FFT Video

This JSL makes a video to go with some music.  Usually it would be the other way around:  the music would be selected to match the video.  By selecting the music first, and limiting what the video can look like a bit, I get a set of images that can be combined with the audio (using Blender in this case) to get perfect synchronization.  Once again, the JSL is not cleaned up, but there are some comments sprinkled through it.
