[@FrancoisTutos]

Excellent again. Thank you sooo much.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Credit where credit is due! I learned this method from Simon Ubsdell. He put out a tutorial in 2014. I felt it was important to put out this tutorial as there are various UI differences, and I thought I would have a slightly different spin on it. Here is his original tutorial if you are interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWmup6WYrZadnc0

[@TheAudioDabbler]

I have learned a lot from Simon Ubsdell. From what I have researched, you cannot publish the audio stuff inside FCPX. I would love to have an audio visualizer inside FCP that would take the video source audio as its input. But if you make several templates inside of Motion, it would be just as easy to just import the desired audio and export the video for use in FCPX.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

TheAudioDabbler I seriously researched this for so long before making this tutorial and couldn’t find absolutely anything. It seems like it would be an easy feature to add, by having something like an audio drop zone even. Maybe someday Apple will think of us poor creators. Thanks for watching!

[@nelliecharlie6712]

Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! This was my first Motion project and was able to make a visualizer for the latest song we posted. I added a bit of glow and Bad TV effects for a bit of a retro feel. Also duplicated the main group, inverted + skewed it in an attempt to get a reflection which turned out ok, but would be really cool to get the reflection to illuminate a surface for added depth. I was never able to get the project to export directly through Motion so I tried the trick you suggested of converting the project to a Motion "Title" and then used that in Final Cut (adding back the music) and was able to export from there. Looking forward to trying out your other visualizer examples and hopefully more to come!

[@MrEcted]

This is perfect for what I'm working on! I just started getting into Motion just yesterday and have been binging your Motion playlist. Easiest sub ever! Thanks for all the great content, I'm completely new to Motion and this type of thing is a great first project and fits in so well with what I'm trying to do.

This is incredibly helpful. Does anyone know if we can save the template to use with other songs and simply replace the audio? I feel like we would need to replace the audio for every replication individually. I'm not sure if there is an easier way.

Unfortunately, at least as of right now, there isn't. Though you could make one of the other visualizers I have made. They are both much simpler than this one, but still react to audio. They visually look very different however. If that interests you, you can check them out here 1.

Great tutorial. How can you publish this as a plugin to fcpx so you can drop any audio on it to generate this audioscope?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thanks so much! Unfortunately this (at the moment) isn't possible due to some limitations Motion has in place. Currently the audio parameters can't apply within Final Cut Pro. It's super frustrating and I hope that Apple changes that at some point. Just know, the second they do I will be dropping a tutorial for it!

[@vinceburrito]

Hey great video! But i keep running into the same problem. By 7:57 i notice that even when there is no sound coming from a given frequency, one of the five bars in the replicator copy are always peaking out instead of disappearing like the other bars in the copy. Has anyone else found a way around this?

[@Itspronouncedoshay]

Great video bro! It's a lot harder to find videos for motion 5 than it is for after effects. I ALSO had looked at the Simon Ubsdell video over a year ago and that's what got me started but I definitely learned some new stuff from you!

@@TheFinalCutBro yessir

[@nicolaithecreative]

Hey Dylan, thanks for the great tutorial! Do you know if there's a way to change the song for all of the audio sections at once?

[@universemediallc]

Keep in mind: If you're using an entire song (4-5 minutes), it will take SEVERAL minutes to analyze the audio (PER LAYER) each time you change the frequency range. SO this process may take well over an hour.

[@matthoughton3680]

Yeah. And it means that to do this for dialogue in a 45 minute podcast is utterly unworkable. By contrast, I can create an audio visualiser in Reaper that calculates the graphics in real time on playback. I don't get why Motion takes so incredibly long to calculate the amplitude envelope of an audio file; it's a trivial calculation!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Hey Fam! If you enjoyed this tutorial, I just made a second audio visualizer tutorial showcasing an entirely different format for displaying your music! It's a Particle Based Music Visualizer. If that interests you, check it out here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ-QnXhpmMyYp8U

[@Warthog71]

I love it. However for a 3 minute audio clip, its like 60gb. I am going back in to create the project as 1080p for a lower file size. do you have any suggestions? I have to make up 10 3min seg for a 30 min podcast to vide

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Holy smokes that's massive! I would likely recommend making sure you are not exporting to something like ProRes 4444 HQ. You could definitely export to an h.264 format and likely shrink the size down immensely. However, if you are needing an alpha channel, you may need to go the ProRes 4444 route. BUT another suggestion would be to save the effect as a title, then load it into Final Cut Pro. While you won't be able to transfer the music from Motion OR change the music in Final Cut, the audio animations should still apply to the clip. So you would have a transparent background, without the need for a massive export. Just make sure the "Title Background" clip is deleted before saving to a title. Hopefully that will save you some valuable hard drive space!

[@Warthog71]

@@TheFinalCutBro thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will export it to h.264. Motion was taking an insane amount of time to analyze the 30min file, which is why I also opted to break it down to 3min segments. Perhaps now I won’t have to. I’m running a 2019 IMac Pro, and was saddened by how long it was taking. Also, I do not need the background. Saving it as a title will get it done! The file is just a phone call interview for my channel with a author, and I figured that it would be cool to use the visualizer. I really appreciate the help!

Great Job Man! I just did the whole sequence right now and I was wondering if is there possible to add a dropzone in audio and publish it as FCPX Generator!! Thanks

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Thanks so much! Unfortunately at this time there is not :( It's due to a limitation where drop-zone audio doesn't connect with the Motion parameters put in place. I'm not sure why this is, but I am hoping someday Apple changes that. It would seriously be such a game changer!

[@robotbarbarian]

Once again - thank you for another wonderful, and well laid out, tutorial!! I’ve really been inspired to learn more about Motion through your instruction. Before I get working on this one. I’m wondering if the actual visualizer, when complete, will be able to be overlaid in to an existing video I have? Meaning, would the background of the visualizer be transparent? Thanks!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Yes it can! I recommend exporting it out with a black background. Then using a "screen" or "Add" blend mode over the top of your existing video, and that will remove the black background. Funny enough, I am working right now on completely refreshing this video.. Because my presentation was awful since I was just starting out making tutorials. So be on the lookout for that!

Thanks for this... I'm curious are there any visualizer plugins that work natively in just FCPX or do you need Motion?

I'd love to buy a plugin for FCPX and do my own videos.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Matt Jacques I believe there is one! Here’s a link to it. store.pixelfilmstudios.com/product/fcpx-audio-visualizer/ - unfortunately I have never used it before, so I can’t tell you how good it is. But I have used Pixel Film Studios plugins before, and I have liked them a lot generally. While making this tutorial, I was really hopeful to be able to make it work natively in FCPX, but for whatever reason, Apple hasn’t given us the ability to select an audio element as a drop zone. So we are stuck just building it within motion. Thanks for watching!

Hi, must say it's a very nice tutorial! I am very new to motion and Final cut. I'm trying to make this kind of audio visualizer for my podcast. Don't know why, but my visualizer is not sync with my audio files. It seem a little bit more then 1 second off. So the visualizer start after the audio start. Have any idea? I try to look all over the internet to find an answer. I have try playing with the delay but doesn't seem to change anything. Thank you!

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Hey there! I had someone else have this same issue. I think it might come down to needing to let Motion analyze the entire file all the way through before making any changes. So you might need to just let motion sit for a bit after you select the audio source for the frequencies. Hope that makes sense! Let me know if that doesn’t work.

[@Resiliencebalado]

@@TheFinalCutBro Thank you for the answer. That is what I have done in the first place Let Motion analyse all the data until it clear 100%. I have been able to reduce the delay and almos't got it right. But because the delay have a minimum value, it is not enough. Anyway, thanks, I will try to figure it out!

How do I stop my audio waveform from flickering in apple motion? Help please?

[@bcreativelab796]

hi FCB! great tutorial, working on the visualizer. I was working on a song that contains a lot of white noise and raw samples used. This causes the initial replicator to flicker/react negatively on the Y axis movevent (unwanted). So I played around a little bit and seemingly you can prevent this by reducing the noisiness (0,1) , still it reacts okay then (in my opinion) also added a bit of scale level (minimal though). just sharing this. Keep up the great work!

[@bcreativelab796]

adding info, I noticed that this only works for Y axis flickering in low frequencies. Once the the replicator is duplicated the noisiness is needed for the higher frequency ranges to pick up. I will search for the balance in this ;)

How do i create it as a generator that gives me the advantage to add audios to it on Finalcut?

Hey sorry for a late response on this! Unfortunately at this time it’s not possible, as FCP doesn’t recognize the Audio coming from generators and effects (or drop zones) which super sucks! I’m hoping Apple will finally add that functionality at some point. But as of right now, the best we can do is just build it in Motion. There’s also a few plugins you can purchase that can do this.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

@@ikaichao2941 so looking at this video, you could have the audio animation drive the scale of the image. If you go to the scale property in motion, and click on the down arrow next to it. Then go down to “add parameter behavior” then select audio. Then tie that parameter behavior to your song and let it analyze it. Then you can set the frequency to whatever you like! If it’s not growing large enough for the animation you want, you could set the scale factor at the bottom to something larger than 1 of the audio parameter. And then it should grow much larger according to how the music is playing out. Hope that helps!! I made another Audio visualizer tutorial on my channel if you want to check it out. It goes into some of the stuff this comment talks about. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@holoaudios]

if i export this would i be able to get rid of the black bkgd in FCP? -sorry if this seems dumb im very new at this--

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Yes absolutely! Not a dumb question at all. You can either export it at the maximum possible quality of ProRes 4444 and make a massive file size, but it would have an alpha channel with no black background. Or, the better option in my opinion, is to export it like normal, then in FCP Set the blend mode in the video inspector to either add or screen and that remove the black background. However, that will also make them slightly transparent, depending on how dark your colors are. So just keep that in mind.

Unfortunately Apple hasn’t given us the ability to select the audio track from within FCP :( I’ve been researching for a potential method since creating this tutorial, but thus far I haven’t found anything.

However, if you make this on a 20 min podcast, when you export, it becomes 60 gigs. I had so much trouble. Any help?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

It sounds like you are likely exporting to ProRes 422 (or possibly even 4444). This is going to be a MUCH larger file size. If you were to export it as H.264 with just a black background, this would reduce the size a ton. You can then set the blend mode to Add or Screen in Final Cut Pro if you want the black background gone. Hopefully that gets you started in the right direction!

[@matthoughton3680]

Great in theory BUT... Motion just won't complete the audio analysis for a 45 minute podcast on my M1 MBP. It's so frustrating: it's precisely the effect I want... but it fairly rapidly gets up to 9-10% and then hangs and makes 2-3 percent progress per hour, making it utterly unworkable. Could this be a bug?! This is the sort of effect that should be doable in real time on a modern Mac (and pretty much is in some other apps).

[@ElWumbus]

Please HELP - I'm doing this to an hour + long podcast audio and it only is animating up until about 4 minutes then the lines stop doing their thing and just kind of jitter without much up and down. First four minutes are great though. Any reason you can think of that this may be going on???

Yeah unfortunately that's just the nature of the beast :( Really hoping Apple adds some additional functionality to let audio visualizers work so much better in the future. But right now Motion is working off some ancient tech to analyze audio elements. Appreciate you watching! 👊

hey wsup bro. I'm having a little bit of trouble with something in my visualizer. Do you have an instagram where I can dm you?

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Absolutely! Hit me up @thefinalcutbro

[@Itspronouncedoshay]

@@TheFinalCutBro cool. Just hit you up. Thanks

[@303er]

it didn't work. followed every step 4 times. once I started messing with the duplicates nothing was showing

[@TheFinalCutBro]

So sorry to hear that! I’m curious if you happened to let the audio analyze all the way through once you assigned the audio behavior? It can’t take a little bit of time, and sometimes that breaks things when it doesn’t finish analyzing.

@@TheFinalCutBro not sure, this is #9 try for me. almost had it but the bars are glitching and now they are randomly appearing under the top bars

Hello

lol in 2021 version all of this doesn't work anymore

[@MistyMusicStudio]

For all the people saying this is easy to follow... compared to what? I'm sorry trying to follow this is more work than earning $40 and buying a visualizer plugin.

[@TheFinalCutBro]

Haha you make a good point! That’s a bummer it was hard to follow. Could you let me know some areas I could work on to make it a little easier to understand? I always appreciate constructive criticism. Unfortunately the tools in Motion are somewhat limited, so to get really good results you have to work really hard for it.

[@MistyMusicStudio]

@The Final Cut Bro Yeah you did a good job explaining it, it’s just that there is a sequence of 40+ steps and that is rough lol. I think some complexity could be reduced by having your parameters defined beforehand, instead of adjusting them too much in the vid. Still, the program seems intimidating 😅 Kudos for figuring out this process btw! It definitely takes a sharp mind 🧠 ✨

[@TheFinalCutBro]

@@MistyMusicStudio great input! I’ll try and get that dialed in for future tutorials. Thanks my friend!
