want the appearance of a white conductor's baton as in these videos, then switch on Cone only (hide bouncing balls) in Bouncing Balls - 3D Visuals (Ctrl + 226) and set it to PURE WHITE.

Then still in Bouncing Balls - 3D Visuals (Ctrl + 226), if you want to hide the tempo dial as in these videos, select Image instead of Image and Tempo Dial from the Tempo Dial and Sky drop list.

Then to hide the blocks etc for a simpler look, switch off Blocks, parts strips etc in the same window.

Tweaking

To make the movements of the baton larger as for this page, vary the "Compress hits towards focal point in Bounce Patterns (Ctrl + 227) according to preference.

Also adjust the horizontal and vertical scale in Bouncing Balls - 3D Visuals (Ctrl + 226). Then to adjust the position within the window (or exported video) you can use Alt + right click to drag on the 3D Bounce window.

Oh and I also unselected the Blue with Distance option in the More version of Bouncing Balls - 3D Visuals (Ctrl + 226) - just because for some reason the Blue with Distance feature makes the sky less contrasty when you export it to a saved video (I think because for some reason the export to video uses a slightly earlier version number of OpenGL).
