[@romanarti]

Best one!!! Is it possible to manipulate color change the same method? Or move an object (lighting with transparent bg) around shadowed background?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

The color part is a bit tricky, use hue/saturation effect and link master hue to the slider, as for moving anything it's done with the same steps shown in the video

[@joshallen-craig8226]

Great vid! I'm trying to automate the opacity and it'd working... but I want it to only react to the loudest sound (the kick) When I try to add +[100 + 100] or anything else, it says "temp is not defined" and disables the expression :{ What can I do to turn down the sensitivity of the reaction so it only picks up the kick? 🙏

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

The thing is opacity only goes up to 100, you've got to use like an exposure effect or something else instead

[@alexandredick]

Thanks for this great tutorial, I would like to sync the logo with one specific frequency . Is that possible ? because even if I select a range it's still moving with the volume . Thanks

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Not sure, maybe narrow it down to the extent that it doesn't move

[@jamieclay007]

Is there some way to smooth the values between the limits so it doesn't just jump?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Unforntunately not, since the values in the expression are linear

[@artemus80j.4]

Hi is there a way to use control slider with this effects?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Sure, you can add control sliders into expressions

[@skyhylands]

can this be used to change the speed of the clip?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You could change the speed and then make it react to audio if that's what you mean

[@whathuh6965]

How do you apply an audio spectrum on a live video or podcast? I don't see a single tutorial on the internet covering this.

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

That has to be some sort of a plugin in a streaming software

[@darksocergamesbr]

how to make the audio react more whit the music ?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Multiply the expression by a higher value

[@KanadeNC]

Is there an way to make the scale smooter in the annimation ?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Try adding smooth instead of linear in the expression

[@KanadeNC]

@SmertimbaGraphics thx ^^ I'll try that, ant thx for the quick answer, dodn't expact that ^

[@luxuryvideoproductions714]

when i add smooth instead of linear in the line of code, it gives me an error and reverts back to what it was before the adjustment, I'm not familiar with coding on AE, is there a specific line you can comment for copy paste? @@SmertimbaGraphics

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Oh right, it has to be linear. Try doing it without the linear() expression, just link the properties so that the reaction would happen for all the values instead of a selected threshold.

[@luxuryvideoproductions714]

@@SmertimbaGraphics i found a work around that fixed this with a short expression. Alt+Right Click Slider, then type “ smooth(.1,21) “ and it worked for me. Smooth as butter, still hitting the beat at the right places.

[@jonahblock]

so this is like using a drum compressor?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

In a way I guess😁

[@wick5956]

Mine says "thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider")" and doesn't include temp, and when I type it out like yours, it says there's an expression error. Any idea why?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Which property are you trying to link, is it scale?

[@GamesExposed]

how do I hook up a flashing effect to the beat

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

you can use exposure effect and hook exposure value

[@GamesExposed]

@@SmertimbaGraphics thanks

[@TomiBoi5]

When I right click on the audio file, I don't get the same menu. I get a larger menu without keyframe assistant

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Are you sure you are right clicking in the right spot because it should come up as shown

[@TomiBoi5]

I apologize. I am brand new. I thought everything was in Adobe premiere. I did get After Effects though. Now we're in business 😊

[@grush999]

[@LEGS_legiana]

What if i want to have 2 seperate audio amplitudes?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Duplicate the layer as many times as needed

[@LEGS_legiana]

@@SmertimbaGraphics no but for like 2 sperate audio files

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yeah you can repeat the process for another audio file, you could have multiple solid layers with the spectrum applied to different audios

[@LEGS_legiana]

@@SmertimbaGraphics ah i get it thanks a bunch

[@sarinenjoyer946]

Is there a way you can do this on premiere pro as well?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Unfortunately Premiere Pro doesn't have capabilities to replicate this, but you can implement it via dynamic link into premiere pro

[@BunnylordMusic]

You gave me the inspiration to make this animation. Thank you! I made the little sunglasses move to the music. Great tutorial! If you want to check out what I made of it you can check the end result here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJappn-ulLWYgKM

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

I liked the video, great use of the effect💯

[@BunnylordMusic]

Thanks!@@SmertimbaGraphics

[@NeurocideVIbeKILLa]

Is there a way for a motion graphic to react to more than one song, like say, multiple songs in a playlist on shuffle?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

As long as the songs are converted into keyframe values then yes
