Dude I've been looking for a tutorial for animating speakers for soooooo long so glad I found you

[@OliverRandorff]

MOON'S DONUTS glad I could help!

[@calanm7880]

This is a master class! Superb on every level. One of the best - scaling the music key frames was awesome, never knew that!

[@OliverRandorff]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it and learned something new 🙌

[@inthem-a-king]

Brilliant work 💎

[@paulcdn3944]

[@OliverRandorff]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@martidodger7106]

Hi! This tutorial is EXACTLY what I was looking for and I am so happy that I found it! Thank you so much for this! Question: is there a way to build this project in a way that it can be customizable? Like if I had multiple objects and different songs, and wanted to just swap out the asset layers and the music, that the objects can still react to the beat? Or is this a sort of project where I can only build out so much ahead of time, since the auto key frames will be different each time?

[@heycezer]

You made this look easy - thank you 🙏🏾

[@OliverRandorff]

C Dot hope it’s of use!

[@heycezer]

Totally .. while watching I was already thinking of songs I was gonna visualize using this technique - peeped your other videos and they’re all top notch - it’s like LEGO pieces. Was scared of after effects expression (I still am) but I think I have the courage now to try something PS: it was such an aha moment (so this is how most visualized audios are made) - thanks a ton for this quality stuff.

[@OliverRandorff]

C Dot Thank you so much! Expressions can be scary, but you really have to start experimenting to realise the full potential. Just keep going :)

[@heycezer]

Best wishes wherever you are and looking forward to -the- more of your stuffs

[@apnajakatayy]

Good job bro keep it up

[@OliverRandorff]

Thanks man, will do!

[@apnajakatayy]

Can you make a tutorial on procedural explainer video?

[@IsionIndustries]

You are one of the best at making tutorials. You explain concepts really in depth. I watched your skillshare class on text animation. I love how you talk about physics and relate it to motion design. Is there an email or somewhere I can message you

[@OliverRandorff]

Ision Industries Thank you so much for the kind words, really means a lot! My email is [e-mail]

[@user-cb6kk2zs5u]

cool

[@f1xzor]

Sadly when I select all the keyframes inside the graph editor I don't have the resize box (or whatever it called). Great video overall, thanks!

[@zpotek]

I think the in the new version of AE the key frames converted from sounds, acts differently wen you're trying to drag and adjust them. Also, how do I enable the transform box on the key frames on the audio amplitude? There is similar grey area, but when I hover over the edge, I don't get the option to drag to scale. Can anyone let me know if you know how to fix?

[@ahmedhussien-hf6bw]

Nice video

[@OliverRandorff]

ahmed hussien Thanks Ahmed!

[@TheHardRage13]

Why i cant drag the keyframes up when selected only to the side

[@iammxm218]

great tutorial :o one question, did you draw that speaker first in illustrator or directly in after effects?

[@OliverRandorff]

Thanks! I drew it in illustrator and imported it into after effects using an extension called Overlord :)

[@brixtonwest1734]

hi Oliver, this is a great vid; but how did you select and drag all the audio key frames upwards? no matter how many times, it just stretches them, or moves just one frame for me, even though i selected all of them....thanks !

[@OliverRandorff]

Brixton West make sure you are viewing the value graph when doing this.

[@demiansinkler]

Hi! You do a great job, thanks a lot! Could you please share project files for tutorials also for older version of AE?

[@OliverRandorff]

The link for the project file is in the description. I can only upload for CC 2020 I’m afraid, as that’s the version I’m running.

[@demiansinkler]

@@OliverRandorff you can save project for older versions of AE, file > save as > save a copy as CC 14

[@OliverRandorff]

@@demiansinkler Why don't you update After Effects?

[@demiansinkler]

@@OliverRandorff it's too expensive for me now, and I am just a beginner, much things to learn to be a professional motion designer. My older version of AE just for studying)

[@deslmomd2348]

hi, sorry friend if i parented the scale parameter to the slider, scale go to 0.0 in silent wave. knowing that i parented in high wave as u did. can u help pls?

[@OliverRandorff]

Without knowing more, it can be hard to help. I'm not sure what went wrong.

[@SlamTheDragonPersonal]

I just want to affect the lower frequencies, how will that be?

[@OliverRandorff]

You would have to play around with it, as I’m not quite sure. I usually experiment to get whatever I’m working on to actually look like what I want.

[@axintecostel3271]

Mine after 30 sec it's stop ,what im do wrong

[@-The-Golden-God-]

My graph goes from -500 up to 600 and it doesn't allow me to click and drag vertically. I'm using After Effects 2021.

[@chesslearner79]

use value graph instead of speed

[@bea027]

AAAHH!
