om midi, an Otomad/YTPMV assistant script for After Effects. It is a script that automatically converts MIDI files to keyframes in After Effects. Hope that with the help of om midi, people can be rescued from tedious aligning video and audio, and put more energy into more creative works.
Thanks to original script creators @David Van Brink (omino), @Dora (NGDXW), @Z4HD for their efforts. And this repository is modified based on Z4HD's repository om_midi_NGDXW_zh.
The current project is rewritten using new technologies like TypeScript based on legacy scripts.
Spelling conventions for "om midi": All lowercase letters, even at the beginning of a sentence, however can be ignored where the context is all uppercase; words are separated by spaces instead of underscores.

Except v1.2, no version tags are given for others. So those version tags are defined by myself.
