Keynote and iTunes visualizer

I asked this over in the iTunes area but was sent here for your thoughts.

About 3 years ago, I was speaking at a conference that included group singing (a Christian conference). The tech team was using a program that allowed them to integrate iTunes visualizer with the powerpoint slides. In essence, the music of the band was playing, the visualizer was somehow connected to that music (dancing along as it does to the beat) and over it all they had the words of the song.

Does anyone have any idea if you know of a program that helps with that? Any ideas of how that could be done using KN?

if you're sure it was iTunes, and not something else, they probably used a video switcher/mixer and overlayed the text from one computer onto the background from another.

The other poossiblity is that they used an app like Easyworship or Mediashout (both are windows only though) to take a video clip that looked to you like itunes, and put that behind the lyrics. There ARE mac apps that can do this with canned video, though they just aren't as slick yet as the pc apps that are out there.

I maintain a list if you're interested:

Well, it's quite possible to take a mac laptop, run the iTunes visualizer out the SVHS port, into a dv camcorder or other dv converter and back in the firewire port on a second mac. You could then run Song Screen Liquid and use that to take the firewire signal back in and drop lyrics over it. That's probably the cheapest way I know how to do this if you've got 2 macs.
